Pain REduction with bone metastases STereotactic radiotherapy (PREST): A phase III randomized multicentric trial.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Palliative antalgic treatments represent an issue for clinical management and a challenge for scientific research. Radiotherapy (RT) plays a central role. Techniques such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) were largely investigated in several phase 2 studies with good symptom response, becoming widely adopted. However, evidence from randomized, direct comparison of RT and SBRT is still lacking. METHODS/DESIGN:The PREST trial was designed as an interventional study without medicinal treatment. It is a phase 3, open-label, multicentric trial randomized 1:1. Inclusion criteria include painful spinal bone metastases presenting with a pain level?>?4 (or?>?1 if being treated with an analgesic) on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS); expected intermediate/high prognosis (greater than 6?months) according to the Mizumoto prognostic score; low spine instability neoplastic score (SINS) sores (
