SCINTIX [BgRT} Using RMRS in Solid and Soft Tissue Tumors
96 participantsStarted 2025-12-01
Plain-language summary
This study proposes 6 anatomic groupings which each can be defined similarly as the "head and neck" grouping above. These 6 groupings are: (1) Head and Neck, (2) Thoracic not including lung parenchymal, (3) Hepatobiliary and other non-hepatobiliary abdominal tumors, (4) Retroperitoneal, (5) Pelvic, and (6) Distributed or orphan. The study is designed to gather essential imaging data on the RefleXion Medical Radiotherapy System (RMRS) to validate the accuracy of FDG-directed BgRT, also known as SCINTIX therapy, in various anatomical groupings. Study subjects will go through the entire SCINTIX treatment workflow, including radiopharmaceutical administration and live PET imaging, but without turning on the treatment beam. Collected data will be used offline to generate the set of machine instructions that would have been used during treatment delivery to calculate the "emulated" BgRT dose distribution, i.e., what the delivered dose would have been had the treatment beam been turned on during the session. The 6th category ("Distributed or orphan") is meant to capture tumor types that can manifest across anatomies and/or for which utilization of stereotactic radiotherapy for treatment is relatively rare, with lymphomas being a prototypical example.

Inclusion criteria
. Age greater than 21 years.
. A new or prior diagnosis of biopsy-proven cancer.
. At least one active non-osseous primary or metastatic tumor that is located in one of the assigned anatomical groupings and dispositioned to undergo 3-5 fractions of SBRT. A lesion is considered active if viable malignancy is confirmed either by biopsy or by diagnostic imaging (as interpreted by the multidisciplinary care team).
. Target tumor size ≥2cm and ≤5cm.
. Target tumor is discrete and assessed by investigator to meet diagnostic PET screening criteria for BgRT candidacy:
. SUVmax≥6, as assessed on diagnostic PET/CT performed within 60 days of enrollment with no new intervening oncologic therapies.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Emulated BgRT Delivery accuracy
Timeframe: Assessed for each emulated delivery through study completion, an average of 2 years
. Ratio of target tumor SUVmax to SUVmean of local background region (defined as a 3 mm shell 1.5 cm from the target tumor) is greater than 6, as assessed on diagnostic PET/CT performed within 60 days of enrollment with no new intervening oncologic therapies.
. ECOG Performance Status 0-3.
Exclusion criteria
. Clinically significant blood glucose abnormalities that preclude a satisfactory FDG PET/CT scan.
. Lung parenchymal and bone target tumors
. At the physician's discretion regarding expected target motion, FDG-avid structures not intended for radiation are within:
. 3 cm from target on diagnostic PET/CT in directions where limited target motion is expected
. 4 cm from target on diagnostic PET/CT in directions where sizable target motion is expected
. Known allergy to FDG.
. Known psychiatric or substance abuse disorder that would interfere with conduct of the study.
. Pregnant, breast-feeding or expecting to conceive during the study.
