Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a combination of radiation and surgery can effectively treat cancer in the bones, and whether this treatment approach can prevent cancer from returning.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with cancer that has spread to their bones, who are at risk of bone fractures due to the disease. They must be able to undergo surgery, give informed consent, use effective birth control if needed, and have a life expectancy over 3 months. Excluded are those with prior treatments or surgeries in the affected area, high skin dose risks from radiation, immediate fracture risks, certain autoimmune diseases, active infections or low neutrophil counts.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) followed by surgical stabilization within one week on patients with bone metastases. The goal is to see if this treatment prevents cancer from returning to the treated bone area.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions related to radiotherapy such as skin irritation at the treatment site, fatigue, possible pain or discomfort post-treatment. Surgical complications could also occur like infection at the surgery site or issues related to anesthesia.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Preoperative Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Target lesions will be treated with preoperative SBRT consisting of biologically effective dose (BED10) of 50.4 - 81.6 Gy delivered in either three fractions or a single fraction. Active sparing of the intended surgical approach will be incorporated into the radiation plan by creating an avoidance structure. Surgical stabilization will proceed within 1 week of completion of radiotherapy. Pathologic specimens will be obtained intraoperatively via existing surgical access for histologic and molecular analysis. An optional research MRI with perfusion will be performed within 30 days prior to radiation simulation and within one-week after radiation therapy using 3T scanner. If patients receive radiation simulation at a non-MSK Manhattan site, MRI with Perfusion will not be performed.
