Palliative Dose Escalated Radiation for Painful Non-Spine Bone Metastases and Painful Non-Bone Metas

NCT05419518 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 124

Last updated 2026-01-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators hypothesize that with dose escalation to 40-50 Gy in ten fractions, the complete pain response rate at one month can be increased to 40-50% in painful non-spinal bone metastases. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that utilizing a fractionation scheme with an escalated biologically equivalent dose (BED) will result in a higher proportion of participants responding to treatment, and will also lead to more durable responses. Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that with dose escalation to 40-50 Gy in ten fractions, the complete pain response rate at one month can be increased to 35-45% in painful non-bone metastases

Conditions

  • Neoplasm Metastases
  • Metastases, Neoplasm

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION

A minimum of three daily radiation therapy treatments are required in any given week. Any missed radiation treatments will be made up at the end of the treatment schedule, such that the total number of delivered 5 Gy fractions remains ten.
