The Role of Stereo-tActic BoDy RadIotherApy iN Oligo-Progressive MalignanT Disease

Enrollment

130 participants

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Systemic therapy is the main treatment for patients with metastatic cancers. Oligo-progression has become a recognized entity for metastatic cancer and it is thought that a subset of cancer cells may develop heterogeneity and resistant clones while receiving systemic therapy. This results in overall tumor response but progression in metastatic sites. Current standard is to change systemic therapies. With advancing technologies, stereotactic body radiation therapy is being used to deliver high doses of focused radiation to the disease site, while minimizing risk of injury to the surrounding organs. SBRT is increasingly being used in patients presenting oligo-metastatic disease, and is recognized as having a potential for cure. This study will investigate the use of SBRT for breast and genito-urinary cancer patients with oligo-progression. Patients will be seen before and at the end of treatment and will be followed at 4 month intervals for up to 2 years. During the visits participants will complete quality of life questionnaires and will have standard of care imaging. Patients will also have the option to provide blood at baseline, during treatment, and at various follow up time points for analysis of ctDNA


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether targeted radiation therapy (called SBRT or SABR) aimed at a small number of progressing tumour sites can slow down or control cancer spread in people with breast, prostate, bladder, or kidney cancer that has only a few areas of active growth. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years old or older, treated at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre - You have breast cancer with 5 or fewer sites of cancer that are progressing or newly appearing, and at least one is suitable for targeted radiation - OR you have prostate, bladder, or kidney cancer with 5 or fewer progressing sites - Your tumours are 6 cm or smaller - You have a confirmed cancer diagnosis (by biopsy or imaging, depending on cancer type) - For prostate cancer: you are receiving hormone therapy or have progressed on standard treatments **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have more than 5 sites of cancer progression - Your tumours are larger than 6 cm - You have not been receiving systemic treatment for at least 3 months (for oligo-progressive disease) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
