High-precision Radiotherapy of Motor Deficits Due to Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating High-precision RT 5x5 Gy in 1 week for Spinal Cord Compression Due to Metastasis to Spine. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The major goal of this clinical study is to investigate to which extent high-precision radiotherapy (RT) with modern techniques can prevent progression or recurrence of motor deficits (weakness) of the legs following RT. In addition, it will be evaluated to which extent RT can lead to improvement of motor function, ambulatory status, sensory function and sphincter dysfunction, to pain relief and to improvement in quality of life, side effects and overall survival. For this purpose 44 patients who will receive modern high-precision RT treatment for the metastases on their vertebral bodies will be included into this phase 2 study. The results of the high-precision RT with a treatment of 5x5 Gray (Gy) in 1 week will be compared to data of a historical control group. The data set of the historical control group consists of more than 500 patients who received conventional RT with 5x4 Gy. The data collected in 1 week treatment will be compared. It is intended to show superiority regarding the local progression-free survival (LPFS) for the high-precision RT when compared with the conventional RT.
