Study Overview

Pivotal Study of Proton Radiotherapy Treatments Using Fixed Beam Chair-Based Delivery System

This study with Chair-Based, Gantry-less Proton System (CBGS) (aka P-CURE Proton Beam Therapy System or Fixed Beam Chair-based Delivery System) is composed of 3 arms, as following: ARM1: Patients with locally recurrent, previously irradiated thoracic cancer indicated for re- irradiation. ARM2: Patients with recurrent Head and Neck, Brain and Spinal Cord tumors, indicated for re- irradiation. ARM3: Patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. The primary objectives of the study for all arms are: 1. to describe the efficacy (local control after 3 month) and acute toxicity for patients treated with a fully-integrated CBGS and (2) to compare treatment plans between the fully-integrated CBGS and Photon therapy defined for each patient, based upon OAR sparing for comparable target coverage.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Patients with locally recurrent, previously irradiated thoracic cancer

Prospective study shall evaluate treatment efficacy, toxicity, QOL and plan parity in patients with recurrent thoracic cancer previously irradiated, undergoing proton radiation therapy

DEVICE: Proton Radiation

  • Proton beam radiotherapy, first proposed by Robert Wilson at Harvard University in 1946, utilizes an energetic beam of ionized hydrogen nuclei (protons) directed at the tumor volume to effect DNA damage of the targeted cells. Today, there are hundreds of
EXPERIMENTAL: Patients with recurrent Head and Neck, Brain and Spinal Cord tumors, indicated for re- irradiation

The prospective study shall evaluate treatment Efficacy, Toxicity, Quality of Life (QOL), and plan parity in adult patients with recurrent Head and Neck and Brain cancer undergoing proton radiation therapy

EXPERIMENTAL: Patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer

This prospective study shall evaluate treatment feasibility utilizing the CBGS for unresectable pancreatic cancer with concurrent chemotherapy

Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Local ControlThe duration of local control will be measured from the start date of protocol radiation until the date of progressive disease. Local control will be determined based on RECIST Criteria Version 1.1.3 months
Acute ToxicityIncidence of treatment-related grade 3-5 adverse events, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.03 months
Treatment Plan Comparison between Chair Based Proton System and Photon therapyAnalysis and comparison of dose volume histograms (DVHs) and isodoses for each modality3 months
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Progression Free SurvivalThe time from study registration until the first occurrence of local, regional, or distant progression, or death from any cause, or until last follow-up2 years
Overall SurvivalThe time from study registration until death or last follow-up2 years
Long-term ToxicityIncidence of treatment-related grade 3-5 adverse events, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.02 Years
Quality of LifeLung Cancer Patients: FACT-Lung and EQ-5D Head and Neck Patients: EORTC QLQ-C30 and the EORTC QLQ-H&N35 Pancreas Patients: Quality of Life assessment using Patient Reported Outcomes2 years
