Imaging Study on Halcyon 4.0 System for Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy

This prospective imaging study is evaluating the feasibility of using the Halcyon 4.0 radiotherapy system for radiation therapy planning in patients with cancer. The Halcyon 4.0 system has been engineered to decrease the image acquisition time and the radiation exposure, but the system has not yet been clinically validated for use in radiation planning. This pilot study will evaluate images obtained on the Halcyon 4.0 system to assess if the quality is sufficient for radiation treatment plan construction.

Key information

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Planning to receive radiation therapy to one of the following sites:
  • Head and neck/brain (n=10)
  • Thorax (n=10)
  • Abdomen (n=10)
  • Pelvis (n=10)
  • At least 18 years of age
  • If the patient will be receiving IV contrast on study: Adequate renal function as defined by a serum creatinine < 1.4, or, for patients with chronic kidney disease, a stable serum creatinine < 2.0. Note: if no IV contrast will be administered on study, patient may enroll without creatinine level documented.
  • If the patient is a woman of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test must be obtained. Contraceptive use is not an adequate documentation of no chance of pregnancy.
  • Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document.

Treatment and study plan

Halcyon 4.0 system

Device

During each of the 1 or more imaging sessions, no more than 6 images total will be acquired. Only 5 images total across all of the imaging sessions will be used toward the study endpoint.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of images that are of sufficient quality for patient primary treatment plan construction

    Time frame: At 9 weeks

    If the treatment target and surrounding organs at risk can be visualized and contoured for treatment planning purposes and a treatment plan created that meets the stated objectives ( or better than the stated objectives), then the kV CBCT images will be deemed feasible.
