Higher-dose radiation to ease pain from metastatic tumors
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a stronger (higher-dose) radiation plan can better reduce pain from tumors that have spread to bone or other areas. It’s meant to help people live more comfortably by targeting painful spots while avoiding certain high-risk situations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older and able to sign consent
- A doctor must confirm your cancer diagnosis and show tumors have spread (bone or non-bone metastases)
- Your pain must be at least moderate (pain score 3 or higher)
- Your expected life span must be about 6 months or more
- Your health/activity level must be significantly limited (ECOG performance status 3 or higher)
- You must be willing and able to follow the study plan, including any birth-control rules if applicable

This Phase 2 study tests a precise radiation treatment (spine SBRT, also called radiosurgery) to reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It focuses on people with stable spine structure and low pain at the start, to see how well the treatment works and stays safe.
This trial tests a higher dose of radiation to shrink large tumors and relieve pain in people with advanced cancer. It aims to improve quality of life by targeting up to three large tumors with a single treatment.
This trial tests two different radiation therapy schedules to see which better relieves pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to improve quality of life with fewer side effects.
This trial studies whether low-dose radiation can reduce pain from a specific bone lesion caused by multiple myeloma. It may help people whose main problem is painful bone metastasis, with targeted treatment to the painful spot.
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy—standard palliative radiation and a more targeted high-dose treatment (SBRT)—to see which better relieves pain from bone metastases that have spread outside the spine. It is for people with solid tumors who have a painful bone spot and are expected to live at least 6 months.
This trial tests a higher dose of radiation (a boost) to painful spots in the spine where cancer has spread. The goal is to see if it can better relieve pain and improve function.
