Optimization of Radiotherapy in Treatment of Painful Bone Metastasis (bone mets)
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by International Atomic Energy Agency, January 2008
Sponsored by: International Atomic Energy Agency
Information provided by: International Atomic Energy Agency
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00610272
  Purpose

Bone metastasis is one of the most frequent end complications of the cancer. Radiation therapy is the mainstay of treatment in this disease. Single fraction radiotherapy in both single and multiple bone metastasisis is widely used, but optimization of the single dose fractionation is needed. Two different regimens of radiotherapy dose fractionation will be investigated in both single and multiple bone metastasis and endpoints will include pain relief as well as toxicity and quality of life.

Radiation: radiotherapy
4 Gy or 8 Gy or 12 Gy
4: Experimental
12 Gy in 4 fractions of 3 Gy in 2 consecutive days interfraction interval of a minimum of 6 hrs; retreatments > 4 weeks using local RT fields to sites of residual or recurrent, moderate or severe pain with a single fraction of 8 Gy); second reirradiation with 8 Gy using local RT fields optional (at discretion of PI) ;

Detailed Description:

PROTOCOL SCHEMA

Group A Treatment of single site of painful bone metastasis:

Arm 1: 4 Gy single fraction; mandate first retreatment if moderate or severe pain persists or recurs (as measured by categorical pain scale or VAS greater than 50 mm), >4 weeks after initial RT) retreat with 8 Gy single fraction; second retreatment is optional if moderate or severe pain recurs (as measured by categorical pain scale or VAS greater than 50 mm), retreat with 8 Gy after > 4 weeks

Arm 2: 8 Gy single fraction, mandate first retreatment if moderate or severe pain persists or recurs (as measured by categorical pain scale or VAS greater than 50 mm), >4 weeks after initial RT) retreat with 8 Gy single fraction; second retreatment is optional if moderate or severe pain recurs (as measured by categorical pain scale or VAS greater than 50 mm), retreat with 8 Gy after > 4 weeks

Group B Treatment of multiple bone metastasis: lower hemibody radiotherapy (LHBI):

Arm 3: 8 Gy in a single fraction; retreatments > 4 weeks, using local RT fields to sites of residual or recurrent, moderate or severe pain with a single fraction of 8 Gy) ; second reirradiation with 8 Gy using local RT fields optional (at discretion of PI);

Arm 4: 12 Gy in 4 fractions of 3 Gy in 2 consecutive days interfraction interval of a minimum of 6 hrs; retreatments > 4 weeks using local RT fields to sites of residual or recurrent, moderate or severe pain with a single fraction of 8 Gy); second reirradiation with 8 Gy using local RT fields optional (at discretion of PI) ;

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • histological diagnosis of malignancy associated with radiological evidence of painful bone metastasis
  • If patients with two sites of pain requiring separate treatment are to be entered, the same randomized treatment option will be used for both sites, but response at each site will be scored and analyzed separately.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Primary histology myeloma
  • Sites of previous RT or previous radioisotope treatment
  • conditions or circumstances, which may interfere with treatment or follow-up
  • complicated bone metastasis (pathological fractures, metastatic spinal cord compression)
