RAPid SimPLE Targeted Radiation Treatment for Brain Metastases

Randomized Phase II Non-Inferiority Study of 5-Day Versus 1-Day RAPid SimPLE (RAPPLE) Targeted Radiation Treatment for Brain Metastases


Sponsor

British Columbia Cancer Agency

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Jul 1, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The aim of the study is to show that rapid, simple targeted radiotherapy to brain metastases with 8 Gy / 1 is non-inferior to 20 Gy / 5 in terms of overall survival for patients with poor prognosis.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 100 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a simplified, fast approach to targeted radiation therapy for brain metastases — cancer that has spread to the brain. Rather than complex planning, this approach aims to start treatment faster while still accurately targeting each tumor spot. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older with cancer that has spread to the brain - Your cancer did not originate in the blood or immune system - You have brain metastases that can be mapped and targeted with radiation - You also have cancer elsewhere in the body - You can complete quality-of-life questionnaires and attend regular imaging check-ups - You are in reasonable physical condition (Karnofsky score ≥50) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your brain condition requires urgent treatment (e.g., imminent brain herniation) - Your cancer prognosis score suggests very poor expected survival - You have leptomeningeal disease (cancer spreading along the brain lining) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
