Official Title: | A Randomized Phase III Trial of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for the Comprehensive Treatment of 4-10 Oligometastatic Tumors (SABR-COMET 10) |
Actual Study Start Date : | February 22, 2019 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | January 2029 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | January 2029 |
Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Standard arm
Standard of care treatment: palliative radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormones, or observation, is at the discretion of the treating oncologist.
|
Radiation: Palliative Radiation
Investigators should follow the principles of palliative radiotherapy as per the individual institution in order to alleviate symptoms or prevent complications. If radiotherapy is indicated, recommended doses are 8 Gy in 1 fraction, 20 Gy in 5 fractions, and 30 Gy in 10 fractions.
Other Name: Palliative Radiotherapy Drug: Chemotherapy Chemotherapy may be given as indicated. Drug: Immunotherapy Immunotherapy may be given as indicated. Drug: Hormones Hormones may be given as indicated. Other: Observation Observation only is acceptable if this is the standard practice. |
Experimental: Stereotactic Arm
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy, plus standard of care treatment: chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormones, or observation given at the discretion of the treating oncologist.
|
Drug: Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy may be given as indicated. Drug: Immunotherapy Immunotherapy may be given as indicated. Drug: Hormones Hormones may be given as indicated. Other: Observation Observation only is acceptable if this is the standard practice. Radiation: Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy Total dose of radiation and number of fractions will depend on the site of disease. Doses are 20 Gy in 1 fraction, 30 Gy in 3 fractions (every 2 days), or 35 Gy in 5 fractions (daily). |
- Overall Survival at Study Completion [ Time Frame: At approximately end of year 6 (study completion) ]Time from randomization to death from any cause.
- Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: At approximately year 3, and end of year 6 (study completion) ]Time from randomization to disease progression at any site or death.
- Time from randomization to development of new metastatic lesions [ Time Frame: At approximately end of year 6 (study completion) ]New metastatic lesions will be detected using computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and/or bone scans.
- Quality of Life as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- General (FACT-G) questionnaire [ Time Frame: At approximately end of year 6 (study completion) ]
- Quality of Life as measured by the EuroQOL Group EQ-5D-5L questionnaire [ Time Frame: At approximately end of year 6 (study completion) ]
- Toxicity as measured by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 [ Time Frame: End of years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (study completion) ]
- Overall Survival at midpoint of Study [ Time Frame: At approximately year 3 (midpoint) ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 18 or older
- Willing to provide informed consent
- Karnofsky performance score greater than 60
- Life expectancy greater than 6 months
- Histologically confirmed malignancy with metastatic disease detected on imaging. Biopsy of metastasis is preferred, but not required.
- Controlled primary tumor defined as: at least 3 months since original tumor treated definitively, with no progression at primary site
- Total number of metastases 4-10
- All sites of disease can be safely treated based on a pre-plan
Exclusion Criteria:
- Serious medical comorbidities precluding radiotherapy. These include interstitial lung disease in patients requiring thoracic radiation, Crohn's disease in patients where the GI tract will receive radiotherapy, and connective tissue disorders such as lupus or scleroderma.
- For patients with liver metastases, moderate/severe liver dysfunction (Child Pugh B or C)
- Substantial overlap with a previously treated radiation volume. Prior radiotherapy in general is allowed, as long as the composite plan meets dose constraints herein. For patients treated with radiation previously, biological effective dose calculations should be used to equate previous doses to the tolerance doses listed below. All such cases must be discussed with one of the study PIs.
- Malignant pleural effusion
- Inability to treat all sites of disease
- Any single metastasis greater than 5 cm in size.
- Any brain metastasis greater than 3 cm in size or a total volume of brain metastases greater than 30 cc.
- Metastasis in the brainstem
- Clinical or radiologic evidence of spinal cord compression
- Dominant brain metastasis requiring surgical decompression
- Metastatic disease that invades any of the following: GI tract (including esophagus, stomach, small or large bowel), mesenteric lymph nodes, or skin
- Pregnant or lactating women
