NCT03184038

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies the neurological function in patients with multiple brain metastases undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Assessment of neurocognitive function may help show that SRS preserves neurological function in patients with multiple brain metastases better than SBRT.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Neurocognitive function as measured by neurocognitive decline on a battery of tests

    The proportion of patients with neurocognitive decline at 4 months post stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatment in each group will be estimated using the sample proportion with the corresponding two-sided 95% confidence interval. The determination of neurocognitive decline will be based on a battery of tests: Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) for Total Recall, Delayed Recall, and Delayed Recognition, Controlled Oral Word Association (COWA), and the Trail Making Test (TMT) Parts A and B. The operative definition for neurocognitive decline in this study will be decline on at least one of these measures.

    At 4 months

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Change in neurocognitive function as measured by neurocognitive decline on a battery of tests conducted by the primary investigator or a trained member of the clinical team

    Baseline to up to 12 months

  • Change in symptom burden as measured by the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory- Brain Tumor Module (MDASI-BT)

    Baseline to up to 12 months

  • Quality adjusted survival and health outcomes as measured by the European Quality of Life Five Dimension Five Level scale questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L)

    Up to 12 months

  • Local control as measured by magnetic resonance imaging

    Up to 12 months

  • Progression free survival (PFS)

    Up to 12 months

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Supportive care (SRS/SBRT, neurocognitive testing)

EXPERIMENTAL
