Adaptive Radiotherapy Using Plan Selection for Bladder Cancer

This protocol describes a Phase 2 clinical trial of online adaptive Radiotherapy, using a library of 3 dose plans corresponding to Small, Medium and Large size bladder. The procedure includes 'Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects'(CTCAE) for registration of adverse effects (baseline, every 2'nd week during RT, 2 weeks, 3, 6, 12 and 24 month after RT) as well as cineMR for intra-fractional motion (baseline and every week during RT). Patients receive standard non-adaptive RT in the first week. Delineations of the bladder on the Cone-Beam scans (CBCT) from first week of treatment are used for planning the Small and Medium size bladder plans. Large size plan are the standard non-adaptive treatment plan used for the first week of treatment. A margin of 5 mm for intra fractional movement is used.

About this study

After inclusion patients are asked about their adverse effects by an oncologist using CTCAE (version 4.0) questionnaire. A planning CT-scan is acquired and for the first 10 patients also a MR-scan for intra fractional motion is acquired. The MR sequence is repeated every week during radiotherapy. The first week of treatment a standard non-adaptive IMRT-plan is used and CBCT-scans are acquired before and after treatment. The CBCT-scans are used for delineation of the bladder on the CBCT-scans from the first 4 fractions. The adaptive plans are generated from the union of the first 4 CBCT-bladders and the planning CT bladder (medium size) and the volume contained in at least 2 out of the 5 bladder volumes (small size). Details can be found in the reference list. From the 6'Th fraction the treatment is performed using the most appropriate size of treatment plan. CTCAE is repeated every other week during radiotherapy and 2 weeks, 3, 6, 12 and 24 month after radiotherapy.

Treatment and study plan

Adaptive Radiotherapy

Radiation

CTCAE scoring baseline, every 2'nd week during RT, 2 weeks, 3, 12 and 24 month after RT cineMR (time resolved MR) baseline and weekly during RT for intra fractional motion

Other names: Online Adaptive RT using plan selection

Primary outcomes

  1. Gastro- Intestinal toxicity

    Time frame: Up to 2 years after ART

    Grade 2 or more GI toxicity using CTCAE 4.0 baseline, every 2'nd week during RT, 2 weeks, 3, 12 and 24 month after RT

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intra-fractional changes of bladder shape and size

    Time frame: spring 2013

    CineMR (time resolved MR) is performed pre-treatment and weekly during RT for the first 10 patients

  2. Difference in accumulated dose to normal tissue

    Time frame: autum 2014

    The gain of normal tissue sparring will be calculated using dose accumulation

  3. 1 or 2 years disease free survival

    Time frame: 2015

    1 or 2 years disease free survival will be calculated
