Study acronym: OPTIMAL
Recruiting Phase 2
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
Spine SBRT is considered a standard of care for the treatment of spinal metastases. Compared to conventional radiation therapy, spine SBRT delivers high doses of radiation to the affected areas to the spinal metastases. This study is interested in seeing whether an additional 'boost' of radiation, delivered to the affected area in the spine, will result in better long-term control of the tumor; help reduce pain; and reduce long-term side effects of radiation therapy.
