IntroductionPatients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who are unfit and unsuitable for standard radical treatment with cystectomy or daily radiotherapy present a large unmet clinical need. Untreated, they suffer high cancer specific mortality and risk significant disease-related local symptoms. Hypofractionated radiotherapy (delivering higher doses in fewer fractions/visits) is a potential treatment solution but could be compromised by the mobile nature of the bladder, resulting in target misses in a significant proportion of fractions. Adaptive ‘plan of the day’ image-guided radiotherapy delivery may improve the precision and accuracy of treatment. We aim to demonstrate within a randomised multicentre phase II trial feasibility of plan of the day hypofractionated bladder radiotherapy delivery with acceptable rates of toxicity.Methods and analysisPatients with T2-T4aN0M0 MIBC receiving 36 Gy in 6-weekly fractions are randomised (1:1) between treatment delivered using a single-standard plan or adaptive radiotherapy using a library of three plans (small, medium and large). A cone beam CT taken prior to each treatment is used to visualise the anatomy and select the most appropriate plan depending on the bladder shape and size. A comprehensive radiotherapy quality assurance programme has been instituted to ensure standardisation of radiotherapy planning and delivery. The primary endpoint is to exclude >30% acute grade >3 non-genitourinary toxicity at 3 months for adaptive radiotherapy in patients who received >1 fraction (p0=0.7, p1=0.9, α=0.05, β=0.2). Secondary endpoints include local disease control, symptom control, late toxicity, overall survival, patient-reported outcomes and proportion of fractions benefiting from adaptive planning. Target recruitment is 62 patients.Ethics and disseminationThe trial is approved by the London-Surrey Borders Research Ethics Committee (13/LO/1350). The results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed scientific journals, conference presentations and submission to regulatory authorities.Trial registration numberNCT01810757.

Aims: Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) is an emerging advanced treatment option for bladder cancer patients. Therapeutic radiographers (RTTs) are central to the successful delivery of this treatment. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and ART experience of RTTs before participating in the RAIDER trial. A plan of the day (PoD) quality assurance programme was then implemented. Finally, the post-trial experience of RTTs was evaluated, together with the impact of trial quality assurance participation on their routine practice. Materials and methods: A pre-trial questionnaire to assess the experience of the RTT staff group in IGRT and ART in bladder cancer was sent to each centre. Responses were grouped according to experience. The PoD quality assurance programme was implemented, and the RAIDER trial commenced. During stage 1 of the trial, RTTs reported difficulties in delivering PoD and the quality assurance programme was updated accordingly. A follow-up questionnaire was sent assessing experience in IGRT and ART post-trial. Any changes in routine practice were also recorded. Results: The experience of RTTs in IGRT and ART pre-trial varied. For centres deemed to have RTTs with more experience, the initial PoD quality assurance programme was streamlined. For RTTs without ART experience, the full quality assurance programme was implemented, of which 508 RTTs completed. The quality assurance programme was updated (as the trial recruited) and it was mandated that at least one representative RTT (regardless of pre-trial experience) participated in the update in real-time. The purpose of the updated quality assurance programme was to provide further support to RTTs in delivering a complex treatment. Engagement with the updated quality assurance programme was high, with RTTs in 24/33 centres participating in the real-time online workshop. All 33 UK centres reported all RTTs reviewed the updated training offline. Post-trial, the RTTs' experience in IGRT and ART was increased. Conclusion: Overall, 508 RTTs undertook the PoD quality assurance programme. There was a high engagement of RTTs in the PoD quality assurance programme and trial. RTTs increased their experience in IGRT and ART and subsequently updated their practice for bladder cancer and other treatment sites.

a b s t r a c tBackground and purpose: Hypofractionated bladder RT with or without image guided adaptive planning (HYBRID) is a multicentre clinical trial investigating ''Plan of the Day" (PoD) adaptive radiotherapy for bladder cancer. To ensure correct PoD selection a pre-accrual guidance and assessment module was developed as part of an image guided radiotherapy quality assurance (IGRT QA) credentialing programme. This study aimed to evaluate its feasibility and effectiveness across multiple recruiting centres. Materials and methods: Individuals from participating centres remotely accessed an image database in order to complete the PoD module. An assessment score of 83% was required in order to receive QA approval. A questionnaire was used to gather user feedback on the module. PoD decisions for the first patient at each recruiting centre were retrospectively reviewed for protocol adherence. Results: 71 radiation therapists (RTTs) from 10 centres completed the PoD module. The median assessment score was 92% (Range: 58-100%) with 79% of RTTs passing the assessment on first attempt. All questionnaire respondents reported that the PoD module prepared them for plan selection. In 51/60 of on-trial treatments reviewed, the PoD selected by the centre agreed with QA reviewers. Conclusions: The PoD QA module was successfully implemented in a multicentre trial and enabled preaccrual assessment of protocol understanding. This increased operator confidence and resulted in appropriate PoD selection on-trial. Crown

Deidentified individual participant data, together with a data dictionary defining each field in the set, will be made available to other researchers on request. The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) Clinical Trials and Statistics Unit (CTSU) supports wider dissemination of information from the research it conducts and increased cooperation between investigators. Trial data are obtained, managed, stored, shared, and archived according to ICR-CTSU standard operating procedures to ensure the enduring quality, integrity and utility of the data. Formal requests for data sharing are considered in line with ICR-CTSU procedures, with due regard given to funder and sponsor guidelines. Requests are via a standard proforma describing the nature of the proposed research and extent of data requirements. Data recipients are required to enter a formal data sharing agreement, which describes the conditions for release and requirements for data transfer, storage, archiving, publication, and Intellectual Property. Requests are reviewed by the Trial Management Group (TMG) in terms of scientific merit and ethical considerations, including patients' consent. Data sharing is undertaken if proposed projects have a sound scientific or patients' benefit rationale, as agreed by the TMG and approved by the Independent Data Monitoring and Steering Committee, as required. Restrictions relating to patients' confidentiality and consent will be limited by aggregating and anonymizing identifiable patients' data. Additionally, all indirect identifiers that could lead to deductive disclosures will be removed in line with Cancer Research UK data sharing guidelines.
