Study population: A total of 45 patients with spinal metastases were enrolled in this study.

About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial of Stereotactic Radiotherapy on Spinal Metastasis

A single-center observational clinical trial will be performed for metastatic spinal tumors by stereotactic radiotherapy using TomoTherapy. In this study, we will explore the local control rate (LCR), disease-free progression time (PFS), overall survival time (OS), and pain relief in patients with spinal metastasis, so as to provide a basis for developing relevant guidelines or consensus.

Read the detailed description

In this observational single-arm study, a total of 45 patients with metastatic spinal tumors will be enrolled. The patients were aged between 18 and 75 years old. And all the subjects should meet the inclusion criteria and sign the informed consent. Meanwhile, the patients' medical history characteristics, including gender, age, imaging data (X-ray, CT, MRI, or PET-CT, etc.), primary tumor type, pathological type, previous treatment, previous disease history, tumor markers and bone metabolism indexes were collected and recorded on the CRF. The metastatic spinal tumors by stereotactic radiotherapy(SBRT) using TomoTherapy. The adiotherapy dose is 6Gy×5Fx, 5Gy×5Fx or 4Gy×5Fx according to the irradiation site. Treatment should be interrupted if there is severe bone marrow suppression, vertebral compression fracture, or radiation myelitis. The adjacentnormal tissue constrains refer to the UK SABR Consortium Guidelines (2022 version). Follow-up was performed 1 month after radiotherapy, thereafter every 3 months for 1-4 years. The parameters includ blood routine, liver and kidney function, bleeding and coagulation function, bone metabolism index, tumor markers, bone metastasis imaging examination. Tumor response will refer to the Cancer Response Criteria and Bone Metastases: RECIST 1.1, MDA and PERCIST.

What is being measured

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

  1. 1-year local control rate

    The proportion of complete remission, partial remission, stable disease, and disease progression patients in the total number of enrolled cases. Tumor response will refer to the Cancer Response Criteria and Bone Metastases: RECIST 1.1, MDA and PERCIST.

    Measured: 2024.4-2025.4

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. 1- and 2- year overall survival (OS)

    year overall survival (OS): From day of radiotherapy until the date of death or the end in 1 year, 2-year OS: From day of radiotherapy until the date of death or the end in 2 years

    Measured: 2024.4-2026.4

  2. 1- and 2-year Progression-Free Survival(PFS)

    1-year Progression-Free Survival (PFS):From day of radiotherapy until the Progression of bone metastases sites in 1 year, 2-year PFS:From day of radiotherapy until the Progression of bone metastases sites in 2 years

    Measured: 2024.4-2026.4

  3. Pain relief

    Assessment of pain will be according to the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).

    Measured: 2024.4-2026.4

  4. Bone metastasis-related events (SRE)

    Bone metastasis-related events will be recorded, including pathological fracture and spinal cord compression, etc.

    Measured: 2024.4-2026.4

  5. Epidural spinal cord compression (ESCC) grade

    Epidural spinal cord compression (ESCC) grade will be assessed refer to ESCC scale.

    Measured: 2024.4-2026.4

  6. Adverse reactions

    1-Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.

    Measured: 2024.4-2026.4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Bone Metastases and Radiation Therapy, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Li Zhang, MD (17821701209, zhang.li12@zs-hospital.sh.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1-year local control rate (time frame: 2024.4-2025.4). 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 12 Apr 2023.
