About this trial

This research is being done to determine the safety and feasibility of using a type of radiation guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and chemotherapy to treat patients with gastric and breast cancer. The name of the radiation machine involved in this study is the MRIdian Linear Accelerator.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed malignancy requiring radiation

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Patients and delivering MR-image guided radiation-Phase I

Master feasibility study evaluating MR-image guided radiation. Feasibility is defined as Enrolling patients and delivering MR-image guided radiation on the MR Linac

Time frame
5 weeks
2

Tumor Assessment with MR Guidance-Phase I

Master feasibility study evaluating MR-image guided radiation. Feasibility is defined as assessing tumor using MR guidance before, during and after MR-guided treatment patient.

Time frame
5 weeks
3

Patient reported outcomes (PROMs) -Phase II

PROMs are collected at patient visits. PROMs will be evaluated using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). The PROMIS Global-10 metric collects information on symptoms and quality of life.

Time frame
1 year
4

1-year tumor control-Phase II

Tumor response 1 year after radiation treatment

Time frame
1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Number of Participants with Treatment Related Adverse Events as Assessed CTCAE version 5.0.

Toxicity of MRgRT with concurrent chemotherapy will be summarized by category and grade according to CTCAE version 5.0.

Time frame
90 Days
2

Number of Participants with Treatment Related Adverse Events as Assessed CTCAE version 5.0.

CTCAE version 5.0.

Time frame
1 year
3

Duration of treatment with goal of >80% of cases treated within 90 minutes

Total time of treatment for each fraction

Time frame
7 weeks
4

Number of treatment fractions that would have resulted in unacceptably high dose (exceeding constraint) to an OAR without MR-image guided radiation.

Importance of MR-guidance

Time frame
5 Weeks
