Brief summary
This is an open label single arm phase 2 clinical trial in patients with metastatic solid malignancy of any histology who have previously experienced limited progression in at least 1 and up to 5 lesions while on immune checkpoint inhibitors monotherapy.
Detailed description
All potential subjects are required to undergo screening evaluation to determine eligibility within 28 days of study enrollment. Eligible subjects will continue the same immune checkpoint inhibitors on which they experienced limited progression and will also receive radiation therapy. radiation therapy for all subjects will consist of treating one tumor of the treating physician's preference, and after a 1-week interval during which immune checkpoint inhibitor is continued alone, radiation therapy will be given to a second and separate tumor. No additional radiation therapy will be delivered. immune checkpoint inhibitors will be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Diagnostic imaging studies will be performed to determine treatment response at baseline/screening, 8 weeks after initiation of radiation therapy to the first lesion and every 8 weeks thereafter. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell composition will be evaluated at various time points within 14 days of starting radiation therapy, on Day 8 (1 week after starting radiation therapy to the first lesion), Day 23 (1 week after starting radiation therapy to the second lesion), and 8 weeks after treatment initiation. A total of 52 subjects will be enrolled on this trial. The expected rate of accrual is 2 patients per month at a single institution over 26 months.
Interventions
Radiation therapy for all subjects will consist of treating one tumor of the treating physician's preference (40 Gray (Gy) in 5 fractions), and after a 1-week interval during which ICI is continued alone, radiation therapy will be given to a second and separate tumor (30 Gy in 5 fractions).

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. 18 years of age at the time of study entry. 2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0, 1, or 2. 3. Life expectancy of .12 weeks as estimated by the treating physician. 4. Metastatic carcinoma confirmed by biopsy or imaging study if biopsy is not deemed feasible. 5. Most recent anti-cancer therapy consists of a single ICI drug including but not limited to ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab. 6. Radiographic evidence of progression while on a single ICI drug in 1 and up to 5 lesions. 7.

Exclusion criteria
1. Any contraindication to having an MRI scan. 2. Chemotherapy, biologic agent, investigational therapy, or radiation therapy given within 14 days of study enrollment. 3. Symptomatic or uncontrolled brain metastasis requiring treatment. 4. The need for palliative radiation therapy to a non-target lesion prior to radiation therapy to one of 2 target lesion on this study. 5. Prior radiation therapy to any lesion that would receive radiation therapy on this protocol. 6.

Prior radiation therapy that could lead to an unacceptably high risk of clinically significant normal tissue injury due to high cumulative normal tissue dose as determined by the investigator. 8. History of any primary malignancy with the exception of 1. Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease for at least 3 years before enrollment on this study. 2.

Subjects requiring systemic corticosteroid (\>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medication within 14 days of study enrollment. 12. Contraindication to IV contrast despite premedication for iodine allergy, which would limit the ability to assess radiographic response to study treatment. 13. Prior allogeneic organ transplantation.

Outcome results
Change in Overall Response Rate (ORR) According to RECIST 1.1 Criteria
ORR is defined as the percent of participants who have a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) to therapy of non-irradiated lesions according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) criteria assessed on CT imaging. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease from baseline in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions AND for non-target lesions, no progression of existing lesions or appearance of new lesions.
Time frame: 6 months
Population: Six participants did not receive 6-month imaging and response evaluation. Five were taken off study due to disease progression (two), new AE that made them ineligible to continue (one), other ineligibility (one), or expiration (one). One participant had missed imaging.
