RELAY: Serial MRI Scans During Radiation Therapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a phase 1 study to determine the feasibility and utility of using serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess treatment response during and after radiation therapy (standard of care cancer treatment) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma.
The research study procedures include three MRI scans (one pre treatment, during and post standard care cancer radiation therapy) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma.
The research study procedures include:
-
Screening for eligibility
-
Three MRI scans

Detailed Description
This phase 1, non randomized open label study, evaluating feasibility of serial MRI, with an option for an expansion cohort. The optional expansion cohort is a prospective imaging registry evaluating imaging biomarkers as predictors of disease control with standard of care treatment.
This research study is a feasibility study, which means it is the first-time investigators at this institution are examining the process of getting multiple MRIs during radiation treatment.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared this MRI scanner for use.
Participants who fulfill eligibility criteria will be entered into the trial.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Feasibility of acquiring serial MRI scans on an MRI simulator during treatment with radiation therapy [1 year]
90% lower confidence limit (LCL) on the true feasibility rate feasibility is defined as successfully enrolling patients
- Ability to measure disease control (for imaging expansion cohort) [2 years]
Validating a previously developed predictive model to identify most likely area of recurrence using MRI-based features
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Dosimetric Change [1 year]
For subprotocols studying the adaptive treatment, the secondary objective is dosimetric change in the in silico adaptive radiation therapy plans, without delivering adaptive plans in Phase I
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Participants must have a confirmed malignancy requiring radiation therapy.
-
Age: 18 years or older
-
ECOG performance status ≤2 (Karnofsky ≥60%, see Appendix A)
-
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
-
Any further criteria listed in the specific disease site sub protocol
-
Patients must be considered appropriate candidates for neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy followed by esophagectomy
-
Patients with a histologically confirmed newly diagnosed intracranial glioblastoma or gliosarcoma who will be undergoing radiation therapy as part of clinical care.
-
Patients with localized prostate caner who are planned to receive androgen deprivation therapy and definitive radiation therapy.
-
Patients with Biopsy-proven locally advanced vulvar cancer for which definitive radiotherapy is planned
-
Patients who are age 18 or under (or 18-30 if physician determines that biology is consistent with pediatric high grade glioma) with a histologically confirmed newly diagnosed high-grade glioma (WHO grade III or IV) who will be undergoing radiation therapy as part of clinical care. Patients with DIPG are only eligible if biopsy-confirmed high grade DIPG is present.
Exclusion Criteria
-
Disease-specific exclusion criteria will be specified in a sub protocol.
-
