Brief Summary

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

This study is being performed to assess the feasibility of adapting radiotherapy plans based on functional lung information and increasing the dose to the primary tumour. This is a single arm interventional pilot study involving 20 patients.

Aims Primary: to assess the feasibility of using ventilation and perfusion positron emission computed tomography (V/Q PET/CT) scans to adapt radiotherapy plans using Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) to avoid regions of functional lung and deliver a higher dose to the primary tumour Secondary: to assess the incidence of acute and late radiotherapy toxicities, to quantify regional ventilation loss and regional perfusion loss on post treatment V/Q PET/CT, to assess associations of V/Q PET/CT with other functional lung imaging techniques, to assess overall survival, progression free survival and quality of life outcomes.

Participants: 20 patients stage IIIa-c non-small cell lung cancer for curative intent radiotherapy.

Methods: All patients will receive functional lung adapted 60 Gray (Gy) in 30 fractions to the primary and nodal planning target volume with a simultaneous integrated boost to the primary tumour to a total dose 69Gy in 30 fractions.

Expected outcomes: That functionally adapted lung radiotherapy using V/Q PET/CT imaging and VMAT planning is technically feasible.
