Plain-language summary
This is a Phase III non-blinded randomized study evaluating patients with oligometastatic cancers (up to 10 metastases). Subjects are randomized 1:1 to stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) plus standard of care therapies versus standard of care therapies alone. The investigators will measure progression-free survival at 2 years based on the hypothesis that subjects treated with SABR plus standard of care will not experience disease progression for a longer period of time than subjects treated with standard of care alone. The investigators will also measure overall survival and safety of SABR, as well as biomarkers that may help predict, in the future, who will benefit from the SABR treatment.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion criteria
. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.
. Age at least 18 years.
. Deemed eligible to undergo standard systemic therapy and SABR to metastatic sites (i.e., patient has adequate health and life expectancy, and treatment is not contraindicated).
. Histopathologic confirmation of a solid malignancy.
. Newly diagnosed or progressive metastasis (at least 1 and no more than 10 discrete distant metastases visible on staging imaging. At least one metastatic lesion must be outside the brain parenchyma) for which a new line of systemic therapy is started or resumed.
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.
. New systemic therapy for metastatic disease initiated no more than 6 months prior to randomization.
. For participants able to become pregnant: use of highly effective contraception for at least 1 month prior to screening and agreement to use such a method during active SABR treatment.
Exclusion criteria
. Pregnancy.
. Contraindications to radiotherapy, including interstitial lung disease if thoracic radiation is planned; Crohn's disease if the gastrointestinal tract will receive radiotherapy; active connective tissue disorders such as scleroderma or uncontrolled lupus; moderate or severe liver dysfunction (Child Pugh B or C) if the patient has liver metastases.
. Prior radiation therapy to an area requiring treatment in the present study, if the composite dose would exceed normal tissue constraints specified by UC San Diego Radiotherapy Standards and Guidelines (published by the Department of Radiation Medicine and Applied Sciences), or by local institutional radiotherapy dose constraints for safety and efficacy.
. Malignant pleural effusion or malignant ascites.
. Leptomeningeal disease in the central nervous system.
. Metastatic disease in a site where it is not possible to safely treat with SABR to the doses specified in the trial.
. Any unresected metastasis \>5 cm in largest diameter or \>3 cm in the brain.
