Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Participant is not able to tolerate supine position on PET/CT bed for the duration of
the PET/CT acquisitions, is not cooperative, or needs continuous nursing (e.g. patient
from Intensive Care Unit) or is unable to attend full course of follow up visits

- Pregnancy or Breast-feeding

- If history of a prior extra thoracic invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin
cancer) must be free from recurrence for a minimum of 3 years at the time of
registration

- Prior radiotherapy to the lungs or mediastinum (a history of prior breast radiotherapy
is not an exclusion)

- Prior known history of interstitial lung disease * A history of renal impairment or
reaction to iodine contrast is not an exclusion criteria, if a patient has medical
comorbidities that exclude the use of iodine contrasts, these exploratory
investigations can be omitted.

Summary
Brief summary
This study is being performed to assess the feasibility of adapting radiotherapy plans based
on functional lung information and increasing the dose to the primary tumour. This is a
single arm interventional pilot study involving 20 patients.

Aims Primary: to assess the feasibility of using ventilation and perfusion positron emission
computed tomography (V/Q PET/CT) scans to adapt radiotherapy plans using Volumetric Modulated
Arc Therapy (VMAT) to avoid regions of functional lung and deliver a higher dose to the
primary tumour Secondary: to assess the incidence of acute and late radiotherapy toxicities,
to quantify regional ventilation loss and regional perfusion loss on post treatment V/Q
PET/CT, to assess associations of V/Q PET/CT with other functional lung imaging techniques,
to assess overall survival, progression free survival and quality of life outcomes.

Participants: 20 patients stage IIIa-c non-small cell lung cancer for curative intent
radiotherapy.

Methods: All patients will receive functional lung adapted 60 Gray (Gy) in 30 fractions to
the primary and nodal planning target volume with a simultaneous integrated boost to the
primary tumour to a total dose 69Gy in 30 fractions.

Expected outcomes: That functionally adapted lung radiotherapy using V/Q PET/CT imaging and
VMAT planning is technically feasible.
