Comparing two radiation therapies for painful bone metastases
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to see whether a more targeted, high-dose approach (SBRT) works better than standard palliative radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a solid tumor (like lung, breast, prostate, etc.) or multiple myeloma that has spread to your bones.
- You have pain or discomfort in the bone area that will be treated.
- You have not had radiation to that same bone before.
- You do not have a current, untreated spinal cord compression at the treatment site.
- You do not have an unstable fracture at the treatment site (if a fracture is there, it must be stable or surgically fixed).

This trial studies a precise type of radiation given in multiple small sessions to treat bone metastases that are causing pain. It may help shrink or control the spots in the bone while aiming to reduce side effects by targeting the area closely.
This trial tests a single session of radiation therapy to relieve pain and improve stability in up to two bone spots where cancer has spread. The goal is to make treatment faster and more convenient for patients.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy early to high-risk but pain-free or nearly pain-free bone metastases can prevent future problems, compared to waiting and monitoring them. It is for people whose cancer has spread to multiple bones and who have certain risky features in those spots.
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 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 study looks at combining two treatments for painful bone tumors that have spread from other cancers. It tests if using both treatments together provides better pain relief than either alone.
