简要总结
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been known to enhance the abscopal effect by up to 40% when delivered with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Recently, preclinical and clinical studies demonstrate that metastatic lesions treated with non-cytotoxic low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) significantly were reduced in the condition where SBRT and ICIs were administered together. Given that ICIs are highly expensive and some tumors are beyond the indications of ICIs, novel approaches are required to boost the abscopal effect in the absence of ICIs. Therefore, the investigators design a multicenter, randomized clinical trial that investigates the efficacy and safety of LDRT combined with SBRT in metastatic cancer patients. The primary endpoint is a lesion-specific response of LDRT lesions (i.e., abscopal effect) evaluated three months after radiotherapy.
Subjects will be randomly allocated into two groups (1:1) with the stratification by planning target volume and previous use of ICIs: control group (SBRT in three fractions) or experimental group (SBRT + LDRT in three factions). Unless patients agree with randomization, subjects will participate in a prospective cohort study.

研究组 & 干预措施
SBRT+LDRT
In the experimental group, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) are administered concurrently. SBRT is administered three times, at intervals of 1-2 days, with LDRT. LDRT is planned to irradiate EQD2 6 Gy considering the scattered dose caused by SBRT.
干预措施: SBRT + LDRT (Radiation)
SBRT alone
In the control group, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) alone is performed. SBRT is administered three times, at intervals of 1-2 days. The scattered dose should not exceed EQD2 2Gy to the non-irradiated lesion.
干预措施: SBRT alone (Radiation)
