Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary One-year failure rate The one-year failure rate is determined by the number of study participants with clinical failure, defined as needing decompressive surgery at the targeted spinal area due to progression of disease. The rate is determined by the amount of participants with documented clinical failure at any time within ten months of completing protocol therapy. This number is compared to the rate of decompressive surgery in the general population. Up to 1 year
Secondary Rate of radiation myelopathy The rate of radiation myelopathy will assess the proportion of patients with neurologic deterioration prior to starting protocol therapy to six months after completing protocol therapy. This is determined using the modified McKenzie scores and will be scored by the treating physician. Scores are A: no abnormality, B: focal minor symptom (e.g. pain), C: functional paresis, D: nonfunctional paresis, and E: paralysis or incontinence. The treating physician will determine if scores are probably or definitely related to protocol therapy and not to local progression of tumor. Up to 6 months
Secondary Rate of vertebral compression fracture The rate of vertebral compression fracture (VCF) is determined by the number of participants who develop VCF possibly, probably, or definitely related to the protocol therapy, as opposed to tumor progression. This is assessed and determined by the treating physician by reviewing the initial MRI done prior to starting protocol therapy compared to MRI scans done at follow up visits after receiving protocol therapy. Up to 2 years
Secondary Number of Treatment Related Adverse Events as Measured By CTCAE v.5 The number of treatment-related adverse events during the study will be assessed by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5 within 3 months of completing the protocol therapy that are determined to be grades 2 or higher (acute toxicity) by the treating physician. Up to 1 year
Secondary Local control (LC) rate The local control (LC) is defined as the absence of progression of the disease at the treated spinal area. The LC rate is assessed by comparing two separate MRI scans - the initial MRI done prior to starting therapy compared to the MRI done one month after completing protocol therapy. The rate is determined by assessing progression of disease between the two MRI scans. Up to 10 weeks
Secondary Local progression (LP) rate The local progression (LP) is defined as the unequivocal increase in tumor volume or linear dimension, any new or progressive tumor within the treated area; or neurological deterioration attributable to pre-existing epidural disease with equivocal increased epidural disease dimensions. The LP rate is assessed by comparing two separate MRI scans - the initial MRI done prior to starting therapy compared to the MRI done one month after completing protocol therapy. Up to 10 weeks
Secondary Change in mean relative in epidural tumor The mean relative epidural tumor reduction measures the tumor size assessed on the initial MRI scan done prior to starting protocol therapy compared to the tumor size assessed on MRI scan done one month after completing protocol therapy. Baseline, Up to 10 weeks
Secondary Overall epidural tumor response rate The overall epidural tumor response rate is determined by the objective response rate (ORR) which is defined by the number of participants with objective response to protocol therapy compared to overall number of study participants. This rate is determined based on review of two MRI scans - the initial MRI scan done prior to starting protocol therapy compared to the MRI scan done one month after completing protocol therapy. Up to 10 weeks
Secondary Change in mean relative thecal sac patency The change in mean relative thecal sac patency is defined as [(postradiosurgery thecal sac area minus preradiosurgery thecal sac area) divided by pre radiosurgery thecal sac area]. Baseline, Up to 10 weeks
Secondary Change in thecal sac decompression rate The change in thecal sac decompression rate is defined as the number of study participants who experienced a relative improvement of thecal sac patency at 1 month post-radiotherapy (post-RT) MRI divided by the total number of study participants. Baseline, Up to 14 weeks
Secondary In-field progression (IFP) rate The in-field progression (IFP) rate is defined as the proportion of patients with in-field progression, where IFP is defined as the increase in tumor size, any new or progressive tumor within the treatment area, or neurological deterioration attributable to preexisting disease in treatment area. This is determined based on review of two MRI scans - the initial MRI scan done prior to starting protocol therapy compared to the MRI done one month after completing protocol therapy. Up to 1 year
Secondary Distant progression (DP) rate The distant progression (DP) rate is defined as the proportion of patients who experience DP, where DP is defined as the increase in tumor size or any new or progressive tumor outside of the treatment area. Up to 1 year
Secondary Failure-Free Survival (FFS) The failure-free survival (FFS) is defined as the time from study enrollment to the first documented clinical failure or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Up to 2 years
Secondary Overall Survival (OS) The overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from study enrollment to the time of first documented death from any cause. Up to 2 years
Secondary Quality of Life Assessed Using EuroQol (EQ) Five Dimension (5D) Five Level (5L) (EQ-5D-5L) The EQ-5D-5L represents a global quality of life measure that includes multiple components. The EQ-5D-5L score includes questions on mobility, self-care, usual activities, anxiety/depression, and pain/discomfort on a 5-point scale: 1=No Problem, 2=Slight Problem, 3=Moderate Problem, 4=Severe Problem, 5=Extreme Problem or Inability. 0, 1, and negative values correspond to death, full health, and health states worse than death, respectively. Higher scores indicate greater levels of problems across each of the five dimensions. Up to 2 years
Secondary Quality of Life Assessed Using FACT-G Defined by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy General (FACT-G), a 27-item questionnaire designed to measure four domains of health-related QOL in cancer participants. Items are rated on a 5-item Likert scale. Scores range from 0-108. Higher scores indicate better quality of life. Up 2 years
Secondary Local Pain Control as Measured by Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) The BPI measures pain intensity and the functional interference caused by pain via four items assessing average, worse, least, and immediate pain intensity in the last 24 hours. Pain intensity is measured using an 11-point numeric rating scale (0=no pain; 10=worst you can imagine). Higher scores indicate greater pain. Up to 2 years
Secondary Rate of ambulation preservation The ambulation status is evaluated on a 4 level scale where normal = 0, walking with 1 cane = 1, walking with a walker frame = 2, and walking not possible = 3. Scores of 3 at interval follow-up indicate loss of independent ambulation. The rate of preservation is the proportion of patients with preservation divided by the total number of patients on study. Preservation is determined by comparing baseline ambulatory score to interval follow up score. Up to 2 years
Secondary Maximum planned target volume (PTV) maximum dose (Dmax) The planning target volume (PTV) maximum dose (Dmax) is the max dose that is planned for study participants to receive. PTV Dmax will be measured in cubic centimeters. Up to 1 year
Secondary Mean planned target volume (PTV) Dose Mean (DMean) The PTV Dose mean (DMean) is the average dose planned to received by participants. PTV DMean will be measured in grays (Gy). Up to 1 year
Secondary PTV D80 PTV D80 is the dose received by 80% of the targeted area. This is recorded for initial and subsequent radiotherapy plans to verify the advantages of planning and modifying dose levels as needed. PTV D80 will be measured in grays (Gy). Up to 1 year
Secondary PTV D95 PTV D95 is the dose received by 95% of the treated area. This is recorded for initial and subsequent radiotherapy plans to verify the advantages of planning and modifying dose levels as needed. PTV D95 will be measured in grays (Gy). Up to 1 year
