Trial closure: SC24

The SC24 randomized phase II/III study comparing stereotactic body radiotherapy(SBRT) versus conventional palliative radiotherapy (CRT) for patients with spinal metastases has been permanently closed following primary publication.

Trial Objectives: PRIMARY ENDPOINT: Phase II study: The ability to accrue 54 patients over an 18 month period to a study that randomizes patients with spinal metastases to Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) or Standard Conventional Radiotherapy (CRT) within a Canadian multicentre setting. Phase III study: To assess complete pain response in the treatment area at 3 months post-radiation. SECONDARY ENDPOINTS: (1) Complete pain response in the treatment area at 6 months post-radiation; (2) Radiation site progression-free survival (RSS PFS) at 3 and 6 months; (3) Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score at 3 and 6 months; (4) Overall Surivval; (5) Adverse event profile; (6) Healthe-related Quality of Life; (7) Economic Analysis; (8) Radiotherapy Quality Assurance (RTQA) compliance. TERTIARY ENDPOINTS: (1) Radiomics; (2) Biobanking for future correlative studies TERTIARY ENDPOINT: Biobanking for future correlative Studies.
