New MRI-Guided radiation aims to hit tumors harder, spare healthy tissue
NCT ID NCT05903430
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether doctors can deliver very high doses of radiation to tumors in the abdomen or chest using an MRI-guided machine, while limiting harm to nearby organs. About 60 people with abdominal or lung cancer will take part. The main goal is to see if the treatment can be completed successfully in most patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MRI-guided stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) using a high-field MR-Linac
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could enable more precise, high-dose radiation treatment for abdominal and lung cancers while reducing damage to nearby healthy organs.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The main goal is to see if the technique is practical, not yet to prove it works better than standard care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: 1. Have no MRI contra-indications. 2. Eligible for abdominal SABR in accordance with the NHSE SABR Consortium Guidelines or eligible for central lung SABR in accordance with RTOG Guidelines. 3. Be able to give informed consent. 4. Anticipated life-expectancy \> 6 months. 5. Not more than 3 oligmetastatic sites treated in total per patients. 6. Performance status ≤ 2. 7. Willing to attend follow-up and have details collected on prospective basis for a minimum of 1 year. Exclusion criteria: 1. Any contraindications to MRI identified after MRI safety screening including completion of an MRI Safety Screening Form. 2. Unable to tolerate MRI scans. 3. Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases which, in the view of the investigator make it undesirable for the patient to participate in the study. 4. Any evidence of significant clinical disorder or laboratory finding which, in the opinion of the investigator, make it undesirable for the patient to participate in the study. 5. Any patient known to have active hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
