One-time radiation treatment for painful bone metastases
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have cancer that has spread to one or two bones causing pain or instability.
- You are well enough to be up and about (ECOG score 0-2).
- You had a CT scan within the last 60 days showing the affected bone(s).
- You agree to use effective birth control if you or your partner can have children.

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.
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 whether giving radiation therapy early to bone cancers that haven't caused pain yet can prevent serious problems later. You'd receive preventive treatment to 1–5 spots where cancer has spread to your bones, before they become painful or dangerous.
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 studies a type of focused radiation given in smaller parts to treat bone metastases from breast cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of pain or growth when standard treatments haven’t worked or surgery isn’t possible.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy to bones that have cancer spread—but are not yet causing pain or emergencies—can prevent future problems like fractures or nerve damage. It is for people with solid tumors and bone metastases that are at intermediate risk.
