Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This research is being done to determine the safety and feasibility of using a type of radiation guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and chemotherapy to treat patients with gastric and breast cancer. The name of the radiation machine involved in this study is the MRIdian Linear Accelerator.

Detailed Description

This is a master clinical protocol evaluating magnetic resonance (MR) image guided radiation in patients with gastric and breast cancer.

In this research study, the investigators are researching if getting an MRI during radiation is a feasible way to delivery radiation. In this research study, a MRI done during treatment will help doctors adapt the radiation to target the most precise spot where the cancer is located.

The research study procedures include:

* Screening for eligibility

* Study treatment including evaluations

* Follow up visits

* Questionnaires

This is a Phase I/II clinical trial. A Phase I clinical trial tests the safety of investigational radiation treatment and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational radiation treatment to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the way the radiation treatment is delivered is being studied.

This research study is a Feasibility Study, which means it is the first-time investigators at this institution are examining this type of MR-guided radiation. Investigators at other hospitals and academic centers are already using this type of radiation.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved this radiation machine and these drugs as treatment options for gastric and breast cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Tumor Assessment with MR Guidance-Phase I5 weeks

Master feasibility study evaluating MR-image guided radiation. Feasibility is defined as assessing tumor using MR guidance before, during and after MR-guided treatment patient.

Patient reported outcomes (PROMs) -Phase II1 year

PROMs are collected at patient visits. PROMs will be evaluated using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). The PROMIS Global-10 metric collects information on symptoms and quality of life.

1-year tumor control-Phase II1 year

Tumor response 1 year after radiation treatment

Number of Patients and delivering MR-image guided radiation-Phase I5 weeks

Master feasibility study evaluating MR-image guided radiation. Feasibility is defined as Enrolling patients and delivering MR-image guided radiation on the MR Linac

Rate of Pathologic complete response-Gastric1 year

full pathological review of surgical specimen according to the AJCC Staging Classification, 8th edition. pCR will be defined as the absence of any viable tumor cells within the pathologic specimen.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Duration of treatment with goal of >80% of cases treated within 90 minutes7 weeks

Total time of treatment for each fraction

Number of treatment fractions that would have resulted in unacceptably high dose (exceeding constraint) to an OAR without MR-image guided radiation.5 Weeks

Importance of MR-guidance

Progression Free Survivalirst date of protocol therapy to the earliest date of disease progression per RECIST criteria or death due to any cause up to 12 Months

Estimated using the Kaplan Meier method with 95% confidence intervals based on the complementary log-log transformation.

Overall Survivalirst date of protocol therapy to the date of death due to any cause. OS time will be censored at the date of last follow-up for patients still alive up to 1 year

The OS rate will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with 95% confidence intervals based on the complementary log-log transformation.
