About this trial

This is a single-arm pilot study of proton stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for nonhematologic spinal metastasis in patients with complex lesions that are unable to be effectively treated with standard of care photon SBRT defined as inability to develop a photon SBRT plan that achieves adequate coverage (≥80% planning treatment volume (PTV) coverage)) with a prescription dose of 30 Gy in 5 fractions.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Histologic proof or unequivocal cytologic proof of nonhematologic malignancy. This may be obtained from either the primary or any metastatic site.

Participants must have radiographic evidence of spinal metastasis on MRI.

Extensive paraspinal disease

Reirradiation setting

Disqualifiers

Participants may not have a spinal metastases case amenable to standard of care photon SBRT planning techniques that achieve ≥80% PTV coverage with a prescription dose of 30 Gy in 5 fractions.

Patients who are unable to receive MRIs will be excluded from the study since MRIs will be critical in treatment planning.

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
