Brief Summary

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

Primary and secondary liver cancer patients will receive liver SABR with or without KIM intervention.

Detailed Description

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

This is a single arm, phase II, two stage study designed to evaluate cancer targeting accuracy, treatment outcomes and treatment efficiency in 46 patients eligible for SABR for either primary or secondary liver malignancy with the incorporation of KIM.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SABR with or without KIM

All patients will receive liver SABR. Kilovoltage Intrafraction Monitoring (KIM) tracking will be trialed during mock treatment. If KIM is successful, it will be used throughout treatment. If unsuccessful, cone beam CT will be used instead.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kilovoltage Intrafraction Monitoring

Intervention Type DEVICE

KIM is a novel intrafraction real-time tumour localization method. It involves a single gantry-mounted kV x-ray imager acquiring 2D projections of implanted fiducial markers. 3D positions are then reconstructed by maximum likelihood estimation of a 3D probability density function.
