A Volume, Motion, and Anatomically Adaptive Approach to Photon and Proton Beam Radiotherapy

Study summary

This pilot study will determine changes over time in tumor volume/motion \& patient anatomy, as well as dose distributions to normal organs. The study will inform medical decision-making about need for (and timing of) re-calibration of radiation dosimetry plans. Weekly CT and/or serial MR scans will be employed for those patients receiving 7-8 wks of radiation therapy. The study will enroll 30 patients in each stratum: Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Head \& Neck, gastrointestinal (GI) and Gynecologic tumor.

Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria

Aged 18 and above.
Biopsy proven diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, head and neck, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, anal, hepatic, biliary, colorectal, cervical, endometrial, vaginal, vulvar, ovarian cancer and any other gastrointestinal or gynecological cancers requiring definitive radiotherapy alone with or without concurrent chemotherapy.
Able to provide written informed consent and comply with all study procedures.
Entire course of radiotherapy will be delivered at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine.

Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion criteria

\- Pregnancy or women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active and not willing/able to use medically acceptable forms of contraception; this exclusion is necessary because the treatment involved in this study may be significantly teratogenic.

Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
