Consensus Guidelines for Clinical Trial Design

The Radiosurgery Society® (RSS) supports collaborative groups and individuals to develop and share clinical and research protocols for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and emerging advanced therapy modalities.

The Consensus Guidelines for Clinical Trial Design is a new platform for expert groups to post consensus concepts on proposed clinical trial recommendations and solicit review and feedback from the medical, physics and science community through the RSS Public Comment Survey. The goal of the Consensus Guidelines for Clinical Trial Design is to encourage the development of clinical trials in SRS/SBRT and advanced radiation therapy modalities through common understanding and consensus on the design elements of clinical trials.

New Publication

Consensus Guideline Projects

SFRT for Gynecologic Cancer

Consensus Guideline for the Design of Clinical Trials in Spatially Fractionated Radiation Therapy for Gynecologic Cancer

Spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT) using GRID and LATTICE therapy, the treatment of tumors with a highly non-uniform dose, has shown much promise in early clinical studies for improving tumor control and reducing side effects in bulky advanced cancers. However, prospective multi-institutional clinical trials to investigate this technique further are needed.

The RSS GRID, LATTICE, Microbeam and FLASH Radiotherapy Working Groups have established an SFRT Clinical Trial Design Consensus effort to help encourage and streamline the development of clinical trials in SFRT for specific tumors. Download an overview of the consensus guideline development process.

The Consensus Guideline for the Design Clinical Trials in SFRT for Gynecologic Cancer has been developed by an Expert Panel of the Working Groups. 

The Public Comment Period on the Clinical Trial Design in SFRT for Gynecologic Cancer is now closed. Thank you to those who participated.
