Adaptive MR-guided pelvic radiation for endometrial cancer
Official title: Adaptive Daily MR-Guided Adjuvant Pelvic Therapy-Endometrial Cancer: A Phase I/II Feasibility Study
Run by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey · NCT07643012 · Data updated 2026-11-12
We’re testing a shorter, 15-session MR-guided pelvic radiation treatment to see if it is safe and tolerable for endometrial cancer patients needing adjuvant therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed endometrial cancer requiring adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy and meeting high-risk criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with prior pelvic radiotherapy or contraindications to pelvic radiotherapy may not benefit from this approach.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This trial uses MR-guided adaptive pelvic IMRT to deliver a 15-fraction course of radiation for endometrial cancer. Imaging at each treatment day allows the dose to be adjusted to the current anatomy. The study aims to determine safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy while potentially reducing treatment time and side effects. Participants will undergo daily, image-guided radiation with on-the-spot planning adjustments. This approach is investigational and may not become standard care unless benefits are demonstrated.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could shorten treatment time and reduce side effects while effectively targeting cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Similar MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy approaches have shown promise in other pelvic cancers, but this exact regimen is investigational for endometrial cancer.
