Pivotal Trial
No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial compares using intense local treatment to the usual approach of using only intravenous and/or oral medications to treat colorectal cancer spread to up to 4 sites.
Who is the study for?
Adults with colorectal cancer spread to up to 4 sites, excluding the brain and peritoneum. Must have had or be eligible for primary tumor resection, no more than 6 months of systemic therapy without disease progression, and meet specific health criteria like adequate blood counts and liver function.
What is being tested?
The trial is comparing usual systemic therapy (like IV chemotherapy) alone versus adding total ablative therapy (intense radiotherapy called SABR, possibly combined with surgery or microwave ablation) to see if it better controls cancer that has spread in a limited way.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions from radiotherapy such as skin irritation, fatigue, nausea; surgical complications like infection; microwave ablation risks including pain at the treatment site and damage to nearby organs.
