- Registration Number
- NCT05682950
- Lead Sponsor
- Peking Union Medical College Hospital
- Brief Summary
Online adaptive radiotherapy has demonstrated to be feasible to reduce inter-fractional radiotherapy errors as it re-optimizes treatment plan every fraction. To investigate the extent and value of margin reduction，we conduct a prospective clinical trial to determine the optimal margin and toxicity of smaller margin.
- Detailed Description
This is a prospective phase II clinical trial with an anticipated total of more than 380 radiotherapy fractions of 15 patients to evaluate optimal margin of iterative cone-beam computed tomography（iCBCT） guided online adaptive radiotherapy （oART） for postoperative treatment of endometrial and cervical cancer. Postoperative endometrial and cervical cancer patients with following characteristics are included in the present study:（a）underwent radical surgery （b）no residual tumor at the resection margin by postoperative pathology（c）pathological findings indicate risk factors but no metastasis (d) adjuvant radiotherapy are prescribe (e)without evidence of para-aortic metastatic lymph nodes. Five patients （almost 125 fractions）treated with oART have the target volume contoured on pre-treatment iCBCTs and end-treatment iCBCTs. Anterior-posterior, lateral, and superior-inferior shifts were calculated and the average shift in all directions was calculated. A clinical target volume (CTV) to planing tumor volume (PTV) expansion is determined and verifies on a validation cohort of 10 patients (almost 250 fractions) treated with oART. Record acute toxicity from the start of treatment to 3 months after treatment.

Group Intervention Description Online Adaptive Radiotherapy online adaptive radiotherapy Patients receive online adaptive radiotherapy. The CTV contours of the following areas: vaginal cuff, obturator nodal chain, internal iliac nodal chain, external iliac nodal chain, presacral nodal chain and common iliac nodal chain. The upper border of CTV is at the level of aortic bifurcation. A dose of 45-50.4Gy is delivered to CTV with online adaptive radiotherapy.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The dose coverage of target volume as assessed by planing tumor volume V100% Through study completion, total an average of six month Planing tumor volume V100%, defined as the planing tumor volume receiving at least 100% of the prescribed dose (V100%), is used to evaluate the dose coverage of target volume.
A minimum PTV margin could encompass CTV Through study completion, toral an average of six month Expansions were applied to the pretreatment PTV to assess required minimum margin required to encompass the postreatment CTV.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety for treatment as assessed by organs at risk doses Through study completion, total an average of six month Safety for treatment was mainly evaluated by the organs at risk doses, including bladder, rectum, bone marrow, etc
Number of participants with acute toxicity as assessed by CTCAE 5.0 From the start of treatment to 3 months after treatment Evaluated with CTCAE 5.0
Adaptive time data Through study completion, total an average of six month For each treatment in each fraction, adaptive time was recorded from first cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to the selection of the preferred plan for the treatment.
Target contouring accuracy Through study completion, total an average of six month For every target in each fraction, the evaluation of accuracy for target contouring are categorized as follow: no edits, minor edits, moderate edits, major edits and not applicable.
Organs at risk contouring accuracy Through study completion, total an average of six month For every organs at risk in each fraction, the evaluation of accuracy for organs at risk contouring are categorized as follows: no edits, minor edits, moderate edits, major edits and not applicable.
Late toxicity evaluated with Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)/EORTC late radiation morbidity scoring scheme total an average of 2-year Evaluated every three months with Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)/EORTC late radiation morbidity scoring scheme
