About this trial

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer. The usual treatment for this type of cancer is surgery. Considering the most common patients are an average age of 65 and some are not suitable candiates for surgery, there is great interest in non-surgical alternatives for kidney cancer treatments. This study will investigate the use of Stereotactic Ablative Radiosurgery (SABR) for renal tumors. SABR is a non-invasive alternative, which involves delivery of high doses of radiation to the target, while minimizing the risk of injury to the surrounding organs. Patients will be seen before and end of treatmetn and will be followed at 4 month intervals for up to 2 years. During the follow ups, patients will be asked to complete a quality of life questionnaire and will have standard of care imaging.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Solid Kidney Mass (primary RCC or metastasis) amenable to SABR ≤6cm

Histological or radiological diagnosis of renal tumor

Inoperable: High risk for surgery or declined surgery

Disqualifiers

≥5 active metastases

Systemic therapy (except endocrine therapy) within 60 days prior to SABR

Prior abdominal radiotherapy with fields overlap resulting in excessive doses to the involved kidney

Patients with end stage renal failure > 4(KDOQI guidelines)

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To evaluate the radiation induced renal impairments in patients receiving SABR.

The prevalence of nephron toxicity in patients treated with SABR, measured by the change in Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) every 4 months over 2 years.

Time frame
2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Chronic Kidney Disease Stage Progression

Chronic kidney disease stage progression after SABR, assessed by the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines

Time frame
2 years
2

2-year Local recurrence rate

2 year local recurrence rate of kidney tumors treated with SABR, measured by assessing the change of irradiated kidney function on functional imaging.

Time frame
2 years
3

Patient Reported Outcomes

The change in quality of life of patients treated with SABR, assessed through the use of NCCN FKSI-19 questionnaire.

Time frame
2 years
4

Incidence of acute and late toxicities

The incidence of acute (≤3 months) and late complication of interest (GI or GU complications, high blood pressure and adrenal insufficiency) as assessed by CTCAE version 5.0.

Time frame
2 years
