Standard Versus Radiobiologically-Guided Dose Selected SBRT in Liver Cancer

Sponsor: London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Radiation is a standard treatment option for patients with liver cancer. Unfortunately, the tumour grows after radiation in many patients and radiation can harm normal tissues. A new treatment using a specialized radiation procedure called Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may increase the chance to control liver cancer and reduce the chance of harm to normal tissues. SBRT allows radiation treatments to be focused more precisely, and be delivered more accurately than with older treatments. SBRT has become a routine treatment. Further research has found that specialized computer programs can possibly guide the selection of an appropriate SBRT dose. This is called radiobiological guidance. However, this has not yet been proven to improve outcomes and/or reduce toxicity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out if SBRT at standard dose versus SBRT guided by radiobiological techniques is better for you and your liver cancer.

Official title: A Phase III Randomized Trial of Standard Dose Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Versus Radiobiologically-Guided Dose Selected SBRT In Primary or Secondary Liver Carcinoma (SAVIOR).

Interventions

RADIATION

Radiation therapy

Patients will be randomized between standard of care palliative irradiation of 2000cGy in 5 fractions (Arm 1) versus radiobiologically guided dose selection also in 5 fractions (Arm 2). For all patients randomized, radiation is to be delivered in 5 fractions delivered over 5 to 15 days.
