New trial: can targeted radiation boost survival in patients with up to 10 metastases?

NCT ID NCT05717166

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase III trial tests whether adding stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) to standard treatment (chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or palliative radiation) improves survival in adults with 1 to 10 metastatic tumors and an active primary cancer. About 180 participants will be randomly assigned to standard care alone or standard care plus SABR. The study aims to see if this approach extends life and preserves quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that adding precise, high-dose radiation to standard treatment helps people with limited metastatic cancer live longer and maintain quality of life.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively early phase III trial with 180 participants, so results may not apply to all cancer types. SABR can cause side effects like fatigue or damage to nearby organs, and it may not improve survival.
