Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (21+) with thoracic or upper abdominal SBRT targets, ECOG 0-1, planned on conventional breath-held SBRT.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose cancer location, motion, or condition prevents successful breath-hold SBRT may not benefit from NGDS.

What this trial studies
This prospective, multi-center study evaluates the Next Generation Delivery System (NGDS) as a breath-hold workflow for delivering stereotactic body radiotherapy. Participants will have SBRT planned with breath hold on a conventional accelerator and will undergo a mock treatment on NGDS to gather setup and alignment images. The trial aims to determine if NGDS can shorten treatment times and improve patient tolerance with less need for breath holding. ENROLLED participants will be adults with thoracic or upper abdominal targets and good performance status undergoing SBRT as part of routine care. The study is conducted at Siteman Cancer Center and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center under Varian as lead sponsor.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, NGDS could enable faster, more tolerable SBRT treatments for patients with thoracic or upper abdominal cancers.
How similar studies have gone: Previous SBRT workflows with breath-hold optimization show feasibility; this study tests a novel NGDS platform in this context.
