Why the data was released

Objective for processing

SCORAD III: A randomised phase III trial of single fraction radiotherapy compared to multifraction radiotherapy in patients with metastatic spinal cord compression

This trial aims to determine whether patients with spinal cord compression can maintain or regain the ability to move and walk as well after one dose of radiotherapy as after five doses.

It will also examine whether they have similar quality of life and tolerance to treatment regardless of which treatment they receive. It will evaluate single fraction radiotherapy against multifraction radiotherapy in terms of ambulatory status, function, quality of life and toxicity to 3 months and survival to 12 months. This trial is attractive to radiotherapists because either treatment is simple to deliver. Furthermore, the single fraction regimen requires fewer NHS resources, results in both a reduced hospital stay and less movement for patients with spine damage and shortened waiting lists as radiotherapy slots are freed.
