Stereotactic Magnetic Resonance-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy with or without AGuIX for the Treatment of Central Lung Tumors and Locally Advanced Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Trial Status: temporarily closed to accrual

This Phase I/II trial is to find the side effects and best dose of irradiation X polysiloxane/gadolinium chelates-based nanoparticles (AGuIX) in combination with stereotactic magnetic resonance (MR)-guided adaptive radiation therapy (SMART) for the treatment of central lung tumors and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue and lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). AGuIX is a gadolinium-based nanoparticle, and gadolinium is a contrast agent used in MRI. SMART is a form of stereotactic body radiation therapy. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period of time and cause less damage to normal tissue.
