Trial Identification

Brief Title: Clinical Trial Comparing Dose-intensified SBRT With Conventional Radiation Therapy for Spinal Metastases

Official Title: Dose-intensified Image-guided Fractionated Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Painful Spinal Metastases Versus Conventional Radiation Therapy: a Randomised Controlled Trial (DOSIS RCT)

Study ID: NCT02800551

Study Description

Brief Summary: This study will compare pain (primary end-point) and local metastatic tumor control (secondary end-point) after dose-intensified image-guided fractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for painful mass-type spinal metastases versus conventional radiation therapy.

Detailed Description: Rationale: Radiation therapy is an effective palliative treatment for painful spinal metastases. A sub-group of patients with mass-type spinal metastases, a factor associated with poor local metastasis control, require treatment optimization ensuring durable pain control and metastatic tumor control. Proposed solution: To intensify (escalate) radiation dose using simultaneous integrated boost with image-guided hypofractionated SBRT for painful mass-type spinal metastases in a randomized controlled trial. Two experimental fractionation regimes will be tested in the study depending on presence or absence of epidural involvement. Dose intensification is expected to achieve long-term pain control and long-term palliation as well as long-term local metastatic tumor control without adding toxicity as compared to conventional fractionation regimes with conventional radiation therapy. The study will be carried out as multinational, multicentre phase II clinical controlled trial enrolling patients with painful mass-type spinal metastases who are eligible for radiation therapy without surgery. This study additionally includes a prospective observational arm for patients not eligible for randomisation who are treated in analogy to arm A of the randomised arm.
