SABR-COMET Trial Summary
This trial will compare a new, more precise radiation treatment to chemotherapy and older radiation treatments to see if it improves survival and quality of life.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a life expectancy of more than 6 months and confirmed metastatic cancer. They should have had no systemic therapy in the month before radiotherapy, be able to consent, and have an ECOG performance status of 0-1. All cancer sites must be treatable with SABR, which excludes those with certain brain or bone metastases or previous treatments like surgery that can't be followed by SABR.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR), a precise high-dose radiation treatment given over 1-3 weeks, to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It aims to see if SABR offers better control of cancer with fewer side effects, thus improving survival rates and quality of life.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions associated with radiation such as skin irritation at the treatment site, fatigue, nausea, potential damage to nearby organs depending on where the tumors are located, but these may be reduced due to SABR's precision.
