StereoTactic Ablative RadioTherapy of Cardiac Arrhythmias (NCT04843683)
StereoTactic Ablative RadioTherapy of Cardiac Arrhythmias (START-CA): a Phase II Trial of Non-Invasive Treatment of Medically Refractory Patients
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a prospective, single-center, phase II trial that will be monitoring the safety and efficacy of using stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SBRT) to treat patients with a medical condition affecting heart rate and rhythm (refractory arrhythmias) within the University Health Network (Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Toronto General Hospital). The primary objective will be to prospectively monitor patient cardiac outcomes following SBRT.
