About this trial

This is a multicenter, single arm phase II study of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with medically inoperable primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients ≥18 years old

Newly diagnosed RCC by biopsy (preferred) or radiologic evidence of growth on surveillance over two consecutive assessments (6-12 months)

Primary lesion >3 cm, or recurrent lesion following local ablative therapy

Medically inoperable or patient who refuses surgery following assessment by experienced urologist, and discussed in a multidisciplinary setting

Disqualifiers

Primary Lesion >20cm

Evidence of distant metastatic disease

Previous abdominal RT in vicinity of kidney preventing definitive SBRT

History of major radiosensitivity syndrome

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Stereotactic body radiotherapy

    Radiation

    SBRT is a non-invasive treatment approach that delivers precise and highly conformal radiotherapy to the tumour with steep dose gradients that minimize exposure to the surrounding normal tissues.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Local Control at 2 years

Local control at 2 years defined as the absence of progression of disease of the treated primary kidney cancer using Responsive Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)

Time frame
2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Severity of late treatment-related toxicity

Maximum CTCAE grade recorded

Time frame
6-60 months
2

Incidence of late treatment-related toxicity

Assessed using NCI CTCAE v4.0

Time frame
6-60 months post-SBRT
3

Quality of life score (e.g., EPIC-26 or other tool)

Change from baseline

Time frame
Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 60 post-SBRT
4

Late Toxicity

Assessed using NCI CTCAE v4.0

Time frame
Week 4-6 post-SBRT

Other outcomes

1

Dosimetric parameters

Dosimetric parameters (i.e. amount of radiation) to organs at risk (stomach, duodenum, small bowel, large bowel, liver, and normal kidneys) will be collected prospectively for all patients for any correlation between the amount of radiation to specific organs and the presence of toxicities (e.g. stomach upset, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea).

Time frame
Baseline, Day 3, week 4-6 post-SBRT, and months: 3,6,9,12,18,24,36,48 and 60
2

Anatomic Parameters

Size, volume and localisation of the kidney tumour relative to organs at risk (stomach, duodenum, liver, normal kidney) will be collected prospectively for all patients.

Time frame
Baseline and months: 3,6,12,18,24,36,48 and 60 post SBRT
