About this trial
This is a prospective, interventional, monocentric, clinical study of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for primary or secondary renal tumors, delivering from 25-26 Gy/1 fraction to 42-48 Gy/3-4 fractions or 40-50 Gy/5 fractions (standard prescriptions for the internationl guidelines, according to tumor size), using a robotic accelerator -CyberKnife® (Accuray, Sunnyvale, CA)-, with fiducial-tracking, to observe the acute and late toxicity reduction (as primary objectives), due to the maximum precision of the treatment. Secondary objectives are Local Relpase-Free Survival (LRFS), Regional Relapse-Free Survival (RRFS), Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS), Disease-Free Survival (DFS), Cancer Specific Survival (CSS), Overall Survival (OS) and Quality-of-Life (QoL). A total of 60 participants are expected to be enrolled over four years, and the follow-up of enrolled patients will be three years.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Acute toxicity
Acute toxicity grade ≥2 as the maximum toxicity value at 3 months after the completion of radiotherapy treatment evaluated with Common Toxicity Criteria For Adverse Events (CTCAE) scale, v6.0, with 5 grades, from 0 = no change, to 5 = death for toxicity
Late toxicity
Late toxicity grade ≥2 as the maximum toxicity value at 3 years after the completion of radiotherapy treatment evaluated with Common Toxicity Criteria For Adverse Events (CTCAE) scale, v6.0, with 5 grades, from 0 = no change, to 5 = death for toxicity
Secondary outcomes
Local control of the treated lesion (LC)
Local control of the treated site expressed in terms of local recurrence rate
Local Relapse-Free Survival (time to local recurrence, LRFS)
From the date of radiotherapy end until the date of local relapse, assessed up to 3 years
Regional Relapse-Free Survival (RRFS)
From the date of radiotherapy end until the date of regional relapse, assessed up to 3 years
Distant Metastases-Free Survival (DMFS)
From the date of radiotherapy end until the date of distant metasis diagnosis, assessed up to 3 years
Other outcomes
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events as assessed with tumor specific quality of life questionnaires
Quality of life (QoL) related to treatment using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Italian version of quality-of-life core QLQ-C30 questionnaire completed before treatment, at the end of treatment, and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months after SBRT.
Organ motion
Modeling of organ movement during treatment
Clinical and dosimetric prognostic factors
Identification of clinical, imaging, and laboratory prognostic factors for an aggressive phenotype of kidney cancer and for toxicity.
Radiomics
Evaluation of radiomic characteristics: Mathematical extraction of the spatial distribution of signal intensities and pixel interrelationships of medical images of the patients, to quantify textural information resampled according to International Biomarker Standardization Initiative (IBSI).
