Study Summary
This trial is studying two ways of giving high-dose radiation for treatment of cancer that has spread to bone, the spine, soft tissue, or lymph nodes. One way is 27 Gy in three fractions (3 days) and the other is 24 Gy in one fraction (1 day).
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Stage IV cancer that has spread to bone, spine, soft tissue, or lymph nodes. They must have a confirmed diagnosis of cancer like carcinoma, sarcoma, or melanoma and measurable disease. Participants need good physical functioning (KPS ≥ 80) and normal bone marrow function. Pregnant women or those breastfeeding are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways of delivering high-dose radiation using IG-IMRT: one group receives a single dose of 24 Gy in one day; the other gets 27 Gy across three days. The goal is to see which method is more effective for treating metastatic cancer at specific sites.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include skin reactions at the treatment site, fatigue due to radiation exposure, possible acute pain flare-ups post-treatment in treated areas, and general discomfort associated with MRI procedures if applicable.

Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
To compare the loco-regional control rates of two established hypo-fractionated radiation treatment regimens
Secondary outcome measures
To compare patterns of failure between these two cohorts.
To compare toxicity outcomes
To look at changes in SUV uptake as a measure of tumor response.
