Trial summary

This study is to look more closely at the tumor removed during your surgery, and to follow your condition after your treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine what side effects are common or more rare from this treatment, how well the treatment has worked for you, and to track whether you develop other… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients treated at the University of Rochester Medical Center

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have a previously histopathologically proven diagnosis of malignancy.
  • Patients must be evaluated by Neurosurgery and Radiation Oncology
  • Patients must have 1-3 brain metastases seen on MRI or CT imaging. At least one brain metastases must be considered resectable by craniotomy as determined by the treating neurosurgeon. Brain lesion resection must be considered standard of care. A not uncommon situation is for a patient to undergo resection of a solitary metastasis, but prove to have more lesions on subsequent MRIs (perhaps too small to be seen on a pre-operative MRI). These patients will be eligible if the total number of lesions is 1-3.
  • All lesions must be treatable by SRS as determined by the treating neurosurgeon and radiation oncologist.
  • All lesions must be <4 cm in greatest dimension. For patients with more than 1 brain metastases, only 1 lesion can exceed 3 cm in greatest dimension.
  • In patients treated to the post-op surgical cavity, this cavity must be encompassed by a CTV of <5 cm.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Patients must have a Karnofsky performance status ≥60.
  • Extracranial disease must not be considered imminently life threatening (<2 month anticipated survival from extracranial disease).
  • Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign and give written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines.

Who cannot join

  • KPS<60
  • life expectancy > 2 months

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Resection Combined With Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Patients With Limited (1-3) Brain Metastases

This study is to look more closely at the tumor removed during your surgery, and to follow your condition after your treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine what side effects are common or more rare from this treatment, how well the treatment has worked for you, and to track whether you develop other brain metastases.

Being tested

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Novalis Shaped Beam SurgeryPatients with limited brain metastases (mostly solitary brain metastasis) treated with Novalis Shaped Beam Surgery followed by planned craniotomy and resection of the metastases.
Receives: Radiation: Novalis Shaped Beam Surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine toxicity of treatment with cranial SRS and resection

    Measured: During treatment and long term follow-up

  2. Determine the local control of the treated lesion(s), distant brain control and overall patient survival.

    Measured: During treatment and long term follow-up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tissue from the resected brain metastases will be evaluated with immunohistochemistry and/or comparative genomic hybridization to assess for potential markers for clinical outcome as well as potential markers of radiation response.

    Measured: Following surgical resection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neoplasm Metastasis, run by University of Rochester at 1 site 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 9 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine toxicity of treatment with cranial SRS and resection (time frame: During treatment and long term follow-up). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 May 2022.
