Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The principal objective of the trial is to test the hypothesis that Online Adaptive Radiotherapy for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer is feasible across multiple Radiation Oncology departments.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a single-arm multicentre feasibility trial in which the primary aim is to determine the compliance rate of patients to online adaptive radiotherapy for muscle invasive bladder cancer over multiple Australian and New Zealand centres. The compliance rate is defined as the proportion of patients successfully completing treatment without a major protocol deviation.

Subject to the accrual being at least 40 patients in the first 2 years, accrual will continue until a total of 50 patients have been accrued. If this accrual target is not met, then consideration will be given to stopping the trial early due to poor accrual. Each patient will be followed-up until 2 years after the last patient's date of accrual. Assessments for toxicity and recurrence or progression will take place at four weeks after completion of treatment, then three monthly from the end of treatment for the first 12 months and then 6 monthly thereafter.

Arm 1

Radiation Therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Radiation Therapy

Intervention Type RADIATION

A radical dose of radiotherapy to be delivered to the entire bladder volume: 64Gy in 32 fractions over 6 weeks and 2 treatment days.

* Conventional plan is used to deliver treatment for fractions 1 to 7 using a standard planning approach and a CTV to PTV margin of 1.5cm.
* Adaptive plan is used to deliver treatment for fractions 8 through 32 using the same standard techniques as for fractions 1 to 7 but using one of three specific CTV volumes,namely: small, average or large. In all these cases the CTV to PTV margin is 0.7cm. Image guidance using a treatment unit based verification CT unit (Cone Beam CT or CT on Rails)based on soft tissue delineation is used to position the treatment fields and select the plan to best cover the CTV.
