Determining Planning Priorities for SABR for Oligometastatic Disease: A Secondary Analysis of the SABR-COMET Phase II Randomized Trial.

SABR may improve survival in patients with oligometastases, but for some lesions, safe delivery of SABR may require a reduction in delivered dose or target coverage. This study assessed the association between target coverage compromise and oncologic and survival outcomes. Patients with a controlled primary malignancy and 1 to 5 oligometastases were randomized (1:2) between standard of care (SOC) treatment and SOC plus SABR. In patients receiving SABR, the target dose coverage was reduced to meet organ at risk (OAR) constraints, if necessary. The D99 value (minimum dose received by the hottest 99% of the planning target volume [PTV]) was used as a measure of PTV coverage for each treatment plan, and the relationship between the coverage compromise index (CCI, defined as D99/prescription dose) and patient outcomes was assessed. Sixty-two patients in the SABR arm had dosimetric information available and a total of 109 lesions were evaluated. The mean CCI per lesion was 0.96 (95% CI, 0.56-1.61). Of the 109 lesions evaluated, 29.4% (n = 32) required coverage compromise (CCI <0.9). Adrenal metastases required coverage compromise in 100% of analyzed lesions (n = 7). CCI was not significantly associated with lesional control, adverse events, overall survival (OS), or progression-free survival (PFS). Target compromise was required in a substantial minority of cases, but PTV coverage was not associated with OS, progression-free survival, or lesional control. This suggests that OAR constraints used for SABR treatments in the oligometastatic setting should continue to be prioritized during planning.
