Testing a radiation treatment decision system during COVID-19 changes
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a computer system can help guide high-intensity radiation treatment decisions when care has been disrupted during COVID-19. It may help improve how treatment is planned and adjusted during times when patients’ situations change.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You started outpatient radiation treatment at Duke Cancer Center during the COVID-19 outbreak
- Your radiation treatment may be with or without other (systemic) cancer drugs at the same time
- You are not receiving total body radiation therapy for stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant)
- You are not in the hospital as an inpatient for this part of treatment
- Your radiation treatment has not already been finished before the system starts its algorithm

This study tests how well new computer methods (called algorithms and machine learning) can support radiation therapy decisions. You might benefit by helping improve how radiation is planned and checked, especially for cancers treated with curative-intent therapy.
This study tests whether a digital rehabilitation program can help people with cancer during or after chemotherapy or immunotherapy. The goal is to see if it's easy to use and helpful for recovery.
This trial tests whether using a smartphone app to report symptoms helps patients feel better and manage side effects during cancer treatment. If you have cancer at any stage and are on systemic therapy, you may be able to join.
This study tests if regularly answering health questions on a smartphone can help doctors better support patients during and after radiation treatment. You will use an app to report how you are feeling, and your care team may use this information to adjust your care.
This study tests a new way for radiation doctors and radiologists to share treatment plans. It aims to improve how radiation targets are chosen for patients with lung or head and neck cancer. Participants will receive their usual radiation treatment while doctors follow the new sharing method.
This study tests a telehealth program to help caregivers manage distress and financial stress while caring for someone receiving a special surgery (CS+HIPEC). It aims to see if the program improves caregivers' well-being.
