NCT03858205: Low-Dose Radiotherapy in Treating Painful Bone Metastases in Patients With Multiple Myeloma

Low-Dose Radiotherapy in Treating Painful Bone Metastases in Patients With Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial studies how well low-dose radiotherapy works in treating bone pain in patients with multiple myeloma that has spread to the bone. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, or other sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Low-dose radiotherapy may be more convenient for patients and their families, may not interfere as much with the timing of chemotherapy, and may have less chance for short term or long-term side effects from the radiation.
