Test targeted radiation to control many metastases safely
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a focused, high-precision type of radiation can control many cancer spread-out spots (“metastases”) at the same time, while keeping side effects acceptable. It may help people with many metastases live longer or have better disease control by aiming treatment at every treatable spot.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older, and you can understand and sign consent forms
- Your overall health is good enough for treatment (ECOG 0 to 2) and you have at least 6 months to live
- Your cancer has spread to multiple places on scans, and all known spots can be planned safely for radiation
- You have at least 11 metastases you can treat (and if the main tumor is treated, you may need at least 12 targets total)
- You can get a detailed scan work-up within 12 weeks (often brain MRI, plus whole-body imaging such as PET/CT)
- You’ll be off most cancer medicines (chemotherapy/targeted therapy/immunotherapy) for 3 months, unless it’s hormone treatment

This trial tests a precise, high-dose radiation technique (SABR) for people whose cancer has started to grow again in only a few spots despite ongoing medication. The goal is to control those new growths while continuing your current treatment.
This study tests a precise radiation technique called SABR to treat cancer that has spread to a few spots. It aims to see if this approach can help control the cancer better than usual treatment, especially for lung, prostate, colorectal, or other solid tumors with limited spread.
This trial tests whether a precise form of high-dose radiation can control up to 1–5 breast cancer metastases (spread) in a few body areas. It may help by focusing treatment only on visible spots while limiting radiation to the rest of the body.
This trial compares giving stereotactic ablative radiotherapy as one larger treatment plan versus several smaller plans for people who have only a few cancer spots (or a few spots that are worsening). It may help control metastatic disease while aiming to protect surrounding healthy organs.
This trial tests whether adding focused, high-dose radiation (SABR) to standard drug therapy can better control cancer that has spread to a few spots in the body. It is for people starting or resuming cancer medicines for newly found or growing metastases.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation that targets multiple tumor spots in a carefully planned way. It may help people with many metastatic (spread) solid tumors when standard treatments aren’t working or can’t be used.
