Testing stereotactic body radiation treatment for colorectal cancer
Official title: SBRT of Metastases Following Neo-adjuvant Treatment for Colorectal Cancer With Synchronous Liver Metastases
Phase II Single Arm Feasibility Trial to Evaluate Stereotactic Ablative Radiation of Metastases for the Management of Colorectal Cancer With Synchronous Oligo-metastases in Liver
Interventions
stereotactic body radiation treatment (SBRT)
SBRT uses 3D imaging to target high doses of radiation to the affected area. There is very little damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. SBRT works by damaging the DNA of the targeted cells. Then, the affected cells can't reproduce, which causes tumors to shrink.

The trial’s own eligibility text, word for word from the registry. Only the trial site can say who takes part.
Inclusion
- +Age ≥ 18 years
- +ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) 0-2
- +1-5 Liver lesions with max size of ≤5cm for a single lesion and restricted to one lobe of liver; deemed at Multi-Disciplinary Tumor Board (MDT) to be potentially amenable for SBRT with curative intent
- +Able to provide written informed consentInformed consentThe process of being told what taking part involves, then choosing freely.Read more →
- +Liver lesion identified within 3 months of diagnosis of primary and deemed at Multi-Disciplinary Tumor Board (MDT) to be potentially amenable for SBRT with curative intent
- +Plan for resection of primary with curative intent
- +Patients with liver metastases and potentially resectable/ablatable lung mets can be included.
- +Colon cancer patients who have undergone upfront resection of primary colonic lesion can be included
- +Able and willing to comply with the terms of the protocolProtocolThe detailed plan a study must follow.Read more → including health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires
- +Male patients should agree to not donate sperm during the study
- +Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum (or urine) pregnancy test at the time of screeningScreeningThe checks done before joining, to see whether a study fits.Read more →. WOCBP is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy) and is not postmenopausal. Menopause is defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over age 45 years in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In addition, females under the age of 55 years must have a serum follicle stimulating hormone, (FSH) level \> 40 mIU/mL to confirm menopause.
- +Females must not be breastfeeding
Exclusion
- −Extra-hepatic metastases (except potentially resectable lung mets)
- −Not a suitable candidate for SBRT
- −Past history of cancer within 5 years (except basal cell carcinoma)
- −Planned simultaneous resection of primary and liver metastases
- −Patients with Child-Pugh C and documented cirrhosis
- −Not a suitable candidate for liver resection surgery
- −Patients who have undergone previous surgery or ablation for liver lesions
