IORT_BRAINM1: IORT After Surgical Resection of Brain Metastases
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) after the resection of a brain metastases to reduce the incidence of local relapse

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT) Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT) administered during surgery |
Radiation: Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT)
If biopsy is positive, local treatment with IORT will be performed. After IORT (15,40 Gray at 2 mm dept), the applicator will be removed and surgery will be continued in a standard fashion.
Procedure: Brain surgery
Surgery should be performed according to the local standard of care, preferentially as image-(neuronavigation) guided surgery. To establish the diagnosis of a metastasis and to exclude primary CNS tumors, lymphomas, SCLCs or germinomas it will be performed a peroperative biopsy

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Median local progression free survival (PFS) [12 months]
Time span (in months) between surgery and recurrence within a 0,5 cm margin around the resection cavity, evaluated through Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for brain metastasis obtained from serial Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Median regional PFS (rPFS) [12 months]
The time (in months) from surgery to any progression outside of the 0,5 cm margin around the resection cavity, evaluated through Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for brain metastasis obtained from serial Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
- Global PFS (gPFS) [12 months]
Time (in months) from surgery to any intra- and extracranial tumor progression evaluated through Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for brain metastasis obtained from serial Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
- Median time to the initiation of systemic therapies [12 months]
Time (in days) from surgery to the day of initiation of any systemic anti-tumor therapy (e.g., chemotherapy)
- Median overall survival (OS) [12 months]
Time (in months) from surgery of brain metastases to death by any cause
- Change in neurocognitive performance (compared to baseline): Minimental [6, and 12 months]
Assessed by minimal mental scale examination
- Change in neurocognitive performance (compared to baseline): Trail making [6, and 12 months]
Assessed by trail making test
- Change in neurocognitive performance (compared to baseline): Repetition [6, and 12 months]
Assessed by number repetition test (forward and backward)
- Change in neurocognitive performance (compared to baseline): Oral [6, and 12 months]
Assessed by controlled oral word association test
- Change in neurocognitive performance (compared to baseline): Semantic [6, and 12 months]
Assessed by semantic word association
- Quality of life (QoL) [6, and 12 months]
Assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment (EORTC)- Quality of Life Questionnaires (QLQ C30/BN20)
- Radiation-related (acute / early delayed / late) neurotoxicity [12 months]
Assessed by regular neurological examinations combined by serial MRI scans
