REMIND: Real-time Motion Management During Prostate and Lung Radiotherapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this interventional non-inferiority trial is to assess the accuracy of different real-time motion management radiotherapy techniques. The main question the study aims to answer are:
-
What are the target margins for radiotherapy with motion management that are not inferior to target margin without motion management
-
What are the dosimetric and geometrical accuracy to patient for the motion management techniques.
Participants will answer QoL questionary, and the accuracy of treatment will be assessed from treatment data.

Detailed Description
This study will assess the feasibility of implementing real-time tracking in a clinical setting to account for the relative motion of the moving tumours localised to the prostate or lung. The capability to track the treatment target's motion will ensure that the dose prescribed by the radiation oncologist is the dose delivered to the target and minimises side effects to the critical organs.
During radiation treatment, the target position will be monitored in real-time using built-in imaging technology. The radiation beam shape will be altered to compensate for the moved target positions by the treatment delivery system. The delivered dose to the patient will be calculated after the treatment and compared to the dose without real-time tracking to assess the potential benefit to treatment efficacy, recognising that the radiation dose received by tumour tissue is a very strong biomarker for response.
The estimated dose distributions will be compared to the original plan for non-inferiority using the dose reconstruction method based on the prostate motion trajectory and the logged MLC positions (beam shapes).
Also, the impact on organs at risk doses due to MLC target tracking.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Triggered Imaging with TrueBeam for prostate cancer Patients will undergo radiotherapy using the Triggered Imaging technique with TrueBeam for prostate cancer. The technology on the TrueBeam allows for monitoring and gating of the radiation beam in relation to the target position. |
Radiation: Triggered imaging on TrueBeam with margin reduction
At interim analysis the Planning target volume (PTV) will be reduced based on the accuracy of the TrueBeam triggered imaging motion management technique.
|
| Experimental: Synchrony with Radixact for prostate cancer Patients will undergo radiotherapy using the Synchrony technique with Radixact for prostate cancer. Multi-Leaf Collimator Adaptation (MLC) and kilovoltage (kV) Intrafraction Monitoring with the Synchrony technique on the Radixact radiotherapy machine. |
Radiation: Synchrony MLC tracking on fiducials with margin reduction
At interim analysis the Planning target volume (PTV) will be reduced based on the accuracy of the Radixact Synchrony motion management technique.
|
| Experimental: Synchrony with Radixact for lung cancer Patients will undergo radiotherapy using the Synchrony technique with Radixact for lung cancer. MLC Adaptation, Respiratory Motion Tracking, and kV Intrafraction Monitoring with the adaptive Synchrony technique on the Radixact radiotherapy machine. |
Radiation: Synchrony MLC tracking and lung adaptive model with margin reduction
At interim analysis the Planning target volume (PTV) will be reduced based on the accuracy of the Radixact Synchrony motion management technique for lung cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Dosemetric accuracy [At treatment completion, approximately 1-4 weeks]
Dose coverage defined as dose to 99% of clinical target volume (CTV) (D99%) to target including margin for other uncertainties.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Geometric accuracy [At treatment completion, approximately 1-4 weeks]
The geometric accuracy of the beam shape, determined by comparing the ideal beam shape with the actual beam shape based on the centroid of the shape as assessed with mean absolute error (MAE)
- Motion trajectory [At treatment completion, approximately 1-4 weeks]
Motion trajectory measured by kilovoltage imaging, including any prediction algorithms compared to without latency and other limitations compared with MAE.
- Acute Toxicity [Baseline prior to first fraction. At end of radiotherapy (1-4 weeks) and at 3 months after last fraction..]
EORTC guided and physician assessed
- Mechanical & software failure [At treatment completion, approximately 1-4 weeks]
The percentage of fractions delivered without software or mechanical failure
