This is a prospective, single-arm, pilot feasibility clinical trial designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a simulation-free adaptive radiotherapy workflow to enable single-session celiac plexus SBRT planning and delivery. In this trial, the treatment itself is non-investigational (standard-of-care celiac plexus SBRT) but the treatment workflow (simulation-free, using adaptive radiotherapy to compress treatment planning and delivery into a single session) is novel. Investigators hypothesize the successful completion of the simulation-free ART workflow through treatment delivery in the first on-table treatment attempt for at least 80% of patients.
A standard treatment for pain caused by cancer affecting the celiac plexus (a group of nerves in the upper abdomen behind the stomach and pancreas) is a type of radiation therapy called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). In the usual process for this type of radiation treatment, the patient would first have a special radiation planning scan called a computer tomography simulation (CTsim) to create a personalized treatment plan. The planning process usually takes 5 to 10 days, which means treatment may begin up to 2 weeks after the initial CTsim scan. Recent technology has allowed for treatment to be planned without a separate CTsim scan, called a CTsim-free workflow. In this study, investigators will use pre-existing scans (such as diagnostic imaging) to create the patient's treatment plan. On the day of treatment, the care team will use a technique called Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART) to adjust the plan based on the patient body's position and anatomy that day, allowing planning and treatment to happen in a single visit.

| Treatment plan | Other | Simulation-free radiation treatment planning, in which pre-existing diagnostic images are used to generate a radiation treatment pre-plan (as opposed to acquiring planning-specific image sets). This will be paired with the use of online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) to refine the pre-plan to create a final plan that matches the on-table internal target and gastrointestinal anatomy observed with on-board imaging on the day of treatment. This enables single-session celiac plexus SBRT planning and delivery. |

| Successful treatment plan workflow of 80% of patients | The feasibility and safety of the simulation-free adaptive radiotherapy workflow for celiac plexus SBRT for clinical use. Feasibility defined as the successful completion of the simulation-free ART workflow through treatment delivery in the first on-table treatment attempt for at least 80% of patients. All of the following criteria must be met to be deemed feasible:
| 1 year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Component time | Average time required for each component of the simulation-free ART workflow, including but not limited to plan generation using diagnostic imaging, pre-treatment activities (e.g., on-table patient setup/imaging, dose prediction, segmentation of daily contours, plan optimization and evaluation), and treatment delivery. | 1 year |

| Dosimetric comparison of radiation plans | Dosimetric comparison of radiation plans created on traditional offline CBCT images with those created using the simulation-free ART workflow (i.e., comparison of target coverage, sparing of organs-at-risk). | 1 year |
| Frequency of online re-adaptation | Frequency of online re-adaptation within the sim-free workflow. Readaptation defined as the need to regenerate a treatment plan after an initial plan had been generated that does not satisfy treatment parameters. | 1 Year |
| Patient satisfaction | Overall patient satisfaction with celiac plexus SBRT using a simulation-free, adaptive radiotherapy workflow. This will be assessed using the Radiotherapy Experience Questionnaire (RTEQ) which is a validated RT experience questionnaire that reports patient experiences with the overall treatment process by answering statements on a scale of strongly agree to strongly disagree. Given that this is a novel workflow/process, the results of the questionnaire will shed light on their overall experience. | 1 year |
| Change in the Brief Pain Inventory pain scale | Change in Brief Pain Inventory pain scale, where on a scale 0 is "No Pain" and 10 is "Pain as bad as you can imagine", recorded in the pain diary, 6 weeks after sim-free celiac plexus SBRT. | 6 Weeks |
| Change in Amount of Pain Medication | Change in the amount of pain medications (Morphine equivalents) use 6 weeks after sim-free celiac plexus SBRT, recorded in the pain diary. Patients will record number of medication units taken (unit of medication is a tablet or capsule, a millilitre (mL) of liquid, a suppository, or a patch). | 6 weeks |
| TCAE Grade 3+ Toxicity | Any CTCAE Grade 3+ Toxicity at 6 weeks related to the SBRT treatment. | 6 weeks |
