Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - palliative radiotherapy
Treatment: Other - Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy

Active comparator: Standard of Care Treatment (Arm 1) - Standard of care, palliative radiotherapy, and chemotherapy at the discretion of the treating medical oncologist

Experimental: Stereotactic Arm (Arm 2) - Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy, and chemotherapy at the discretion of the treating medical oncologist


Treatment: Other: palliative radiotherapy
Radiotherapy for patients in the standard arm should follow the principles of palliative radiotherapy as per the individual institution, with the goal of alleviating symptoms or preventing imminent complications. Patients in this arm should not receive stereotactic doses or radiotherapy boosts. Recommended dose fractionations in this arm will include 8 Gy in 1 fractions, 20 Gy in 5 fractions, and 30 Gy in 10 fractions.

Treatment: Other: Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy
Lung: Tumors 5 cm or less surrounded by lung parenchyma 48 Gy/4#, or 54 Gy/3#, daily or every second day Within 2 cm of mediastinum or brachial plexus 60 Gy/8#, daily

Bone: Any bone 35 Gy/5#, or 24 Gy/2#, daily

Brain: Stereotactic lesions (no whole brain RT) \<2cm 20-24 Gy/1#, once 2-3 cm 18 Gy/1#, once Metastases only: 35Gy/5# to PTV, daily Whole brain + Mets: 35Gy to metastases, daily 20 Gy whole brain, daily

Liver: 54 Gy/3#, every second day

Adrenal/Pancreas: 40 Gy/5# / 35Gy/7#, daily

Lymph Node: 40 Gy/5#, daily

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Total number of 1-3 current metastases, and a maximum 8 lifetime metastases
* Age 18 or older
* Willing to provide informed consent
* ECOG score 0-2
* Life expectancy >6 months
* Histologically confirmed malignancy with metastatic disease detected on imaging. Biopsy of metastasis is preferred, but not required.
* Controlled primary tumor

* defined as: at least 3 months since original tumor treated definitively, with no progression at primary site (can be considered controlled if no evidence of the primary tumour on imaging)
* A history and physical exam, including ECOG performance status, performed within 6 weeks prior to trial enrollment
* Not suitable for resection at all sites or decline surgery
* Patient has had a CT chest, abdomen and pelvis or PET-CT within 8 weeks prior to enrollment, and within 12 weeks prior to treatment(if randomized to SABR). CT neck as clinically indicated.
* Patient has had a nuclear bone scan (if no PET-CT) within 8 weeks prior to enrollment, and within 12 weeks prior to treatment(if randomized to SABR)
* If solitary lung nodule for which biopsy is unsuccessful or not possible, patient has had an FDG PET scan or CT (chest, abdomen, pelvis) and bone scan within 8 weeks prior to enrollment, and with 12 weeks prior to treatment (if randomized to SABR). CT neck as clinically indicated.
* If colorectal primary with rising CEA, but equivocal imaging, patient has had an FDG PET scan within 8 weeks prior to enrollment, and within 12 weeks prior to treatment(if randomized to SABR)
* Patient has had CT or MRI brain imaging if primary has a propensity for CNS metastasis within 8 weeks prior to enrollment, and within 12 weeks prior to treatment(if randomized to SABR)
* Patient is judged able to:
* Maintain a stable position during therapy
* Tolerate immobilization device(s) that may be required to deliver SABR safely
* Negative pregnancy test for Women of Child-Bearing potential (WOCBP) within 4 weeks of RT start date
* Patient is able and willing to complete the quality of life questionnaires, and other assessments that are a part of this study, via paper or online using REDCap (if email address is provided by participant on the informed consent)

Waivers to the inclusion criteria will NOT be allowed.

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* Lesion in femoral bone requiring surgical fixation
* Chemotherapy agents (cytotoxic, or molecularly targeted agents) used within the period of time commencing 2 weeks prior to radiation, lasting until 1 week after the last fraction for patients randomized to SABR
* Serious medical comorbidities precluding radiotherapy. These include interstitial lung disease in patients requiring thoracic radiation, Crohn's disease in patients where the GI tract will receive radiotherapy, and connective tissue disorders such as lupus or scleroderma.
* Substantial overlap with a previously treated radiation volume. Prior radiotherapy in general is allowed, as long as the composite plan meets dose constraints herein. For patients treated with conventional radiation previously, biological effective dose calculations should be used to equate previous doses to the tolerance doses listed below. All such cases should be discussed with one of the study PIs.
* Concurrent malignant cancer, or history of malignant cancers within the past 5 years
* Malignant pleural effusion
* History of poor lung function (if treating near lung)
* History of poor liver function (if treating near liver)
* Inability to treat all sites of disease
* Maximum size of 5 cm for lesions outside the brain, except:

* Bone metastases over 5 cm may be included, if in the opinion of the local PI it can be treated safely (e.g. rib, scapula, pelvis)
* Any brain metastasis >3 cm in size or a total volume of brain metastases greater than 30 cc.
* Clinical or radiologic evidence of spinal cord compression, or epidural tumor within <2 mm of the spinal cord. Patients can be eligible if surgical resection has been performed, but the surgical site counts toward the total of up to 8 lifetime metastases.
* Dominant brain metastasis requiring surgical decompression
* Pregnant or breastfeeding women

Waivers to exclusion criteria will NOT be allowed.
