Background Analysis of Data to Advance Personalised Therapy with MR-Linac (ADAPT-MRL) is a multi-site, multinational, observational cohort registry designed to collect data on the use of the magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MR-Linac) for radiation therapy and patient outcomes. The registry will provide a linked repository of technical and clinical data that will form a platform for prospective studies and technology assessment. Methods Design: This registry aims to include an estimated 10,000 eligible participants across Australia and other countries over a 7- to 10-year period. Participants will undergo treatment and assessments in accordance with standard practice. Toxicity and survival outcomes will be assessed at baseline, during treatment, and with 3 monthly follow-up until 24 months, patient reported outcome measures will also be collected. Participants with a variety of cancers will be included. Discussion Data obtained from the ADAPT-MRL registry is expected to provide evidence on the safety and efficacy of the MR-Linac, a new technical innovation in radiation oncology. We expect this registry will generate data that will be used to optimise treatment techniques, MR-Linac software algorithms, evaluate participants’ outcomes and toxicities and to create a repository of adapted plans, anatomical and functional MR sequences linked to participants’ outcomes.
