Definitive Radiation for High-Risk Spine Metastases

A Phase II Study Evaluating Definitive Radiosurgical Decompression in Patients With High-Risk Spinal Metastases


Sponsor

Stony Brook University

Enrollment

26 participants

Start Date

Dec 14, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study is looking at whether patients with cancer that has aggressively spread to the spine can be treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy only and avoid a large spine surgery


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests high-dose, precisely targeted radiation (stereotactic body radiotherapy, or SBRT) for people with cancer that has spread to the spine (spinal metastases) and is considered high-risk. Rather than removing the tumor surgically, this approach uses radiation to destroy it while sparing the spinal cord. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older with cancer that has spread to the spine - Your spinal metastasis is considered high-risk (based on location, size, or tumor type) - Your general health allows you to receive radiation treatment - Your spinal cord is not already being severely compressed **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already received radiation to the same spinal area - You have severe spinal cord compression requiring emergency surgery first - Your cancer is not suitable for radiation - You have conditions that prevent safe positioning for treatment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
