Clinical Trial 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)


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

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Time to local progression - TTLP 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.
12 months
Secondary CNS toxicity according to CTCAE v5.0 CNS toxicity according to CTCAE v5.0 12 months
Secondary Time to local progression (Volumetric RANO-BM criteria) 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). 12 months
Secondary Quality of Life according to EORTC QLQ-C30 Quality of life measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) questionnaire QLQ C30 Change from baseline to 3, 6, 12 and 24 months
Secondary Local-Progression-Free Survival 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 12 months
Secondary Overall Survival Overall Survival 24 months
Secondary Quality of Life according to EORTC QLQ-BN20 Quality of life measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) questionnaire QLQ BN20 Change from baseline to 3, 6, 12 and 24 months
