Description

Inclusion Criteria:

i. Adult patients (≥ 18 years old) with an ECOG Performance Status 0-2 and a life expectancy of 3 months or more.

ii. Histologically confirmed systemic malignancy with gadolinium contrast-enhanced MRI scan demonstrating 1-10 newly diagnosed intraparenchymal brain metastases.

iii. Well-circumscribed, measureable intraparenchymal brain metastasis(s) with maximum tumor diameter ≤3.0 cm. If multiple metastases are present, the other(s) must not exceed 3.0 cm in maximum diameter. At least one metastasis must be ≥ 0.5 cm in maximum diameter to be considered measurable disease.

iv. Negative urine or serum pregnancy test done ≤ 21 days prior to CT simulation, for women of child bearing potential only.

v. Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

vi. Must have received immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 and/or CTLA-4 inhibitor(s)) within the past 6 months or plan on receiving immunotherapy within the next 1 month.

vii. Must have a Gustave Roussy Immune Score (GRIm-Score) of 0 or 1 (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio > 6 = 1 point, LDH > Upper Limit of Normal = 1 point, and Albumin < 3.5 g/dL = 1 point).

Exclusion Criteria:

i. Diagnosis of germ cell tumor or hematologic malignancy. ii. Metastases in the brain stem, midbrain, pons, medulla, or within 7 mm of the optic apparatus (optic nerves, chiasm and optic tracts).

iii. Diagnosis of leptomeningeal disease. iv. Prior SRS to an immediately adjacent lesion(s) of interest or to the current lesion(s) of interest.

v. Prior history of pseudoprogression or radionecrosis from cranial radiotherapy.

vi. A neurosurgical resection cavity deemed too large by the radiation oncologist to be treated with a single fraction of stereotactic radiosurgery.

vii. Contraindications to gadolinium contrast-enhanced MRI (eg, non-compatible pacemaker, eGFR <30, gadolinium allergy).

viii. A Gustave Roussy Immune Score (GRIm-Score) > 1 (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio > 6 = 1 point, LDH > Upper Limit of Normal = 1 point, and Albumin < 3.5 g/dL = 1 point).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm A
Multi-fraction SRS. Three small doses done on each brain tumor. 27 Gy in 3 fractions in the multi-fraction group
Other Names:
  • SRS
Active Comparator: ARM B
Frameless single-fraction SRS. One large treatment done on each brain tumor. 20 Gy for GTVs (or resection cavity CTVs) < 2 cm, and 18 Gy for GTVs (or resection cavity CTVs) between 2-3 cm in the single-fraction.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Multi-Fraction SRS superiority compared to single fraction SRS
Time Frame: 4 years
To determine if Multi-Fraction SRS will decrease the rate of radionecrosis when compared to single-fraction SRS for patients with small metastases and are on immunotherapy.
4 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Target metastasis progression
Time Frame: 4 years
Target metastasis progression will be assessed using adapted Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Brain Metastases (RANO-BM) consensus imaging criteria. In brief, progressive disease is defined as a ≥20% relative increase in the longest diameter (LD) of the target metastasis compared to its smallest LD recorded on study, with a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm
4 years
Overall Survival Rate
Time Frame: 4 years
Time from randomization to death
4 years
Acute CTCAE v5.0 CNS Grade 2+ and Grade 3+ toxicities
Time Frame: 4 years
Any acute CTCAE v5.0 CNS Grade 2+ and Grade 3+ toxicities, within 90 days of SRS completion (toxicity must be specified).
4 years
Late CTCAE v5.0 CNS Grade 2+ and Grade 3+ toxicities
Time Frame: 4 years
Any late CTCAE v5.0 CNS Grade 2+ and Grade 3+ toxicities, greater than 90 days from SRS completion (toxicity must be specified).
4 years
rate of individual metastases radionecrosis
Time Frame: 4 years
To compare the rates over time of individual metastases radionecrosis using a parametric survival analysis
4 years
rate of individual metastases rates of edema
Time Frame: 4 years
To compare rates over time of individual metastases rates of edema using a parametric survival analysis.
4 years
Rates of Symptomatic Edema
Time Frame: 1 year
To compare rates of symptomatic edema at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.1
1 year
Time to any distant intracranial failure
Time Frame: 4 years
Time to any distant intracranial failure (ie, appearance of brain metastasis at untreated site).
4 years
Time to initiation of any combination
Time Frame: 4 years
Time to initiation of any combination of death, salvage SRS, WBRT, or neurosurgical resection for intracranial failure.
4 years
