About this trial

The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the feasibility of SBRT for the management of synchronous oligo metastatic liver metastases from colorectal cancers.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years

ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) 0-2

Able to provide written informed consent

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

Disqualifiers

Extra-hepatic metastases (except potentially resectable lung mets)

Not a suitable candidate for liver resection surgery

Not a suitable candidate for SBRT

Past history of cancer within 5 years (except basal cell carcinoma)

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • stereotactic body radiation treatment (SBRT)

    Radiation

    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.

Treatment groups

24 Participants
are divided into 1 treatment group
Group A: SBRT to the metastatic liver +/- lung lesionsExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Progression free survival (PFS)

Defined as Time from diagnosis to disease progression at any site or death

Time frame
From date of diagnosis upto 24 months in follow up

Secondary outcomes

1

Quality of Life (QOL)C309v3

To study the Quality of Life as measured by QLQ (quality of life questionnaire)-C309v3)

Time frame
Baseline QOL will be assessed upto 24 months follow up
2

Quality of Life (QOL)EORTC

To study the Quality of Life as measured by QLQ (quality of life questionnaire)- EORTC CR29 Questionnaire

Time frame
Baseline QOL will be assessed upto 24 months follow up
3

Cancer Specific Survival (CSS)

Defined as the time from diagnosis to death due to the cancer

Time frame
Upto 24 months
4

Overall Suvival(OS)

Defined as the time from diagnosis to death due to any cause .

Time frame
Expected to be within 3 months post treatment

Other outcomes

1

Exploratory endpoints/outcomes. To identify blood biomarkers that can correlate with disease events

Blood samples will be compared between the baseline and subsequent samples for changes in the expression levels of specific markers that may be associated with metastases and treatment response. These include circulating cell free DNA and exosomes. Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) levels in blood will also be analysed. Micro Satellite Instability (MSI) pattern in the tumor tissue will be evaluated in the pathological tissue

Time frame
Blood samples will be collected at baseline upto 24 months in follow up
