Phase II Trial of Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT) Versus SRT Plus Vertebral Augmentation Procedure (VAP) for Vertebral Metastasis

January 14, 2019 updated by: Shiao Yuo Woo, University of Louisville

Randomized Phase II Trial of Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT) Versus SRT Plus Vertebral Augmentation Procedure (VAP) for Vertebral Metastasis

The purpose of this study is to determine pain control rate (Percentage of patients in each arm that achieve pain control) at the treated site(s) at 1 month, 2-4 months and 5-6 months post-treatment.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age ≥ 18 years.
  2. ECOG performance status 0-1.
  3. Known histologically proven malignancy.
  4. Localized osteolytic spine metastases from T7 to L5 demonstrated by MRI, CT, PET or bone scan: a solitary spine metastasis; two separate spine levels; or up to 3 separate sites (each site may have a maximal involvement of 2 contiguous vertebral bodies with or without a paraspinal mass of no more than 5 cm).
  5. Negative serum pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to registration for women of childbearing potential.
  6. Women of childbearing potential and male participants who are sexually active must agree to use a medically effective means of birth control.
  7. Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRPS) and movement-related pain score(MRPS) within two (2) weeks prior to registration.
  8. The patient must have a score of ≥ 5 for at least one of the planned sites for SRT.
  9. Patients must provide study specific informed consent prior to study entry.
  10. Required Pre-treatment Evaluations: baseline Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRPS), movement-related pain score, dose and frequency of all pain medications; QOL Measure using the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire, and EuroQOL(EQ-5D).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Non-ambulatory patients.
  2. Frank spinal cord compression or epidural compression within 3 mm of the spinal cord.
  3. Osteoblastic vertebral metastasis.
  4. Prior radiation to the index spine.
  5. Patients with rapid neurologic decline.
