MR-guided targeted radiation for limited-spine spinal metastasis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests an MRI-guided radiation machine (an MR LINAC) to deliver very focused treatment to spine tumors. It may help by improving accuracy while treating up to a small number of spine levels affected by cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have documented cancer in the spine within the last 4 weeks
- Your care team thinks you are a candidate for focused spine radiation (SRS/SBRT)
- No more than 3 neighboring (contiguous) spine levels are planned for treatment
- Your arm or leg strength where the spine affects you is at least “fair” (4 out of 5)
- You have enough overall function (Karnofsky 40+ or ECOG 3 or less)

This trial tests a precise radiation technique for people whose spinal tumors are very close to the spinal cord or nerves. It aims to safely give higher radiation doses while limiting damage to the cord.
This study tests whether radiation given after limited surgery helps control cancer that has spread to a small area of the spine. It may help reduce tumor growth in the treated spine area and improve local control after operation.
This trial tests whether giving radiation to a spine metastasis in one dose works as well as giving it in two smaller doses. It aims to control tumors while keeping side effects and risk to the spinal cord low.
This trial tests a combination treatment that uses a laser and focused radiation to shrink tumors in the spine and help stabilize the area near the spinal cord. It’s meant for adults with certain types of solid cancers that have limited spread in the spine and who are not good candidates for surgery.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation therapy for cancer that has spread to the spine. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective in reducing the tumor while protecting your spinal cord and improving your quality of life.
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy for spinal cord compression caused by cancer. It uses daily MRI scans to target the radiation more precisely, which may help protect the spinal cord and improve outcomes.
