Trial Outcomes & Findings for Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases (NCT NCT00811655)

NCT ID: NCT00811655

Last Updated: 2013-11-25

Results Overview

Number of patients with local recurrence at the surgical site within 12 months after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To determine local recurrence, we evaluated follow-up MRI's for reappearance of a lesion in exactly the same site in the brain as the first lesion(s).

Participant Flow

The subjects were consented and interviewed in a private room in the Duke clinics. The patients came to Duke Radiology Center, found to be eligible and then provided options by the neuro-radiologist. They were consented by the research nurse at one of these visits.

The only reason that enrolled participants were excluded from the trial prior to treatment assignment was if there were development of any exclusion criteria.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Within 12 months after SRS

Population: Intent-to-treat; 1 patient was not included in this analysis as they were unable to undergo surgery after SRS.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Administered at baseline and every 3 months post-SRS

Population: Data for this outcome was erroneously not gathered.

Quality of life as measured by the change in FACT-Br scores from baseline. The FACT-Br (version 4) is comprised of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G), a 27-item core questionnaire evaluating the domains of physical, family/social, emotional and functional well-being, with the addition of 23 brain cancer specific questions. The FACT-G total score is the sum of the four FACT-G domain scores. The Brain Cancer Subscale (BrCS) is the sum of 19 brain cancer specific questions. The FACT-Br Trial Outcome Index (TOI) is the sum of the BrCS score and the physical and family/social domain scores. The FACT-Br total score is the sum of the FACT-G total score and the BrCS score. Change score = score post-SRS minus the score at baseline. Positive change scores indicate improved quality of life.

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Administered at baseline and every 3 months post-SRS

Population: Data for this outcome was erroneously not gathered.

Cognition as measured by the change in the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) scores from baseline. The MMSE is an 11-item measure that tests five areas of cognitive function: orientation, registration, attention and calculation, recall and language. The maximum score is 30. Change score = score post-SRS minus the score at baseline. Positive change scores indicate improved cognition.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months post-SRS

Population: There are no patients for this analysis because none had a local recurrence.

Number of patients with clinical significance (mass effect, cognitive functioning, and other symptoms) of locally recurrent brain metastases at the time of their occurrence.

Outcome measures

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Within 24 months post-SRS

Population: Intent-to-treat

Number of patients who died due to neurological causes defined as death attributable to the progression of neurological disease.
