Focused Radiation Versus Systemic Therapy for Kidney Cancer Patients With Limited Metastasis, SOAR Study

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare overall survival (OS) between patients receiving SAbR + systemic therapy (SABR+ST) versus systemic therapy (ST) only.

II. To compare average adverse event (AE) score between SAbR+ST arm and ST only arm.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare global health status / quality of life (QOL) between patients receiving SAbR+ST versus ST only.

II. To compare progression-free survival (PFS) between the arms.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate PFS on first line systemic therapy (PFS-SST) in the SAbR+ST arm and compare with first line systemic therapy PFS of the ST arm.

II. To explore local control from SAbR by looking at the amount of local failures after SAbR in the SAbR+ST arm.

III. To assess the cost-effectiveness between the arms in terms of cost per unit gain in quality-of-life years.

QOL OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare global health status / quality of life (QOL) between patients receiving SabR+ST versus ST only using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) / Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Kidney Cancer Symptom Index -19 item (NFKSI-19).

II. To compare quality-adjusted survival between patients randomized to receive SabR+ST vs ST alone using European Quality of Life (EUROQOL) 5-dimension, 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months.

III. To compare global health status / QOL of the NFKSI-19 at all of the 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 month time points between patients randomized to receive SabR+ST versus ST alone.

IV. To compare scale scores of the NFKSI-19 (disease-related symptoms – physical disease-related symptoms – emotional, treatment side effects, and function & well-being) at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 months between patients randomized to receive SabR+ST versus ST alone.

V. To compare time to global quality of life deterioration between patients randomized to receive SabR+ST versus ST alone using NFKSI-19.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive standard of care systemic therapy on study.

ARM II: Patients undergo repeated SAbR until progression and then receive standard of care systemic therapy on study.

Patients in both arms undergo computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the trial.
