Meal Impact on Radiation Planning for Liver Cancer
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Standard planning constraints for liver SBRT incorporate strict dose-volume limits for normal liver parenchyma to minimize the risk of radiation-induced liver disease. The presence of diurnal and fasting/fed variations in liver volume therefore carry substantial potential for introducing errors into estimates of dose-volume distribution within normal liver tissue, as well as affecting day-to-day setup fidelity and organ alignment for treatment. This prospective study will examine how diurnal and fast-fed variations in liver volume affect treatment planning for abdominal SBRT.

Radiation Planning for Lymphocytopenia
Charlottesville, Virginia
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell (WBC) responsible for adaptive immunity. Thoracic tumors are adjacent to many blood/immune rich organs including the great vessels, heart, thoracic-spine, and lymph-node-stations. During radiation treatment the impact to lymphocytes can be significant. This may cause a decrease in the amount of lymphocytes. A researcher at UVA has created a system to predict and reduce the immune cell reduction following lung SBRT treatments beyond standard of care. The predicted decrease in lymphocytes will be compared to the actual decrease in lymphocytes found in peripheral blood.
Researchers have found a way to give radiation that they think will result in a smaller decrease in lymphocytes after radiation. There will be two groups in this study, about half of the participants will have their radiation designed to decrease radiation to organs with a lot of blood and the other half will receive standard radiation therapy.
Participants are being asked to take part in this study because the participants have been diagnosed with NSCLC and will be receiving a type of radiation therapy called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) where high doses of radiation will be delivered to the tumor, while minimizing damage to healthy surrounding tissues.

SBRT for Oligo-Progressive Cancer
Toronto, Ontario
Systemic therapy is the main treatment for patients with metastatic cancers. Oligo-progression has become a recognized entity for metastatic cancer and it is thought that a subset of cancer cells may develop heterogeneity and resistant clones while receiving systemic therapy. This results in overall tumor response but progression in metastatic sites. Current standard is to change systemic therapies. With advancing technologies, stereotactic body radiation therapy is being used to deliver high doses of focused radiation to the disease site, while minimizing risk of injury to the surrounding organs. SBRT is increasingly being used in patients presenting oligo-metastatic disease, and is recognized as having a potential for cure. This study will investigate the use of SBRT for breast and genito-urinary cancer patients with oligo-progression. Patients will be seen before and at the end of treatment and will be followed at 4 month intervals for up to 2 years.
During the visits participants will complete quality of life questionnaires and will have standard of care imaging.
Patients will also have the option to provide blood at baseline, during treatment, and at various follow up time points for analysis of ctDNA

SBRT for Post-Prostatectomy Prostate Cancer
Toronto, Ontario
Radical prostatectomy is a common treatment for localized prostate cancer. More than 30% of men who undergo surgery will subsequently develop recurrence, particularly in patients with adverse features where the risk may be even higher. Recurrence typically manifests as a rise in serum-level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), referred to as biochemical recurrence. Post-operative radiotherapy is a potentially curative option for many patients, as shown in multiple prior randomized studies. A standard course of post-operative radiation requires 6 to 6 and half weeks of treatment, 5 days a week; however, new high-precision radiation techniques with image guidance, termed stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), can deliver an equivalent or higher dose of treatment in 5 visits. Our group, amongst others, have demonstrated in previous studies, that the new 5-treatment technique was safe, convenient and effective in patients with intact prostates. Currently, limited data exists on this approach after prostatectomy. This study will be one of the first to assess the side effect profile and efficacy of SBRT in patients with localized prostate cancer who are considered candidates for post-prostatectomy radiation.

Chemoimmunotherapy + Radiation for Lung Cancer
Glen Burnie, Maryland
The purpose of this research study is to find out if adding radiation prior to chemoimmunotherapy and surgery is effective for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have the potential for surgery.
Standard of Care Chemoimmunotherapy:
For this study, standard of care chemotherapy will be used. This means this is the type of chemotherapy that is normal for your cancer. In addition to the chemotherapy, you will also receive the immunotherapy drug, nivolumab. This will be administered intravenously once every 3 weeks for up to 3 cycles (i.e. 9 weeks of total systemic therapy), prior to surgical resection assessment. This combination is made up of the chemotherapy drugs carboplatin or cisplatin along with pemetrexed, paclitaxel or gemcitabine, and the immunotherapy drug is nivolumab. The chemotherapy is used to kill cancer cells, and the immunotherapy enables your immune system to attack cancer cells.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) SBRT is when radiation is delivered at higher doses over a smaller period of time. For this study, you will receive three doses of radiation delivered every other day, for three total days. The final dose of radiation will happen within 7 days of starting chemoimmunotherapy.
You will be followed for up to 100 days following your last chemoimmunotherapy dose to monitor for potential side effects. Following this you will continue with your standard follow up with your doctor. During the standard follow-up time, study staff will review your charts to see if there have been any new updates with your cancer following treatment so they can tell how this treatment affects how long patients live and whether it helps avoid recurrence of the cancer.

Trimodality Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Durham, North Carolina
This study will enroll prostate cancer patients with an unfavorable intermediate- or high-risk diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a regimen of pembrolizumab and low dose prostate radiation or low dose prostate radiation alone prior to a prostatectomy affects cells of the immune system and if it is a safe option for this stage of prostate cancer. Participants will be randomized 1:1 (like flipping a coin) to receive pembrolizumab, low dose prostate radiation and a prostatectomy or low dose prostate radiation and a prostatectomy. Pembrolizumab is an investigational drug that increases the ability of the immune system to kill tumor cells. Low dose radiation can alter the way tumor cells look to the immune cells. For example, the immune cells may express different proteins that make them more susceptible to immune cell killing or the structure of the tumor may be altered to allow the immune cells to infiltrate the tumor more thoroughly. The prostate tissue collected from the prostatectomy will be analyzed for differences in pathology and local immune cell infiltration, and participants will be followed for 2 years to watch for prostate specific antigen (PSA) recurrence and prostate cancer recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Sbrt clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Sbrt clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Sbrt trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Sbrt is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Sbrt medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Sbrt clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Trimodality Therapy for Prostate Cancer, Proton SBRT for Spinal Cancer and Chemoimmunotherapy + Radiation for Lung Cancer to the Power online platform.
