Spine Radiosurgery for Symptomatic Metastatic Neoplasms
Sponsor: University of Oklahoma
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare three types of radiation therapy for cancer that has spread to the spine. The two types of radiation therapy used in this trial are External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). EBRT delivers tightly targeted radiation beams from outside the body. SBRT is a specialized type of radiation therapy that allows high doses of radiation to small targets. This study will include standard dose SBRT and higher dose SBRT. Each participant will be randomly assigned to either EBRT, standard dose SBRT, or higher dose SBRT.

Interventions
Conventional external beam radiation therapy dose (EBRT)
Participants will undergo 8 Gray in 1 fraction of EBRT. Questionnaires (brief pain inventory, COST-FACIT, EuroQol EQ-5D) will be administered at baseline, and again at 3,6,9,12 month follow-up.
Spine radiosurgery/stereotactic body radiation therapy standard dose
Participants will undergo 24 Gray in 2 fractions of SBRT. Questionnaires (brief pain inventory, COST-FACIT, EuroQol EQ-5D) will be administered at baseline, and again at 3,6,9,12 month follow-up.
Spine radiosurgery/stereotactic body radiation therapy high dose
Participants will undergo 19 Gray in 1 fraction of SBRT. Questionnaires (brief pain inventory, COST-FACIT, EuroQol EQ-5D) will be administered at baseline, and again at 3,6,9,12 month follow-up.
