About this trial
The aim of this study is to learn whether the early initiation of a specialized and focused type of radiation called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) will impact the progression of advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma, quality of life, and overall survival.
The name(s) of the study intervention involved in this study is:
* Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Subject must have histologically confirmed adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of any primary site with distant metastases detected clinically or on imaging (biopsy of metastatic disease preferred, but not required)
Cohort 1
One to five detectable sites of metastatic disease at any organ or site (including bone and CNS involvement)
Maximum size of 3 cm for brain lesions.
Disqualifiers
Cohort 1
Subject who has received systemic therapy for treatment of ACC within 2 weeks of enrollment.
Evidence of need for urgent surgical intervention for metastatic CNS or spine disease.
Cohort 1

Treatments tested in this trial
Standard of Care
Other interventionParticipants will be randomly assigned and receive standard of care as determined by their physician and may include: palliative radiation and/or a systemic therapy (like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapies).
SBRT
RadiationSBRT to 1-5 sites of metastatic disease over the course of 1-8 business days to each area of cancer
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
