The MOMENTUM Study: Evaluating MR-Linac Radiation Therapy

The MOMENTUM Study is looking at how well a type of radiation therapy called MR-Linac works for people with various cancers, including breast, prostate, gynecologic, and brain tumors. This study aims to understand if MR-Linac, which uses MRI guidance for precise radiation delivery, can improve survival, tumor control, and quality of life. Researchers will track how long patients live without their cancer getting worse (progression-free survival) at 3, 6, and 24 months after treatment. You can join if you are 18 or older and are receiving or have received radiation therapy using the MR-Linac, as long as you don't have any MRI contraindications like certain metal implants or pregnancy. The study plans to enroll 8000 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information from participants who are already receiving MR-Linac radiation therapy. It is a multi-institutional, international study with a planned enrollment of 8000 participants.
What's involved
You would need to provide written, informed consent. The study will collect data from your MR-Linac imaging or treatment procedures.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Researchers will follow participants to measure progression-free survival at 3, 6, and 24 months after MR-Linac treatment.

  • Patient reported Health related quality of life (HRQoL).3 months after treatment.

    Patient reported health related quality of life is captured through a questionnaire the Generic European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30. They include 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive and social), three symptom scales, a global health scale, and six single items. All of these scales and items measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high score on functional or global health status scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning. A high score for a symptom scale represents a high level of symptomatology.

  • Patient reported Health related quality of life (HRQoL).3 months after treatment.

    Generic patient reported quality of life is captured by The EuroQol (EQ)-5D-5L questionnaire. This includes a descriptive system questionnaire and visual analogue scale (VAS). The descriptive system scores five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) from 1 to 5 where 1 means having no problems, and 5 means extreme problems or unable to participate. The digits can be combined in a 5-digit code to describe the overall health status. For example, 12111. The VAS records the overall current health on a vertical visual analogue scale from 0 to 100, respectively 'the worst health you can imagine' to 'the best health you can imagine'.
