Credentialing Requirements for Select RTOG Protocols
Including 0234, 0435, 0521, and 0848

The Dry Run test for these studies is simply a test of digital data submission capabilities.
The treatment planning system to be used to plan patients on this study,
whether it be using IMRT or 3DCRT, should be used for this digital data submission test.
The test should use data for a patient or phantom that has received the same modality
(IMRT or 3DCRT) for which you are attempting to become credentialed.
If you have performed a phantom experiment the submission of the phantom treatment
planning data to the ITC may suffice as your dry run test.
Please contact Bill Straube at the ITC to determine if your phantom submission is
sufficient for a test of digital data submission.
The first protocol case you submit will be reviewed by the study chair(s) in a timely fashion and feedback concerning the review will be communicated to your institution. We ask that no subsequent patients be registered on the study by your institution until you have received this feedback. If there are major problems with the first case, the second case may be subject to a timely review as well. Additional credentialing is required only if you plan to use IMRT on these protocols. Institutions credentialed on a previous IMRT study (RTOG 0126 using IMRT, RTOG 0022, or RTOG 0225) are eligible to participate in these protocols using IMRT without further credentialing. Institutions not previously credentialed for an IMRT protocol and wishing to participate in either of these protocols using IMRT must satisfy the following requirements:
