    CURRENT SITES CREDENTIALED: SJMH (AA, Brighton, Canton, Chelsea), Livonia, Saginaw St. Mary's, and SJMO; St. John, Macomb, Genesys, 

    Eligibility Criteria:

    Patient Pre-Entry and Randomization

    For the NRG-BR007 study, patients with a T1a tumor (≤0.5 cm in size) who do not have an Oncotype DX Recurrence Score must have a tissue sample sent to Genomic Health for a Recurrence Score to determine eligibility. For these patients, Genomic Health will cover the cost of the test.

     Pre-Entry (ALL patients)

    • Step 1: All patients will have to be registered in NRG-BR007 before being randomized.

    • The authorized site staff must obtain a signed consent form from the potential patients before any study specific procedures are performed.

    • The authorized site staff must determine patient eligibility. See Sections 3.2 and 3.3.

    • During Pre-Entry in OPEN, patients will be assigned a unique patient identifier which will be used to identify the sample to be sent for central Oncotype DX Recurrence Score testing (for patients with a T1a tumor (≤0.5 cm in size) who have not had a Recurrence Score), the eCRFs in Medidata RAVE, and any other trial-related communications. See Section 10.0 and the NRG-BR007 Pathology and Correlative Science Instructions for ordering the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score test.

    • Patients who already have a Recurrence Score result of ≤ 18, will be registered in Step 1 and go straight to randomization in Step 2.

    • When a Recurrence Score result of ≤ 18 is received on central testing for patients with a T1a tumor (≤ 0.5 cm in size), the patient should be randomized. Patients who do not have a Recurrence Score result of ≤ 18 by central testing will not be randomized, will be treated per investigator discretion, and will not be followed on BR007. 

    Randomization (ALL patients)

    • Step 2: If a patient meets all eligibility requirements, the authorized site staff will randomize the patient using OPEN.

    • OPEN will randomly assign treatment (breast radiation therapy + endocrine therapy or no breast radiation + endocrine therapy) 

    **A patient cannot be considered eligible for this study unless ALL of the following conditions are met. -The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry and, for patients treated in the U.S., authorization permitting release of personal health information.  

    - The patient must be ≥ 50 years and < 70 years of age.

    - The patient must have undergone a lumpectomy and the margins of the resected specimen or reexcision must be histologically free of invasive tumor and DCIS with no ink on tumor as determined by the local pathologist. If pathologic examination demonstrates tumor at the line of resection, additional excisions may be performed to obtain clear margins. (Patients with margins positive for LCIS are eligible without additional resection.)

    - The tumor must be unilateral invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast on histologic examination.

    - Patient must have undergone axillary staging (sentinel node biopsy and/or axillary node dissection).

    - The following staging criteria must be met postoperatively according to AJCC 8th edition criteria:

    • By pathologic evaluation, primary tumor must be pT1 ( ≤ 2 cm).

    • By pathologic evaluation, ipsilateral nodes must be pN0. (Patients with pathologic staging of pN0(i+) or pN0(mol+) are NOT eligible.)

    - Oncotype DX Recurrence Score of ≤ 18 on diagnostic core biopsy or resected specimen.**

    ** For patients with a T1a tumor (≤ 0.5 cm in size) who do not already have an Oncotype DX Recurrence Score at study entry, a specimen (unstained blocks or slides) must be sent to the Genomic Health centralized laboratory.

    - The tumor must have been determined to be ER and/or PgR positive assessed by current ASCO/CAP Guideline Recommendations for hormone receptor testing. Patients with ≥ 1% ER or PgR staining by IHC are considered positive.

    - The tumor must have been determined to be HER2-negative by current ASCO/CAP guidelines.

    - Patients may be premenopausal or postmenopausal at the time of study entry. For study purposes, postmenopausal is defined as:

    CURRENT SITES CREDENTIALED: SJMH (Ann Arbor, Brighton), Saginaw

    ***SJMH: Patients randomized to the SRS arm can ONLY be treated in Ann Arbor.*** 

    Eligibility Criteria:

    *A patient cannot be considered eligible for this study unless ALL of the following conditions are met.

    - Pathologically (histologically or cytologically) proven diagnosis of small cell lung cancer within 5 years of registration. If the original histologic proof of malignancy is greater than 5 years, then pathological (i.e., more recent) confirmation is required (e.g., from a systemic or brain metastasis);

    o Patients with de novo or recurrent small cell lung cancer are permitted. 

    Ten or fewer brain metastases ≤3cm in largest diameter and outside a 5-mm margin around either hippocampus must be visible on contrast-enhanced MRI performed ≤21 days prior to study entry.

    o Brain metastases can be diagnosed synchronous to the initial diagnosis of small cell lung cancer or metachronous to the initial diagnosis and management of small cell lung cancer.

    o The total tumor volume must be 30 cm3 or less. Lesion volume will be approximated by measuring the lesion’s three perpendicular diameters on contrastenhanced, T1-weighted MRI and the product of those diameters will be divided by 2 to estimate the lesion volume (e.g. xyz/2). Alternatively, direct volumetric measurements via slice by slice contouring on a treatment planning software package can be used to calculate the total tumor volume.

    o Brain metastases must be diagnosed on MRI, which will include the following elements:

    REQUIRED MRI ELEMENTS

    • Post gadolinium contrast-enhanced T1-weighted three-dimensional (3D) spoiled gradient (SPGR). Acceptable 3D SPGR sequences include magnetizationprepared 3D gradient recalled echo (GRE) rapid gradient echo (MP-RAGE), turbo field echo (TFE) MRI, BRAVO (Brain Volume Imaging) or 3D Fast FE (field echo). The T1-weighted 3D scan should use the smallest possible axial slice thickness, not to exceed 1.5 mm.

    • Pre-contrast T1 weighted imaging (3D imaging sequence strongly encouraged).

    • A minimum of one axial T2 FLAIR (preferred) or T2 sequence is required. This can be acquired as a 2D or 3D image. If 2D, the images should be obtained in the axial plane. 

    ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS

    • Recommendation is that an axial T2 FLAIR (preferred) sequence be performed instead of a T2 sequence.

    • Recommendation is that that pre-contrast 3D T1 be performed with the same parameters as the post-contrast 3D T1.

    • Recommendation is that imaging be performed on a 3 Tesla (3T) MRI.

    • Recommendation is that the study participants be scanned on the same MRI instrument at each time point.

    • Recommendation is that if additional sequences are obtained, these should meet the criteria outlined in Kaufmann et al., 2020.

    • If additional sequences are obtained, total imaging time should not exceed 60 minutes. See Appendix IV for a summary of key imaging requirements, and contact the Principal Investigators and Imaging Co-Chairs for further information or assistance if needed.

    - History/physical examination within 28 days prior to registration;

    - Age ≥ 18;  

    Karnofsky Performance Status of ≥70 within 28 days prior to registration;

    -Adequate renal function within 28 days prior to registration defined as follows:

    • Creatinine clearance ≥30 ml/min

    - Following the diagnosis of brain metastases, patients can initiate and treat with systemic (chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy) before enrollment only if their brain metastases are asymptomatic and not located in eloquent locations (e.g., brainstem, pre-/post-central gyrus, visual cortex). However, within 21 days prior to enrollment, brain MRI must be repeated to confirm eligibility.

    o Patients with symptomatic brain metastases and/or brain metastases in eloquent locations (e.g., brainstem, pre-/post-central gyrus, visual cortex) are eligible for enrollment on the trial; however, the specific treatment approach of starting with systemic therapy alone and delaying brain radiation is not recommended for these patients.

    - Concurrent immunotherapy with brain radiation (SRS or HA-WBRT) is permitted.

    - Negative urine or serum pregnancy test (in women of childbearing potential) within 14 days prior to registration. Women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active must use contraception while on study.

    - Patients may have had prior intracranial surgical resection. Patients must have completed prior intracranial surgical resection at least 14 days prior to registration.

    - Because neurocognitive testing is the primary goal of this study, patients must be proficient in English or French Canadian.

    - The patient must provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry.

    • Patients with impaired decision-making capacity are not permitted on study.  

    Eligibility Criteria Prior to Step 2 Registration

    - The following baseline neurocognitive tests must be completed within 21 days prior to Step 2 registration: HVLT-R, TMT, and COWA. The neurocognitive tests will be uploaded into RAVE for evaluation by Dr. Wefel. Once the upload is complete, within 1 business day a notification will be sent via email to the RA to proceed to Step 2. NOTE: Completed baseline neurocognitive tests can be uploaded at the time of Step 1 registration.

    - Ineligibility Criteria Patients with any of the following conditions are NOT eligible for this study.

    - Planned infusion of cytotoxic chemotherapy on the same day as SRS or HA-WBRT treatment. Patients may have had prior chemotherapy. As noted in 3.1.8, concurrent immunotherapy is permitted.

    - Prior allergic reaction to memantine.

    - Intractable seizures while on adequate anticonvulsant therapy; more than 1 seizure per month for the past 2 months.

    - Patients with definitive leptomeningeal metastases.

    - Known history of demyelinating disease such as multiple sclerosis

    - Contraindication to MR imaging such as implanted metal devices that are MRIincompatible, allergy to MRI contrast that cannot be adequately addressed with pre- contrast medications, or foreign bodies that preclude MRI imaging. (Questions regarding MRI compatibility of implanted objects should be reviewed with the Radiology Department performing the MRI).

    - Current use of (other NMDA antagonists) amantadine, ketamine, or dextromethorphan

    - Radiographic evidence of hydrocephalus or other architectural change of the ventricular system resulting in significant anatomic distortion of the hippocampus, including placement of external ventricular drain or ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

    • Mild cases of hydrocephalus not resulting in significant anatomic distortion of the hippocampus are permitted

    - Prior radiotherapy to the brain, including SRS, WBRT, or PCI 3.3.10 Severe, active co-morbidity defined as follows:

    • Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 6 months

    • Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months

    • Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration

    • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other acute respiratory illness precluding study therapy at the time of registration

    CURRENT SITES CREDENTIALED:  SJMH (AA, Brighton, Canton, Chelsea), Livonia, Genesys, St. John, Macomb, Saginaw, LVHN, Sparrow, SJMO, Holy Cross

    Eligibility Criteria: 

    Patient Entry and Randomization

    The following sections outline procedures for Study Entry and Randomization.

    Step 1: Study Entry and ctDNA assay testing.

    • The authorized site staff must obtain signed informed consent from the potential patient before any study specific procedures are performed.

    • The authorized site staff must determine patient eligibility by completing the assessments on Table 1 that are required prior to study entry. See Sections 3.2 and 3.3.

    • Step 1 Entry in OPEN: Patients will be assigned a unique patient identifier which will be used to identify the blood and tumor samples to be sent for central Signatera? ctDNA testing for patients who have not had ctDNA testing performed using the Signatera? assay as routine care outside the study and for those patients who already have had a ctDNA status performed using the Signatera? assay as routine care outside of the study, the eCRFs in Medidata RAVE, and any other trial-related communications.

    Step 2: Randomization

    • Following ctDNA assay testing, the authorized site staff will randomize the patient using OPEN. For the patients who had their ctDNA status checked with the Signatera? assay as routine care outside of the study, the ctDNA test result from the central testing will be the result used to place the patients in Cohort A or Cohort B. When the result of the central ctDNA testing is not the same as the result of the Signatera? assay done as routine care outside of the study, the patient/physician may choose not to proceed with participation in the study.

    • OPEN will randomly assign treatment by cohort (ctDNA-ve or ctDNA+ve).

    Second Randomization (Cohort A-Arm 2 patients who convert to ctDNA +ve)

    • Cohort A-Arm 2 patients who develop a positive ctDNA assay during serial monitoring will transition to the ctDNA+ ve cohort (Cohort B) and undergo a second randomization to Arm 3 or Arm 4 treatment.

    • The authorized site staff must determine patient eligibility (see Section 3.4).

    • Patients must reaffirm their willingness to be enrolled in Cohort B and randomized to Arm 3 or 4 after review of the current consent form and signing a reaffirmation form.

    • OPEN will randomly assign patient to Arm 3 or Arm 4.

     Eligibility Criteria

    A patient cannot be considered eligible for this study unless ALL of the following conditions are met.

    - The patient must have signed and dated an IRB-approved consent form that conforms to federal and institutional guidelines.

    - The patient must be ≥ 18 years old.

    - The patient must have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 (see Appendix A).

    - Patients must have histologically/pathologically confirmed Stage IIIA or Stage IIIB colon adenocarcinoma (T1-3, N1/N1c) with R0 resection accordingly to AJCC 8th edition criteria. NOTE: Patients with pathologic stages II or IIIC colon adenocarcinoma with R0 resection who have a commercially obtained Signatera? ctDNA+ve assay result post-operatively meeting all timelines and eligibility requirements otherwise, are eligible for enrollment and inclusion in Cohort B.

    - No radiographic evidence of overt metastatic disease within 28 days prior to study entry (CT with IV contrast or MRI imaging is acceptable and must include chest, abdomen, and pelvis).

    - The distal extent of the tumor must be ≥ 12 cm from the anal verge on colonoscopy or above the peritoneal reflection as documented during surgery or on pathology specimen (i.e., excluding rectal adenocarcinomas warranting treatment with chemoradiation).

    - The patient must have had an en bloc complete gross resection of tumor (curative resection). Patients who have had a two-stage surgical procedure, to first provide a decompressive colostomy and then in a later procedure to have the definitive surgical resection, are eligible.

    -The resected tumor specimen and a blood specimen from patients with Stage IIIA or Stage IIIB colon cancer must have central testing for ctDNA using the Signatera assay by Natera. NOTE: Patients with stage IIIA or IIIB colon cancer who otherwise meet eligibility criteria and have had ctDNA status checked with the Signatera? assay as routine care outside of the study, are allowed to be enrolled, and will be retested and placed in either Cohort A or Cohort B depending on the central ctDNA testing result. NOTE: Patients with stage II or IIIC colon cancer who otherwise meet eligibility criteria and have had ctDNA status checked with the Signatera? assay as routine care outside of the study AND have a ctDNA+ve result, are allowed to be enrolled. Patients will have central ctDNA testing, confirmed to be ctDNA+ve, and placed in Cohort B.

    -Tumor must be documented as microsatellite stable or have intact mismatch repair proteins through CLIA-approved laboratory testing. Patients whose tumors are MSI-H or dMMR are excluded.
