About this study

Official title: A Prospective Investigation of Definitive Targeted Therapy for Solid Malignancies With Oligometastases

Patients with metastatic cancer are usually treated with systemic therapy (treating the entire body) with the assumption that any localized treatment of clinically apparent metastases would not impact survival. In the setting of increasingly effective systemic therapy and limited metastatic disease, aggressive treatment to clinically active sites of disease (alone or in addition to systemic therapy) may improve survival.

Read the detailed description

Up to recently it has been assumed that in the setting of metastatic solid tumors, locoregional control of clinically apparent metastases does not substantially impact survival due to undetectable micrometastic (clinically not visualized) disease that ultimately lead to treatment failure/progression. However, as more advanced systemic therapy continue to improve control of micrometastatic disease, failures at the original sites of disease remain common. Furthermore, some studies have shown locoregional treatment of limited clinical metastases to actually improve survival. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that aggressive treatment to clinically active sites of disease (alone or in addition to systemic therapy) may improve survival or alter the course of the disease in some patients with limited metastatic disease.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Complete Surgical RemovalProcedure or surgery

  • Stereotactic RadiosurgeryRadiation

    Also called Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for extracranial metastases are also known as streotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)

  • Ablative external beam radiation doseRadiation

    Also called External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) with prescribed doses ≥ 45 Gy (biologic equivalent dose)

  • Subtotal surgical removal plus ablative radiation doseProcedure or surgery

    Also called tumors surgically debulked with residual disease or close/positive margins followed by ablative radiation doses

    Residual tumor or close/positive margins should be followed by ablative radiation doses (by either stereotactic radiosurgery or convential EBRT) to constitute definitive locoregional treatment

  • RadioembolizationRadiation

    Also called Yttrium-90 (Y-90) microspheres, Y-90 radioembolization, SIR-spheres, TheraSphere

    radioembolization of the liver with Y-90 microspheres or other site-appropriate techniques

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Survival

    Overall and disease-specific survival, to be assessed at 1, 3, and 5 years.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Time to first progression of disease (regardless of location)

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Locoregional disease control

    Time to first progression within definitively treated areas

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Toxicity

    Including grade 2+ toxicity attributable to localized study treatment as well as to systemic therapy

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Complete Surgical Removal, Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Ablative external beam radiation dose in people with Stage IV or Recurrent Carcinoma or Sarcoma, run by Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Rachel Lei, BS (303-418-7607, rachel.lei@usoncology.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jul 2013.
