This phase II trial tests the effectiveness and safety of artificial intelligence (AI) to determine dose recommendation during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) planning in patients with primary lung cancer or tumors that has spread from another primary site to the lung (metastatic). SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Even with the high precision of SBRT, disease persistence or reappearance (local recurrence) can still occur, which could be attributed to the radiation dose. AI has been used in other areas of healthcare to automate and improve various aspects of medical science. Because the relationship of dose and local recurrence indicates that dose prescriptions matter, decision support systems to help guide dose based on personalized prediction AI algorithms could better assist providers in prescribing the radiation dose of lung stereotactic body radiation therapy treatment.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy (reduction in local failure free survival) in patients receiving SBRT to the lung with personalized artificial intelligence dose guidance (Deep Profiler + iGray). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate progression free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v.) 1.1 in patients receiving individualized radiation doses to the lung as recommended by Deep Profiler + iGray. II. To evaluate respiratory function per the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) Pulmonary Function Scale. III. To assess toxicity per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 5.0 in patients receiving individualized radiation doses to the lung as recommended by Deep Profiler + iGray. IV. To evaluate the feasibility, defined as 85% receiving within 10% of the projected dose, of implementing the individualized radiation doses recommended by machine learning software (Deep Profiler + iGray) in a clinical practice. OUTLINE: Patients undergo radiation planning with AI-directed analysis for dose recommendations with Deep Profiler + iGray software on study. Patients then undergo SBRT on study. Patients also undergo positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and/or x-ray imaging during screening and follow-up.

RECRUITINGLocal failure free survival (LFS)
LFS is defined as the length of time after SBRT that the patient survives without local failure (as assessed by tumor imaging).
Time frame: Assessed at 2 years
LFS
LFS data will be collected from the end of SBRT, until the patient experiences recurrence, completes the 5-year follow-up after SBRT, or experiences death from any cause (whichever is sooner).
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Progression-free survival (PFS)
For PFS analysis, disease progression is defined as progressive disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1.
Time frame: Assessed at 2 years
Respiratory function
To assess the respiratory toxicity of SBRT doses as recommended by Deep Profiler +iGray, this endpoint will collect and report the frequency of adverse events by type, severity (grade), timing, and attribution, according the RTOG Pulmonary Function Test Toxicity Scale.
Time frame: Up to 30 days
Incidence of adverse events
To assess the Toxicity Profile of SBRT fractions as recommended by Deep Profiler +iGray, this endpoint will collect and report the frequency of adverse events by type, severity (grade), timing, and attribution, according the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
Time frame: Up to 30 days
Dose recommended
To evaluate if individualized radiation doses recommended by machine learning software (Deep Profiler +iGray) can be implemented in a clinical practice (feasibility), we will assess the adherence of the prescribing physician to the dose recommended by the Deep Profiler +iGray during the 1-2 week period of SBRT. The adherence to the dose recommended by the Deep Profiler +iGray will be reported.
Time frame: During the 1-2 weeks period of SBRT
