Brief Summary:
Phase III trial comparing local control and side effects after fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy and single session radiosurgery in patients with larger brain metastases (2-4 cm)

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cerebral Metastases of Solid Cancers Radiation: Radiosurgery Radiation: Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This is a prospective, multicenter randomized trial comparing local control and side effects after fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy with 12 x 4 Gy and single session radiosurgery according to RTOG 9005 in patients with larger brain metastases (2-4 cm). Patients will be randomized to either fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy with 12 x 4 Gy or radiosurgery with 1 x 18 Gy (2-3 cm) or 1 x 15 Gy (3-4 cm) as defined by the RTOG 9005. Randomization will be stratified by metastasis volume and histology.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time to local progression - TTLP [ Time Frame: 12 months ]

    Local progression will be defined according to the RANO-BM criteria by an increase of at least 20% in the longest diameter of the metastasis relative to nadir or baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20% the lesion must increase by an absolute value of 5 mm or more.

    TTLP is defined as the time from randomization until the detection of progression as per the RANO-BM criteria. Patients will be censored if they have no signs of local progression at the time of last tumor monitoring during follow-up or at the onset of one of the following competing risk events not associated with local progression: death, lost to follow up, unauthorized non-protocol treatment of the target lesion.

    Confirmatory analysis of the primary endpoint variable will be performed using a p-value of p≤0.05 as the global significance level.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. CNS toxicity according to CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    CNS toxicity according to CTCAE v5.0

  2. Time to local progression (Volumetric RANO-BM criteria) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Based on the RANO-BM criteria, progression is defined as an increase in volume of 72.8% or more (corresponds to a 20% increase in diameter for a perfect sphere).

  3. Quality of Life according to EORTC QLQ-C30 [ Time Frame: Change from baseline to 3, 6, 12 and 24 months ]
    Quality of life measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) questionnaire QLQ C30

  4. Local-Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Local-Progression-Free Survival is defined like TTLP except that death not associated with local progression will not be censored but assessed as a separate event

  5. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
    Overall Survival

  6. Quality of Life according to EORTC QLQ-BN20 [ Time Frame: Change from baseline to 3, 6, 12 and 24 months ]
    Quality of life measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) questionnaire QLQ BN20
