Radiation therapy for hard-to-reach lung tumors using a special MRI machine
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation therapy for lung tumors that are very close to the windpipe or heart. It uses a special machine that combines radiation with MRI to see the tumor clearly during treatment, which may help target it better and reduce damage to healthy tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a lung tumor that is either early-stage or has spread to lymph nodes near the windpipe, and it's not suitable for surgery.
- The tumor is within 1 cm of your windpipe, main airways, or heart.
- You are generally able to care for yourself (performance status 2 or less).
- You have not had radiation to the same area before.
- You are willing to use birth control if you are of childbearing age.
- You have no metal implants or severe claustrophobia that would prevent an MRI.

This trial tests a new type of radiotherapy that uses MRI scans to guide the radiation beam more precisely. It aims to treat tumors while reducing damage to healthy tissue.
This trial tests a specialized radiation therapy that uses daily MRI scans to precisely target lung tumors located near the windpipe or esophagus. It aims to improve treatment accuracy while reducing side effects.
This trial checks whether it’s practical and safe to deliver radiation treatment using real-time MRI guidance, with the process supported online. It may help patients whose doctors recommend radiation by testing a modern way to plan and deliver treatment more precisely.
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy for advanced lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It uses MRI scans to guide and adjust the radiation dose, which may help target the tumor more precisely and reduce side effects.
This study tests a precise, targeted radiation technique for people with lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to treat these brain tumors effectively while limiting harm to healthy tissue, which may help control the cancer and maintain quality of life.
This study tests a type of high-precision radiation guided by MRI pictures to treat certain cancers. It may help doctors deliver radiation more accurately while avoiding nearby healthy tissue, but you must be able to safely complete an MRI scan and meet tumor-size and health requirements.
