New registry aims to sharpen use of precision radiation for cancer
NCT ID NCT02170181
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study created a registry of 149 cancer patients who received a precise type of radiation called SBRT. The goal was to track how doctors use this treatment in four different situations: for cancer that has spread to a few spots, after chemotherapy, before starting chemotherapy, or when cancer returns after previous radiation. By collecting this information, researchers hope to better understand the best ways to use SBRT and improve future care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could help doctors better understand when and how to use SBRT for cancer that has spread, potentially improving treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test if SBRT works better than other options. Results may not apply to all cancer types.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Pathologically confirmed solid tumor malignancies which are locally advanced or metastatic. 2. Able to safely receive intended protocol defined SBRT dose. 3. For oligometastatic category, patients can have up to 6 sites of active extracranial disease amenable to SBRT with a maximum of 7 cm diameter 4. Must have a CT C/A/P, or PET/CT scan within 12 weeks of enrollment. 5. Age ≥ 18 years. 6. Karnofsky performance status of 70 or higher, or ECOG \< 2 7. Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 90 days following completion of therapy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. 7.1 a female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria: * Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or * Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months). 8. Negative urine or serum pregnancy test for women of child-bearing potential 9. Agreeable and willing to participate in expected protocol defined follow-up. 10. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent. 11. Registry participation does not exclude participation in clinical trials. Exclusion Criteria: 1 Because the tolerance dose of SBRT to the gastrointestinal tract is not established, patients with metastatic disease invading the esophagus, stomach, intestines, or mesenteric lymph nodes will not be eligible. 2\. 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. 3 Subjects must not be pregnant or nursing due to the potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm nursing infants.
