NCT ID NCT07733219

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can safely treat ultra-central lung tumors—growths located near the windpipe and major airways. Using an MR-LINAC machine, doctors can adjust the radiation beam in real time as the patient breathes, potentially sparing healthy tissue. The study enrolls adults with early-stage lung cancer or isolated tumor recurrences in the chest, and tracks whether this technique lowers the chance of severe side effects like lung scarring or bleeding.

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 body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivered via MR-LINAC
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a safer way to treat hard-to-reach lung tumors with high-dose radiation, reducing the risk of severe side effects.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 59 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment still carries risks of serious lung or airway damage.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 59 people

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 year-old 2. Clinical status: 1. Primary lung tumour T1-T2 N0, confirmed histologically by bronchoscopic examination, or meeting the criteria set out in the Aura 2026 and ASTRO guidelines for the indication of stereotactic radiotherapy (tumor growth of at least 2 mm between two CT scans performed 3 months apart, metabolic hyper-intensity on PET, and no pathological evidence), OR 2. Metachronous oligometastatic disease: isolated mediastinal or non-central pulmonary lymph node recurrence occurring sometimes after initial cancer treatments for an initially localised, locally advanced or oligometastatic cancer that has been treated OR 3. Synchronous oligometastatic disease: all metastatic sites and the primary tumour must be amenable to local debulking treatment following systemic treatment. Systemic treatment (chemotherapy or targeted therapy) must not be administered concurrently with radiotherapy OR 4. Metachronous oligoprogression: isolated metastatic recurrence in the mediastinal or ultra-central lung lymph nodes, with the primary tumour and metastatic sites under control (no change observed on two consecutive imaging scans and a complete metabolic response on PET) and not requiring continued treatment with chemotherapy or targeted therapy to ensure disease control (hormone therapy is, however, permitted) 3. Patient unsuitable for surgery, and treatment with stereotactic RT validated by multidisciplinary tumor board (including the radiation oncologist and medical physician) 4. Ultracentral lesion defined by a GTV less than 1 cm of the PBT (proximal bronchial trachea, including the main bronchi, trachea and intermediate bronchi), oesophagus, or pericardum 5. ECOG performance status ≤2 (for all patients) 6. Patient covered by a health insurance system 7. Patient agreed to take part in the study, and signed an informed consent form 8. Use of a method of contraception (for female patients of childbearing age) Exclusion Criteria: 1. Tumour with intrabronchial or intratracheal invasion identified by fibroscopy, bronchoscopy or localisation MRI 2. Prior RT overlapping the intended treatment field 3. Patients with oligoprogression requiring continued systemic treatment during RT 4. Uncontrolled intercurrent diseases 5. Contraindication to radiotherapy due to a comorbidity such as pulmonary fibrosis or scleroderma 6. Respiratory contraindications (FEV1 \< 20%) 7. Need of oncologic systemic treatment during RT 8. Contraindication to MRI (e.g. severe claustrophobia unmanageable) 9. Pregnancy or breastfeeding patient 10. Patient under guardianship or curatorship
