Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a certain kind of radiation can help extend the amount of time patients with a certain kind of kidney cancer live without their disease getting worse, and whether it can delay the need for systemic therapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with kidney cancer that has spread to up to three other body parts, but not the brain. They must have had a recent scan showing this and can't have had certain treatments in the last year. Women who can get pregnant and men must use birth control during and after treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation (SAbR) can delay the need for systemic therapy by targeting only a few metastatic spots in kidney cancer patients, potentially improving survival without immediately resorting to drugs affecting the whole body.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, SAbR typically may cause fatigue, skin reactions at the treatment site, nausea or discomfort. Serious side effects might include damage to nearby organs or tissues.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Stereotactic ablative body radiation (SABR)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Stereotactic ablative body radiation (SAbR) to all sites of measurable metastases (≤3) will be treated by SAbR. New sites of metastasis will be evaluated for continued treatment if deemed appropriate by both medical and radiation oncologists with SAbR.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is enrollment for this experiment still available to participants?

"It appears that clinicaltrials.gov does not list this medical trial as being open for recruitment at the present moment. The listing was originally posted on July 19th 2018 and most recently updated April 13th 2022, indicating a lack of current opportunities for patients to participate in this trial. However, there are approximately 2584 other trials actively recruiting now."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA sanctioned Stereotactic ablative body radiation (SABR) for medical use?

"SABR's safety is assessed at a level 2, as there is some evidence supporting its risk aversion but no data pertaining to efficacy."
