Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 290579 0
To determine that delivery of high dose stereotactic image guided radiotherapy for colo-rectal liver metastases can be performed in a multidisciplinary setting.

Safety
Statistical methods / analysis
Considering that the percentage of participants having no major violation and less than 4 minor violations will be 90% and considering an unacceptable percentage as 70% or less, the required sample size for 80% power is 28 participants. Allowing for potential drop out of 2 participants a total sample size of 30 participants will be recruited.
Major and minor violations for each treatment course will be described and the 95% CI will be reported for the unacceptable rate of 1 major and/or 4 minor treatment violations.
Means and their 95% confidence intervals for each outcome will be used to assess variability of TCP/NTCP between each dose strata. Multilevel models will be used to account for and investigate centre level differences in the outcomes. Interclass correlation as well as mixed modelling will be used to assess potential variation.
Different NTCP/TCP models will be used to determine estimated TCP/NTCP for each patient and the variance detected between the models using linear regression. The model parameters will be adjusted to provide line of best fit for each strata comparing decline in liver function (HIDA) and observed tumour control.

Summary
Brief summary
Colo-rectal cancer is increasing in the community and the most common site of spread is to the liver. Isolated liver deposits can be cured by surgery. For patients not fit or suitable for surgery other options need to be investigated.
This clinical trial is investigating the use of stereotactic image guided radiotherapy for the treatment of colorectal liver metastases.

Who is it for? This study will recruit participants that are aged 18 years or above and have up to 5 medically or surgically inoperable colorectal cancer liver metastases.

Study details: All participants in this study will undergo stereotactic radiation therapy. This is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to more precisely deliver radiation to a tumour. Six radiotherapy sessions will be delivered over 2-3 weeks. Participants will be assessed for 3 years post treatment in order to evaluate treatment safety and disease response.
