Comparing SBRT to CRT in Patients With Spinal Metastases
Spinal MetastasesThis is a single institutional registry-based, prospective, observational study to describe radiation oncologists' decision making during evaluation of patients and to compare real-world outcomes of SBRT vs CRT. A registry-based trial involves observing the effect of something without manipulating it.

Short Versus Long Intramedullary Nails in the Treatment of Proximal Femur Metastasis.
Bone MetastasesPathological Fracture4 moreThe goal of this interventional randomized controlled trial is to compare the clinical outcomes in treating extremities pathological fractures (fractures of limbs caused by metastatic tumors) or impending pathological fractures with short or long intramedullary nails. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the rate of developing new distant metastasis of the operated extremities? Does treating extremities (impending) pathological fractures with long intramedullary nails have lower or similar reoperation rate than the short nails? Are there any differences when comparing the surgical-related complication, functional outcomes and life quality assessment between treating extremities (impending) pathological fractures with long or short intramedullary nails. Participants who meet surgical indication will be randomized into either the long or short intramedullary nail group after informed consent. The patient will receive bone fixation with the corresponding prosthesis.
HER3-DXd in Breast Cancer and NSCLC Brain Metastases and Solid Tumor Leptomeningeal Disease
Metastatic Breast CancerAdvanced Non-Small Cell Squamous Lung Cancer2 moreThe goal of this phase II clinical trial] is to analyze the efficacy of patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) or advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) with active brain metastases (BM) who have received at least one line of systemic therapy in the advanced setting, or patients with active leptomeningeal carcinomatosis/disease (LMD) after radiotherapy from an advanced solid tumor who do not need immediate local treatment, and have not received prior treatment with an anti-HER3 targeted drug]. The main questions it aims to answer are: The intracranial objective response rate (ORR-IC) per local investigator as judged by best central nervous system (CNS) response according to Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Brain Metastases (RANO-BM) criteria of HER3-DXd in patients with active BM from MBC (Cohort 1) and aNSCLC (Cohort 2). The overall survival (OS) rate at 3 months of HER3-DXd in patients with advanced solid tumors with untreated LMD (Cohort 3). Participants will receive HER3-DXd on day (D1) of each 21-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or discontinuation from the study treatment for any other reason. Researchers will compare historical groups to see if HER3-DXd positively impacts patient outcomes.
Neoadjuvant vs. Intraoperative vs. Adjuvant Resection Cavity Radiotherapy of Brain Metastases
Brain MetastasesRadiotherapyPatients suffering from malignancies in advanced stages often develop brain metastases, which limit both the life span and the quality of life. Combining surgery and radiotherapy for resectable brain metastases is standard of care but there is a lot of controversy on which kind of radiotherapy is best suitable. Recently, first volumetric in-silico analyses point to theoretical advantages of neoadjuvant stereotactic radiotherapy of brain metastases. Special about this trial is the direct comparison between the three currently discussed radiotherapy options for resectable brain metastases: Neoadjuvant stereotactic radiotherapy, intraoperative radiotherapy and adjuvant stereotactic radiotherapy.

Hippocampal-Sparing Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment of Brain Metastases Using CyberKnife
Brain MetastasesRadiosurgeryThis phase II clinical trial involves the use of hippocampal-sparing together with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for the treatment of brain metastases. The standard of care in the treatment of brain metastases is cranial radiation, but this can be associated with significant neurocognitive sequelae, including reduced verbal memory, spatial memory, attention and problem solving. This can be minimized with the use of SRS, rather than whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). Additionally, some of the neurotoxicity has been linked to damage in neural progenitor cells contained within the hippocampus. A recent phase III clinical trial has demonstrated reduced neurocognitive decline with use of hippocampal-sparing techniques in WBRT. This trial aims to see if this can be further improved by combining SRS and hippocampal-sparing.

Intraoperative Radiotherapy in Treating Spinal Metastases
Spinal MetastasesIn order to provide theoretical evidence for the comprehensive and standardized treatment of spinal metastases with pathological fractures and/or spinal cord compression, the investigators conduct this trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of IORT and postoperative SBRT in adjuvant treatment of metastatic spinal tumors after posterior decompression surgery by recruiting patients with spinal metastases who met the inclusion criteria, and randomly divided them into the following treatment cohorts: 1) decompression surgery + IORT (15-20 Gy, 20-50min); 2) decompression surgery and postoperative SBRT(30Gy, 5 fractions, 3 weeks).
