Feasibility of CBCT-Guided Online Adaptive Radiotherapy (FASCINATE)
A study testing online CBCT-guided adaptive radiation therapy using a new software in people with Prostate Cancer and Cervical Cancer, run by The Netherlands Cancer Institute at 1 site in Netherlands.
Trial summary
The accuracy of radiotherapy can be increased by correcting for geometric uncertainties and changes between radiotherapy fractions. These corrections are currently done with online adaptive treatment on a specialized linear accelerator (linac) for a small subset of patients. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: FASCINATE: FeASibility of Cbct-guIded oNline Adaptive radioThErapy
The accuracy of radiotherapy can be increased by correcting for geometric uncertainties and changes between radiotherapy fractions. These corrections are currently done with online adaptive treatment on a specialized linear accelerator (linac) for a small subset of patients. However, patients currently treated on a standard linac could also benefit from online adaptive radiotherapy. The objective is to determine the feasibility of online CBCT-guided adaptive radiation therapy on a standard Elekta linac.

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
online CBCT-guided adaptive radiation therapy using a new softwareDevice
Patients are treated in the NKI with CBCT-guided online adaptive radiotherapy. While in the clinical workflow one planning CT is used to make the radiotherapy plan, this study treatment creates a new radiotherapy plan on the day of every treatment fraction. Instead of directly irradiating, the radiotherapy plan is adjusted to the anatomy of the day.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Adapt to rotation for prostate and elective lymph node irradiation | Experimental | The CBCT will be matched (translated and rotated) to the original planning CT with the clinical image registration software. A new software (the rotation simulator) reads both the match of the bony anatomy and the match of the prostate. This software also imports the original planning CT and structures and deforms the original planning CT to match the rotations and translations of pelvis and prostate, as seen in the CBCT. Both these new radiotherapy planning structures and the deformed planning CT are exported to the radiotherapy planning software (Monaco) and used to calculate the adaptive plan. This newly calculated plan will be exported to Mosaiq to treat the patient. Receives: Device: online CBCT-guided adaptive radiation therapy using a new software |
| CBCT-guided online adaptation for cervical cancer and elective lymph node irradiation | Experimental | The CBCT will be matched (translated and rotated) to the original planning CT with the clinical image registration software. With in-house software, the target areas and the OARs will be deformed to or segmented on the anatomy of the CBCT. These adjusted radiotherapy structures are then send to the radiotherapy planning software (Monaco). There, the structures are visually inspected and, if needed, manually adjusted. Afterwards, Monaco calculates a new, online adaptive radiotherapy plan. After checking, the plan is exported to Mosaiq to treat the patient.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing online CBCT-guided adaptive radiation therapy using a new software in people with Prostate Cancer and Cervical Cancer, run by The Netherlands Cancer Institute at 1 site in Netherlands.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Evelien Schouten, MSc (+31205129140, ev.schouten@nki.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Feasibility: successful application of the online adaptive treatment in 90% of 20 patients (time frame: From first fraction until the last fraction, an average of 20-35 fractions). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
