A Study of Single Fraction Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Guided by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in People With Liver Metastasis From Colorectal Cancer
United States32 participantsStarted 2023-11-08
Plain-language summary
The researchers are doing this study to see if one session of high-dose contrast-enhanced MRI-guided SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy) is effective for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The researchers will evaluate how well the study treatment can prevent the liver metastasis from growing and spreading. In addition, they will see whether it causes any side effects and whether there are any characteristics of the research MRI images that can predict response to treatment.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥18
* Histologically confirmed colorectal carcinoma and evidence of liver metastasis on imaging
* ECOG 0-2
* \<=3 liver lesions measurable on contrast enhanced diagnostic MRI with combined size (sum of longest diameters) \< 7 cm, and individual size \< 5cm. (Subsequent simulation scans will not be used for eligibility assessment. In case of significant change in size exceeding 1cm, the individual participants can continue on the protocol provided all normal tissue contraints are met during planning).
* Lesion location at least ≥ 2 cm of main, right and left portal vein on the baseline diagnostic MRI. (Subsequent simulation scans will not be used for eligibility assessment. In case of significant change in the distance between the lesion edge and critical structure exceeding 1cm, the individual participants can continue on the protocol provided all normal tissue contraints are met during planning ).
* Lesion location at least ≥ 1.5 cm of luminal gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large bowel). (Subsequent simulation scans will not be used for eligibility assessment. In case of significant change in the distance between the lesion edge and critical structure exceeding 1cm, the individual participants can continue on the protocol provided all normal tissue contraints are met during planning).
* Lesion location ≥ 0.5 cm of diaphragm
* Preserved liver function as defined by:
* Albumin \> 2 g/dl
* \< AST/ ALT ≤ 5 x ULN
* Total Bilirubin ≤ 1…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
