SMILE: Stereotactic Multiple Fraction Radiotherapy for Non-spine Bone Metastases
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To investigate, whether multi-fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) within 3 treatment fractions is non-inferior to the current standard of care of 5 fraction SBRT regarding pain response at 3 months after radiotherapy.

Experimental: SBRT with 9 Gy x 3 fractions to the treatment site. Patients will be treated with SBRT delivering 9 Gy x 3 fractions (BED10: 51.3 Gy) to the treatment site. |
Radiation: SBRT
Stereotactic multiple fraction radiotherapy

Active Comparator: SBRT with 7 Gy x 5 fractions to the treatment site Patients will be treated with SBRT delivering 7 Gy x 5 fractions (BED10: 59.5 Gy) to the treatment site. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Pain relief (response rate) measured with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) from Baseline to 3 months after treatment. [Baseline and 3 months after treatment]
The Visual Analog Scale is a validated, subjective measure for pain. Possible scores ranges between zero (no pain) and ten (worst possible pain). The primary endpoint was defined as pain relief > 2 points from Baseline to 3 months after treatment.
