Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) for Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia - a Phase I/II Study

Single arm, phase Ib/2a dose escalation study with an expansion cohort to determine the
maximal tolerated dose (MTD) for stereotactic ablative radiotherapy of targets in the cardiac
myocardium and to make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of the treatment. The dose
escalation will be guided by Time-to-Event Continual Reassessment Method (TITE-CRM) to ensure
more patients will be spared dose limiting toxicities and more patients will be entered on
the dose level that will be chosen as minimal dose of maximal effect. This design also allows
for continual accrual of patients when delayed adverse events may be observed.
