Overview
Brief Summary
Phase III trial comparing local control and side effects after fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy and single session radiosurgery in patients with larger brain metastases (2-4 cm)
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, multicenter randomized trial comparing local control and side effects after fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy with 12 x 4 Gy and single session radiosurgery according to RTOG 9005 in patients with larger brain metastases (2-4 cm). Patients will be randomized to either fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy with 12 x 4 Gy or radiosurgery with 1 x 18 Gy (2-3 cm) or 1 x 15 Gy (3-4 cm) as defined by the RTOG 9005. Randomization will be stratified by metastasis volume and histology.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Time to local progression - TTLP
Time Frame: 12 months
Local progression will be defined according to the RANO-BM criteria by an increase of at least 20% in the longest diameter of the metastasis relative to nadir or baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20% the lesion must increase by an absolute value of 5 mm or more. TTLP is defined as the time from randomization until the detection of progression as per the RANO-BM criteria. Patients will be censored if they have no signs of local progression at the time of last tumor monitoring during follow-up or at the onset of one of the following competing risk events not associated with local progression: death, lost to follow up, unauthorized non-protocol treatment of the target lesion. Confirmatory analysis of the primary endpoint variable will be performed using a p-value of p≤0.05 as the global significance level.
Secondary Outcomes
- Quality of Life according to EORTC QLQ-BN20(Change from baseline to 3, 6, 12 and 24 months)
- CNS toxicity according to CTCAE v5.0(12 months)
- Overall Survival(24 months)
- Time to local progression (Volumetric RANO-BM criteria)(12 months)
- Quality of Life according to EORTC QLQ-C30(Change from baseline to 3, 6, 12 and 24 months)
- Local-Progression-Free Survival(12 months)
