Randomized Clinical Trials Demonstrating Improvements in Progression-Free Survival with the Addition of Metastasis-Directed Therapy

Author Disease site Timing of oligometastasis Oligometastatic definition Sample size Therapy Primary endpoint
Iyengar et al. (1) NSCLC Synchronous ≤6 metastases (including primary) 29 SABR to all sites of disease followed by maintenance chemotherapy vs. maintenance chemotherapy Median PFS, 9.7 vs. 3.5 mo favoring SABR
Gomez et al. (2) NSCLC Synchronous ≤3 metastases (not including primary) 49 LCT (surgery or RT) to all sites of disease followed by maintenance chemotherapy vs. maintenance chemotherapy Median PFS, 14.2 vs. 4.4 mo favoring LCT
Phillips et al. (3) CSPC Metachronous ≤3 metastases 54 SABR to all sites of disease vs. observation 6-mo disease progression, 19% vs. 61% favoring SABR
Ost et al. (4) CSPC Metachronous ≤3 metastases 62 MDT (surgery or RT) to all sites of disease vs. observation Median ADT-free survival, 21 vs. 13 mo favoring MDT
Palma et al. (5) Varied histology Metachronous ≤5 metastases 99 Standard of care + SABR vs. standard of care alone 5-y OS, 42.3% vs. 17.35 favoring SABR
EORTC 40004 (15) Colorectal Metachronous <10 metastases 119 Standard of care + LCT vs. standard of care alone Median OS, 45.6 mo vs. 40.5 mo favoring LCT

NSCLC = non–small cell lung cancer; PFS = progression-free survival; LCT = local consolidative therapy; RT = radiation therapy; CSPC = castration-sensitive prostate cancer; ADT = androgen deprivation therapy; OS = overall survival.
