Bone Metastases of a Malignant Tumor

This prospective randomised pilot feasibility study will compare single-fraction radiotherapy (8 Gy × 1) with multifraction radiotherapy (20 Gy in 5 fractions) for the palliation of painful bone metastases. The study will evaluate pain response at 4 weeks following radiotherapy, together with feasibility, treatment compliance, toxicity, pain flare, retreatment, patient convenience and resource utilisation. The study will generate preliminary data to inform the design of a future definitive randomised trial.

This is a single-institution, phase 2 trial of zanzalintinib plus investigator-choice bone-strengthening agent in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with bone metastases whose disease has advanced on 1-3 prior lines of therapy, including at least one immune oncology-based (IO) therapy in the adjuvant or first-line metastatic setting.
