Study Summary

This trial compares a new radiotherapy approach to usual care to see if it can improve outcomes in metastatic kidney cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with kidney cancer that has spread to 2-5 other body parts, who've had local treatment for the primary tumor and are in good physical condition (ECOG 0-2). They must not be pregnant, have brain metastases, severe allergies to certain antibodies, recent heart issues or surgeries. People with HIV or hepatitis can join if treated and controlled.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether using focused radiation (SAbR) before standard systemic therapy (like immunotherapy or molecular inhibitors) is more effective than systemic therapy alone for treating limited metastatic kidney cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions from radiotherapy like skin irritation and fatigue as well as those from systemic therapies such as immune-related reactions, nausea, liver function changes, and increased risk of infections.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm II (SAbR, usual care)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients undergo repeated SAbR until progression and then receive standard of care systemic therapy on study. Patients undergo CT or MRI throughout the trial.
Group II: Arm I (usual care)Active Control4 Interventions
Patients receive standard of care systemic therapy on study. Patients undergo CT or MRI throughout the trial.
