PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At end of treatment; up to ~3 months

Population: 77 subjects enrolled, 70 subjects treated

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to approximately 6 months after initiation of SBRT

Population: 77 subjects enrolled, 70 subjects treated, 56 eligible for analysis (14 were excluded: 10- fractionated RT, 2- unable to complete follow up, 2- withdrew)

Rate of liver decompensation reported as the percentage of patients with a change in Child Pugh score of greater than or equal to 2 within 6 months of SBRT.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

Population: 77 subjects enrolled, 70 subjects treated, 9 eligible for analysis

The primary efficacy endpoint is local control, measured as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression of the treated (target) lesion(s). Patients with no evidence of local progression at the time of data analysis will be censored at the last date on which they were evaluated for local progression. Local progression will be summarized with Kaplan-Meier curves and reported with 95% confidence intervals.
