About this trial

This prospective phase II study evaluates the efficacy and safety of MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (MRIgSBRT) in patients with oligometastatic peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastrointestinal or gynecological tumors. Eligible patients with up to 5 MRI-visible peritoneal lesions and PCI ≤20 will be treated with MRIgSBRT using a hybrid MRI-linear accelerator with online adaptive planning and real-time tumor tracking.

The primary endpoint is radiologic response rate according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, progression-free survival, local control, chemotherapy-free survival, and treatment-related toxicity. The study aims to assess MRIgSBRT as a safe and non-invasive treatment option for selected patients with limited peritoneal metastatic disease.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years

ECOG performance status 0-2

Life expectancy ≥6 months

Up to 5 MRI-visible peritoneal nodules

Disqualifiers

Diffuse peritoneal carcinomatosis

Psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule (those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial)

Significant comorbidities (such as: severe cardiac or coagulative disease, moderate or severe

restrictive/obsiructive lung deficit, severe cognitive impairment, moderate and severe renal and hepatic impairment.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy

    Device

    Patients will receive MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (MRIgSBRT) delivered using a hybrid MRI-linear accelerator with online adaptive planning and real-time tumor tracking. Treatment will consist of 30-50 Gy delivered in 5 fractions according to clinical judgment, target characteristics, and organ-at-risk constraints. Daily adaptive replanning may be performed to account for anatomical changes and optimize dose delivery in patients with oligometastatic peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Radiological Response Rate (RR)

RR: The response rate will be calculated as the proportion of patients achieving a complete or partial radiological response out of the total number of evaluable patients according to RECIST 1.1 criteria

Time frame
Up to 12 months after completion of MRIgSBRT
