NCT ID NCT04530513

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested a new radiation technique called SABR in 13 adults with cancer that had spread to more than 10 spots in the body. The goal was to see if giving high-dose, precise radiation to all cancer sites is safe. Researchers looked for side effects and quality of life changes. This is the first step in exploring whether SABR can help people with very advanced cancer.

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 SABR is safe for treating many cancer spots at once, potentially offering a new option for advanced cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study with only 13 participants. It focuses on safety, not effectiveness, and may not lead to better outcomes. High-dose radiation to many sites carries risks of serious side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 or older * Willing and able to provide informed consent * ECOG 0-2 * Life expectancy greater than 3 months * Histologically confirmed malignancy with metastatic disease detected on imaging. A biopsy of a metastatic site is preferred, but not required. * Staging/Re-staging within 6 weeks prior to enrollment: * Brain: Computerized Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for tumor sites with propensity for brain metastasis. All patients with brain metastases (at enrollment or previously treated) require an MRI of the brain. * Body: CT neck/chest/abdomen/pelvis and bone scan required. This may be replaced with a Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/CT (18-Fluorodeoxyglucose \[FDG\] or Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen \[PSMA\]) except for tumors where FDG uptake is not expected. * Spine: MRI of the spine is not mandatory for enrollment. * Presence of poly-metastatic disease, defined as total number of targets greater than 10 * No standard of care systemic therapy option exists for the patient, the patient refuses further standard systemic therapy, or there is no intent to deliver systemic therapy for 3 months after enrollment. * At the discretion of the treating oncologist, it is believed that all sites of disease can be safely treated for enrollment on study. Exclusion Criteria: * Serious medical comorbidities precluding radiotherapy. These include interstitial lung disease in patients requiring thoracic radiation, Crohn's disease in patients where the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract will receive radiotherapy, ulcerative colitis where the bowel will receive radiotherapy or connective tissue disorders such as lupus or scleroderma. * For patients with liver metastases, moderate/severe liver dysfunction * Inadequate baseline bone marrow function (i.e. symptomatic anemia, neutropenia and/or thrombocytopenia which may interfere with the ability to deliver radiation). * Chronic kidney dysfunction Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) less than 30 where a significant dose of radiotherapy is expected to be delivered to the kidney. * Substantial overlap with a previously treated radiation volume. Prior radiotherapy in general is allowed, as long as the composite plan meets dose constraints herein. For patients treated with radiation previously, biological effective dose calculations should be used to equate previous doses to the tolerance doses. * Prior treatment with systemic radiopharmaceuticals (i.e. Radium 223 or Lutetium 177) * More than 50 metastases (count excluding equivocal lesions less than 5mm in size) * Any single metastasis greater than 5 cm in size. This is a firm cut-off. * Any brain metastasis greater than 3 cm in size or a total volume of brain metastases greater than 30 cc. This is a firm cut-off. * Central Nervous System (CNS) only disease * Metastasis in the brainstem. * Inability to treat all sites of disease, which may include: * Disease involving any of the following: GI tract (including esophagus, stomach, small or large bowel), mesenteric lymph nodes, and/or skin * Diffuse or "miliary" metastatic disease of brain, bone, lung, liver or other sites (i.e. lymphangitic spread, malignant pleural effusion/ascites, peritoneal disease, leptomeningeal metastases) where it would be impossible to deliver radiotherapy at the intended dose level * Any evidence of epidural disease on any baseline imaging. * Clinical or radiologic evidence of spinal cord compression. * Dominant brain metastasis requiring surgical decompression. * Patients treated with prior systemic therapy are eligible for this study, however, systemic therapy agents that are cytotoxic, immunotherapeutic, or molecularly targeted agents are NOT allowed within the period of time commencing 2 weeks prior to radiation. Patients on conventional hormone therapy with anti-estrogen therapy (including but not limited to tamoxifen, letrozole, anastrozole, Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone \[LHRH\] agonists or antagonists) or anti-testosterone therapy (including but not limited to LHRH agonists or antagonists, direct anti-androgens like bicalutamide, apalutamide or steroid synthesis inhibitors like abiraterone) may continue this medication. No systemic therapy may be planned to initiate within 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy. * Pregnant or lactating women.
