Image Guided Radiation Therapy with MRI for the Treatment of Cancer, CONFIRM Study
This clinical trial studies image guided radiation therapy with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in treating patients with cancer. Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiation may help maximize the amount of radiation tumors get and minimize any radiation to nearby healthy tissue. This may help determine if this type of radiation therapy has an impact on experiences of radiation and affects how well the radiation and chemotherapy treats cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine feasibility and safety of utilizing MR-image guided radiation in patients with cancer. (Phase I)
II. To evaluate patient reported outcomes (PROM’s) and 1-year tumor control (LC) of patients receiving MR-image guided radiation. (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess acute (90 days) toxicity, evaluating patient-reported outcomes (PROM’s), and evaluating local control (LC) of patients receiving MR-image guided radiation. (Phase I)
II. Assess long-term (12 month) toxicity, characterizing MRI-based tumor alterations/changes following MR-image guided radiation, assess disease-specific survival, overall survival and quality of life (QoL) in patients receiving MR-image guided radiation. (Phase II)
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To investigate the biologic, molecular, immunogenic and radiographic activity of patients receiving MR-image guided radiation and potentially identify clinical or radiographic biomarkers predictive of radiation response.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo magnetic resonance guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) once daily (QD) over 5 weeks in patients with gastric cancer, over 2 weeks in patients with breast cancer, over 3 weeks in patients with lymphoma cancer, QD or once every other day over 3 weeks in patients with laryngeal cancer, per investigator discretion in patients with bladder cancer and pediatric extracranial solid tumor and lymphoma patients, and QD over 2-2.5 weeks in patients with lung cancer. All patients undergo planning computed tomography (CT) and MRI at baseline/simulation. Patients with gastric cancer, breast cancer, lymphoma and pediatric extracranial solid tumor and lymphoma undergo CT, MRI, or positron emission tomography (PET) throughout the study. Laryngeal cancer patients undergo a stroboscopy at baseline and laryngoscopy, CT, MRI and blood sample collection throughout the study. Bladder cancer patients undergo transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) at screening and urine and blood sample collection, cystoscopy, x-ray and CT throughout the study.
After completion of study, patients are followed up 4-8 weeks after radiation, every 3-6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.
