New radiation technique aims to hit harder, harm less in metastatic cancer
NCT ID NCT05880667
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase I trial tests adaptive stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) for people with cancer that has spread to the abdomen or pelvis. The goal is to safely deliver higher radiation doses to tumors while keeping severe side effects under 10%. Thirty participants will receive this tailored radiation approach to see if it is both feasible and tolerable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Adaptive stereotactic body radiation (SBRT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could allow safer, more effective radiation treatment for hard-to-treat metastatic tumors in the abdomen or pelvis.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase I trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The main risk is severe side effects from higher radiation doses.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects must have histologically or cytologically confirmed cancer that is metastatic (all solid tumor types accepted), with at least one target lesion untreated by radiation, IR techniques, or growing in the abdomen or pelvis. Adjacent lymph nodes in the same region (5 cm or closer) constitute one active lesion. Target lesion must be measurable according to RECIST v 1.1. Previous systemic therapies are allowed. 2. Age \> 18 years. 3. ECOG performance status 0 or 1 4. Estimated survival of \>/= 12 months 5. Subjects must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below * Absolute neutrophil count \> 1,500/mcL * Platelets \> 100,000/mcL * Total bilirubin \< 2 mg/dL * AST/ALT (SGOT/SGPT) \< 5X ULN * Creatinine \< 1.5X ULN OR * Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 ml/min/1.73 m2 for subjects with creatinine levels above institutional normal 6. Subjects must possess the ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent and HIPAA consent document. Translation services including translation of informed consent documents will be provided, as feasible, to encourage diversity of inclusion of eligible patients. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects must not be experiencing toxicity due to prior therapy that has not resolved to ≤Grade 1 by study registration, with the exception of sensory neuropathy related to previous systemic therapy exposure, alopecia and fatigue. 2. Subjects must not be receiving any other investigational agents. 3. Subjects must not have known peritoneal carcinomatosis visible on imaging. 4. Subjects must not have known active solid tumors on imaging outside of abdomen/pelvis noted on screening imaging 5. Subjects must not have 6 or more active metastatic sites. 6. Subjects must not have had prior radiotherapy to any target metastatic lesion. Prior radiotherapy to non-target sites is allowed. 7. Subjects must not have uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. 8. Any condition or significant co-morbidity that prevents safe delivery of SBRT per the discretion of the treating physician(s). 9. Subjects must not be pregnant or breast-feeding. Refer to section 4.4 for further detail.
