Patient Position Monitoring System for Radiation Therapy
This study is looking at a new way to make radiation therapy more precise for people with cancers in the chest or upper abdomen. It's testing a device called the Patient Position Monitoring System, which uses a special sensor pad to track your breathing and movement during radiation. This helps ensure the radiation targets the tumor accurately, especially since breathing can cause these areas to move. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, need radiation therapy for a chest or upper abdominal cancer, and your doctor believes motion management is necessary. The main goal is to see how often the system successfully helps deliver radiation treatment. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study planning to enroll 20 participants. It is not specified if it's randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You will use the Patient Position Monitoring System during your standard radiation therapy and CT simulation. This will last for about one month.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study measures feasibility from enrollment to the completion of radiation therapy, which is estimated to be one month.

What this trial measures
- Feasibility of eMotus system as defined by frequency of successfully delivered treatment fractionEnrollment to completion of radiation therapy (estimated total time is 1 month)
The feasibility of the eMotus fiber optic motion sensor system will be measured as the frequency of scheduled treatment fractions delivered successfully using eMotus. Success is defined as delivery of a treatment fraction in one on-table attempt without requiring the use of a secondary (backup) motion management system. Unsuccessful delivery of a treatment fraction will be defined as more than one attempt for gating without reproducible positioning, breath-hold, or surface guidance feedback such that the treatment could not be delivered with eMotus. Descriptive statistics will be collected and reported to determine the proportion of successful motion monitoring events.
