An interventional study of SBRT in Radiation Therapy, Bone Metastases and Pain, sponsored by Kantonsspital Winterthur KSW. Recruiting at 2 sites in Switzerland. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-05-22.
Sponsored by Kantonsspital Winterthur KSW · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
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.
10,054 studies on the registry are indexed under Pain; 1,649 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 162 is above the median of 66 across 8,493 interventional studies indexed under Pain.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Patients will be treated with SBRT delivering 9 Gy x 3 fractions (BED10: 51.3 Gy) to the treatment site.
Radiation: SBRT
Patients will be treated with SBRT delivering 7 Gy x 5 fractions (BED10: 59.5 Gy) to the treatment site.
Radiation: SBRT
Stereotactic multiple fraction radiotherapy
Pain relief (response rate) measured with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) from Baseline to 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.
Time frame: Baseline and 3 months after treatment

Started Jun 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2025, 35 months after the start.
Of 3,731 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pain, half reached primary completion within 10 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 23. This study's planned 35 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,830 studies reached it within 10 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 23.
