Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find out if giving intravenous (IV) contrast (a liquid that helps with the visibility of organs and blood vessels that is given through the vein with the use of a hollow needle) during a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT- a type of computerized X-ray) can help people who have image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) for the treatment of abdominal and pelvic tumors.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pelvic Cancer Abdominal Cancer Drug: Omnipaque 300mg/mL Solution for Injection Radiation: Cone Beam CT Radiation: Radiation Therapy Drug: 0.9% Saline Early Phase 1

Detailed Description:

The goal of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility and utility of administering IV contrast during a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in subjects who have image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) for the treatment of abdominal and pelvic tumors. Participant duration is one visit.

Subjects will be required to fast for at least 2 hours prior to study procedures, as determined by the treating physician based on the site to be irradiated. An 18- to 22-gauge peripheral IV will be placed in the subject's arm prior to being brought to clinical treatment room. The patient will be placed in position for radiotherapy as per standard of care and will be connected to IV contrast injector. Standard of care IGRT techniques will be performed to confirm correct positioning. Iodinated IV contrast will be administered and the contrast enhance cone beam CT will be initiated. Treatment will then be administered with the patient in the position determined by non-contrast cone beam CT, as per standard of care. Immediately after completion of treatment of the subject, the study physician will complete physician survey of attitude about the utility of contrast-enhanced cone beam CT.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Contrast Enhanced Cone Beam CT
60 seconds after the start of the administration of IV contrast, cone beam CT will be initiated.
Drug: Omnipaque 300mg/mL Solution for Injection
Prior to the contrast enhanced Cone Beam CT, 100mL of Omnipaque will be administered by IV at a rate of 2mL per second, followed by administration of 50mL of 0.9% saline.
Other Name: Iohexol

Radiation: Cone Beam CT
60 seconds after contrast administration, a Cone Beam CT will be performed.

Radiation: Radiation Therapy
Standard of Care Radiation Therapy will be administered, dosage depends on the type of tumor being treated.

Drug: 0.9% Saline
50 ML of 0.9% Saline will be administered immediately after Omnipaque administration
Other Name: Saline Solution




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Physician Survey of attitude about the utility of contrast-enhanced cone beam CT [ Time Frame: Up to 18 Months ]
    The Radiation Oncologist treating physician will complete a physician survey using a Likert scale regarding attitude about the utility of contrast enhanced cone beam CT.

  2. Blinded Match between contrast and non-contrast enhanced CBCT [ Time Frame: Up to 18 Months ]
    After completion of study procedures of all enrolled subjects, images from both contrast-enhanced and non-contrast cone beam CT will undergo blinded matching by two additional study physicians. The magnitude of proposed shifts (measured in millimeters in x-, y- and z- axes) for each cone beam CT will be recorded and interrater reliability will be assessed for concordance.
