5-Day radiation blast shows promise for containing spread of solid tumors
NCT ID NCT01761929
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a 5-day course of high-dose radiation therapy (SBRT) for people with solid tumors that have spread to up to 5 spots in the body. The goal was to see if giving a stronger dose to the tumor while protecting normal tissue could control the disease and limit side effects. 138 participants were followed for one year to track how well the treated spots responded and any side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Any solid tumors are eligible. Lymphoma, myeloma and germ cell tumors are excluded. * Histological confirmation of neoplastic disease either from original primary or metastatic sites is required. * Radiological diagnosis of oligometastastic metastatic disease is accepted if considered clinically acceptable. Histological confirmation is not mandatory. * Oligometastatic disease, maximum of 5 lesions. * At least one lesion is suitable for stereotactic body radiotherapy * All known sites of disease have plans for local ablative management (see section management plan for definitions) within 3 months * ECOG ≤ 2 * At least 18 yrs old Exclusion Criteria: * Previous radiotherapy to the intended treatment site * Patient cannot tolerate physical set up required for SBRT * Active bowel obstruction, if treating abdominal/pelvic site * Chemotherapy within 2 weeks of intended radiation therapy * Treatment plan respecting normal tissue tolerances using dose fractionation specified within the protocol cannot be achieved * Pregnancy
