Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Focused Radiation Versus Systemic Therapy for Kidney Cancer Patients With Limited Metastasis, SOAR Study

Study Description

Brief Summary: This phase III trial compares the effect of stero-ablative radiotherapy (SAbR) followed by standard of care systemic therapy, to standard of care systemic therapy alone, in patients with kidney cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to a limited (2-5) number of places in the body (metastatic). Study doctors want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for metastatic kidney cancer. The usual approach is defined as the care most people get for metastatic kidney cancer which includes systemic therapy such as immunotherapy (given through the veins) and/or small molecular inhibitor (tablets taken by mouth). Radiotherapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. SAbR uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. Giving SAbR prior to systemic therapy may kill more tumor cells than the usual approach, which is systemic therapy alone.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare overall survival (OS) between patients receiving SAbR + systemic therapy (SABR+ST) versus systemic therapy (ST) only. II. To compare average adverse event (AE) score between SAbR+ST arm and ST only arm. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare global health status / quality of life (QOL) between patients receiving SAbR+ST versus ST only. II. To compare progression-free survival (PFS) between the arms. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate PFS on first line systemic therapy (PFS-SST) in the SAbR+ST arm and compare with first line systemic therapy PFS of the ST arm. II. To explore local control from SAbR by looking at the amount of local failures after SAbR in the SAbR+ST arm. III. To assess the cost-effectiveness between the arms in terms of cost per unit gain in quality-of-life years. QOL OBJECTIVES: I. To compare global health status / quality of life (QOL) between patients receiving SabR+ST versus ST only using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) / Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Kidney Cancer Symptom Index -19 item (NFKSI-19). II. To compare quality-adjusted survival between patients randomized to receive SabR+ST vs ST alone using European Quality of Life (EUROQOL) 5-dimension, 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months. III. To compare global health status / QOL of the NFKSI-19 at all of the 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 month time points between patients randomized to receive SabR+ST versus ST alone. IV. To compare scale scores of the NFKSI-19 (disease-related symptoms - physical disease-related symptoms - emotional, treatment side effects, and function \& well-being) at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 months between patients randomized to receive SabR+ST versus ST alone. V. To compare time to global quality of life deterioration between patients randomized to receive SabR+ST versus ST alone using NFKSI-19. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients receive standard of care systemic therapy on study. ARM II: Patients undergo repeated SAbR until progression and then receive standard of care systemic therapy on study. Patients in both arms undergo computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the trial.
