Proton and Proton-Photon Hybrid Partial Stereotactic Ablative Boost Radiotherapy (P-SABR) for Unresectable Large Tumors
Sponsor: Peking University First Hospital
Summary
This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study will enroll 60 adults with unresectable larege tumors (longest diameter \> 5 cm) who receive one of two treatment modes: (A) proton P-SABR, in which both the proton partial-SABR boost (course 1) and the subsequent proton CFRT (course 2) are delivered at the proton center; or (B) proton-photon hybrid P-SABR, in which course 1 is delivered with protons at the proton center and course 2 CFRT is delivered with photons. The primary objective is to describe, in each cohort, the incidence of treatment-related grade ≥ 3 acute and late adverse events (CTCAE v5.0). Secondary objectives are dosimetric and the 1-year local control rate (RECIST 1.1, in-field). Participants are followed for up to 5 years.

Interventions
Proton P-SABR
Course 1 (proton partial-SABR boost, IMPT): CTV 1.8-3 Gy per fraction with a simultaneous boost to the boost volume within the GTV (GTVb) of 8 Gy × 3 fractions; in larger tumors the inner GTVb (GTVb shrunk by 1 cm) is further boosted to 12 Gy × 3 fractions; critical organs at risk \< 3 Gy per fraction; robust optimization on the CTV. Course 2 (proton CFRT): CTV 1.8-3 Gy per fraction with robust optimization, to a cumulative PTV dose of 60-70 Gy on the summed plan, with GTVb BED10 ≥ 100 Gy. Proton dose is expressed with a constant RBE of 1.1. Both courses are delivered at Hebei Yizhou Cancer Hospital.
Proton-Photon Hybrid P-SABR
Course 1 identical to Cohort A: proton partial-SABR boost (IMPT) with GTVb 8 Gy × 3 fractions and inner GTVb 12 Gy × 3 fractions, delivered at Hebei Yizhou Cancer Hospital. Course 2 (photon CFRT): IMRT/VMAT with daily CBCT recommended, PTV 1.8-3 Gy per fraction to a cumulative PTV dose of 60-70 Gy on the summed plan, with GTVb BED10 ≥ 100 Gy, delivered at Hebei Yizhou Cancer Hospital (same-center) or at Peking University First Hospital or a photon sub-center (cross-center). For cross-center participants, DICOM-RT structure, plan and dose files of both courses are reviewed by the central radiotherapy QA committee, which performs deformable registration and dose summation (MIM; proton RBE = 1.1) before course 2 starts. Target interval between courses ≤ 3 working days (maximum 7 working days).
