About this trial
Most patients with metastatic cancer eventually develop resistance to systemic therapy. A subset of patients experience oligoprogression, characterized by progression at a limited number of lesions while other disease sites remain controlled by ongoing systemic therapy. This randomized phase 2 trial evaluates whether image-guided 125I seed implantation targeting all oligoprogressive extracranial lesions, combined with standard-of-care systemic therapy, improves progression-free survival compared with standard-of-care systemic therapy alone in patients with metastatic NSCLC or CRC.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 18 years.
Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or colorectal cancer (CRC).
Presence of metastatic disease with extracranial oligoprogression, defined as progression in up to five (≤5) individual lesions on CT or PET/CT imaging, while other known disease sites remain stable or controlled.
Received at least one prior line of standard systemic anticancer therapy, including maintenance therapy, for metastatic disease.
Disqualifiers
Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Leptomeningeal disease or diffuse central nervous system involvement. Uncontrolled infection or serious medical comorbidities that, in the investigator's judgment, would preclude safe participation or interventional procedures.
Prior radiotherapy or brachytherapy requiring re-irradiation to the same tumor location planned for 125I seed implantation.
Known bleeding diathesis or uncorrectable coagulation disorders contraindicating interventional procedures.

Treatments tested in this trial
Standard-of-Care Systemic Therapy
Other interventionStandard systemic anticancer therapy administered according to current clinical guidelines and treating physician discretion, which may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and/or maintenance therapy.
125I Seed Implantation
Procedure/SurgeryImage-guided implantation of iodine-125 (125I) radioactive seeds to all extracranial oligoprogressive lesions for local tumor control, performed under CT or PET/CT guidance according to institutional standards.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival is defined as the time from randomization to systemic disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Disease progression will be assessed using RECIST version 1.1 and/or PERCIST criteria based on the baseline imaging modality.
Secondary outcomes
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.
Time to Initiation of a New Systemic Therapy (TTNT)
Time to initiation of a new systemic therapy is defined as the time from randomization to the start of a new line or regimen of systemic anticancer therapy due to disease progression or clinical decision.
Local Control of Treated Lesions
Local control is defined as the absence of in-field progression of oligoprogressive lesions treated with 125I seed implantation, assessed on follow-up imaging.
Safety and Treatment-Related Adverse Events
Safety is assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events, including procedure-related toxicities, graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).
Other outcomes
Metabolic Response on PET Imaging
Metabolic response on PET imaging is defined as the change from baseline in maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the target lesion, as measured on PET imaging at baseline and follow-up.
Patterns of Disease Progression
Patterns of disease progression will be descriptively analyzed, including the development of new metastatic lesions versus progression of pre-existing lesions, based on radiographic and/or clinical assessment at the time of disease progression.
