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

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥18 years
  • Metastatic cancer (any histology), with pathological or radiological proof of metastasis
  • Ability to provide written informed consent
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
  • Progressive disease while on systemic treatment (any line), defined as per RECIST criteria 1.1 on CT metrics as a greater than 20% increase in the sum measurement of lesions, non-target unequivocal progressive disease or a new lesion on CT.
  • Oligoprogression to 1-5 extracranial lesions ≤ 5cm and involving ≤ 3 organs. Progression at the primary tumor site should be counted within the total of 5 lesions. For patients with lymph node metastases, each node is counted as one site of metastasis.
  • All sites of disease can, in the opinion of the investigator, be safely treated and targetable with SABR (taking into account prior local therapy, organ function and underlying medical condition such as inflammatory bowel disease, pulmonary fibrosis, etc.)
  • Patients with prior metastases that have been treated with ablative therapies (e.g. radiotherapy, surgery or radiofrequency ablation) before their current line of systemic therapy, are eligible.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Any medical condition that could, in the opinion of the investigator, preclude radiotherapy or prevent follow-up after radiotherapy.
  • Presence of spinal cord compression
  • Metastatic disease that invades the GI tract (including esophagus, stomach, small or large bowel

About this study

Official title: Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for Oligo-Progressive Disease REfractory to Systemic Therapy in Metastatic Cancer: A Phase II Randomized Trial

A registry-based randomized phase II trial. A total of 46 patients with metastatic cancer on systemic therapy with oligoprogression to 1-5 extracranial lesions will be randomized using a 1:1 ratio to standard of care (begin next-line systemic therapy, best supportive care, continue current systemic line, based on treating physician decision) vs. receive stereotactic ablative radiotherapy to all oligoprogressive lesions while continuing their current systemic therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Standard armOther

    Patients on the standard arm will be treated as per standard of care in our institution. Treatment options could include switching to next systemic therapy line, best supportive care or continuing on current systemic therapy.

  • Experimental armRadiation

    SABR to all oligoprogressive lesions + continuation of current systemic therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression free survival

    PFS defined from randomization to disease progression at any site or death

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall survival

    OS defined as time from randomization to time of death from any cause.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Quality of life Measured using the FACT-G tool, patient reported outcome- CTCAE (PRO-CTCAE) and Quality of life 5-level EQ-5D

    Measured using the FACT-G tool, patient reported outcome- CTCAE (PRO-CTCAE) and quality of life 5-level EQ-5D

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Grade ≥ 3 toxicity Measured using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5.0)

    Measured using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Local control

    Defined as time from the end of SABR treatment to date of local failure and will be measured only in the experimental arm

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Time to next systemic therapy

    Defined as time from randomization to time of subsequent therapy line

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Standard arm and Experimental arm in people with Metastatic Cancer and Oligoprogressive, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 1 site in Canada.

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 8 inclusion and 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2026. 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 Canada. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Silvine Benth (514-890-8254, silvine.benth.chum@ssss.gouv.qc.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression free 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 22 Jul 2026.
