MAP-RT: Same-session MR-only Simulation and Treatment With MRI-guided Adaptive Palliative RadioTherapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This proposed study is unique in that patients will not undergo computed tomography (CT) simulation at any point during their treatment course and will instead have same-session magnetic resonance (MR)-only simulation and treatment planning, on-table, using the adaptive radiotherapy (ART) workflow. In this manner, patients requiring urgent treatment could initiate treatment as early as the day of initial radiation oncology consultation.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Volumetric MR imaging planning All patients will undergo volumetric MR imaging on treatment days in positioning appropriate for the specific treatment site. Patients will receive standard of care palliative radiation therapy |
Device: Volumetric MR imaging
This will most frequently be supine with arms positioned so not in the way of treatment beams.
Radiation: Radiation therapy

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Feasibility of same-session MRI-only simulation as measured by the number of participants who receive at least 70% of their scheduled treatment fractions on the first on-table attempt for each respective fraction [Completion of enrollment (approximately 29 months)]
