Neoadjuvant Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Brain Metastasis
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Neoadjuvant Stereotactic Radiotherapy (NaSRT): Neoadjuvant Stereotactic Radiotherapy (NaSRT) gives radiotherapy before surgery from many different angles around the body. The beams meet at the tumor. This means the tumor receives a high dose of radiation and the tissues around it receive a much lower dose. This lowers the risk of side effects.
Postoperative Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT): Postoperative Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) gives radiotherapy after surgery from many different angles around the body. The beams meet at the tumor. This means the tumor receives a high dose of radiation and the tissues around it receive a much lower dose. This lowers the risk of side effects.
Study summary
This multicentre proof-of-concept study, involving 4 centers, aims to establish the value of fractionated neoadjuvant stereotactic radiotherapy (NaSRT) as a new treatment paradigm for brain metastases (BM) in the frame of the Czech neurooncology network. Most relevant studies published to date used single-fraction radiotherapy and dealt with the inherent bias related to their retrospective nature. The researchers aim to increase the level of evidence for this treatment paradigm together with other similar ongoing studies.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Acute Toxicity — 3 months
Acute Toxicity will be assessed in the study subjects according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) ver. 5 to 10%. - Quality of Life Questionnaire (FACT-Br/EORTC QLQ-C30) — 3 months
Quality of Life will be assessed in the study subjects using the FACT-Br/EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. - Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-BN20) — 3 months
Quality of Life will be assessed in the study subjects using the EORTC QLQ-BN20 questionnaire.
