Study design:
● Multi-center, international, randomized, prospective, interventional 2-arm phase III study
Inclusion criteria:
● Confirmed cancer diagnosis Brain metastasis < 3 other brain metastases for single or multiple fraction radiosurgery No contraindication for MRI
Sample size:
●160 patients needed, target 200 due to competing risks
Endpoints:
● Primary endpoint: Incidence of leptomeningeal relapse at 12 months
● Secondary endpoint: Overall survival, neurological death, local control, quality of life
● Exploratory endpoints: Time to radiosurgery, time to neurosurgery, possible biomarker study
