NCT05222620

Brief Summary

This phase II trial compares the effect of single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery to fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of patients with cancer that has spread to the brain (metastatic brain disease). Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a form of radiation therapy that focuses high-power energy on a small area of the body. This trial is being done to determine if single (one) fraction stereotactic radiosurgery is better than fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery or vice versa in controlling tumor and side effects in patients with tumors that have spread to the brain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time to local failure or symptomatic radiation brain necrosis of large brain metastasis

    Will determine if the composite endpoint of time to local failure or symptomatic radiation brain necrosis of a large brain metastasis \[cumulative treatment failure (CTF)\] is increased with fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (FSRS) compared to single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS).

    Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Overall survival (OS)

    From study entry to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years

  • Incidence of adverse events

    Up to 2 years post radiation therapy

  • Rates of radiation necrosis

    Up to 5 years

  • Central nervous system (CNS) failure patterns (Fractionation)

    Up to 5 years

  • Time to neurologic death

    Up to 5 years

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Arm A (single fraction SRS)

OTHER

Patients undergo single fraction SRS. Patients also undergo MRI at screening and during follow up.

Other: Questionnaire AdministrationRadiation: Stereotactic RadiosurgeryProcedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Arm B (fractionated SRS)

OTHER

Patients undergo fractionated SRS, for 3-5 treatments, given over no more than 8 days.. Patients also undergo MRI at screening and during follow up.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age \>= 18 years old
  • Presence of presumed brain metastases from an extra-cerebral tumor site (e.g. lung, breast, prostate, etc.)
  • Note: Dural based metastases (e.g. commonly seen in breast cancer) are eligible
  • Size of brain metastases
  • At least one intact metastasis (not previously treated with radiosurgery) must measure \>= 2.0 cm and =\< 4.0 cm in maximal extent on the contrasted pre-treatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan obtained =\< 28 days prior to registration
  • If the largest lesion measures \>= 2.0 to =\< 4.0 cm in maximal extent the patient will be randomized
  • Able to undergo contrast enhanced MRI brain
  • Negative urine or serum pregnancy test completed =\< 7 days prior to registration, for women of childbearing potential only
  • Patient is willing and able to provide written informed consent or have a legally Authorized Representative (LAR) who is responsible for the care and well-being of the potential study participant provide consent.
  • Karnofsky performance status (KPS) \>= 50
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of (PS) \>= 2
  • Past radiosurgery or resection is allowed as long as no definitive evidence of progression in these locations
  • Note: Repeat radiosurgery to the same location/lesion is not allowed on this protocol

You may not qualify if:

  • Any patient who has received previous whole brain radiation
  • Any brain metastasis that is located in the brainstem measuring \>= 2.0 cm in maximal extent
  • Any patient with definitive evidence of leptomeningeal metastasis (LMD)
  • Any patient with an intact brain metastasis measuring \> 4.0 cm
