BACKGROUND: The optimal EBRT schedule for MSCC is undetermined. Our aim was to determine whether a single fraction (SF) was non-inferior to five daily fractions (5Fx), for functional motor outcome. METHODS: Patients not proceeding with surgical decompression in this multicentre non-inferiority, Phase 3 trial were randomised to 10 Gy/SF or 20 Gy/5Fx. A change in mobility from baseline to 5 weeks for each patient, was evaluated by a Modified Tomita score: 1 = 'Walk unaided', 2 = 'With walking aid' and 3 = 'Bed-bound'. The margin used to establish non-inferiority was a detrimental change of -0.4 in the mean difference between arms. RESULTS: One-hundred and twelve eligible patients were enrolled. Seventy-three patients aged 30-87 were evaluated for the primary analysis. The 95% CI for the difference in the mean change in mobility scores between arms was -0.12 to 0.6. Since -0.4 is not included in the interval, there is evidence that 10 Gy/SF is non-inferior to 20 Gy/5Fx. One grade 3 AE was reported in the 5Fx arm. Twelve (26%) patients in the 5Fx arm had a Grade 2-3 AE compared with six (11%) patients in the SF arm (p = 0.093). CONCLUSION: For mobility preservation, one 10-Gy fraction is non-inferior to 20 Gy in five fractions, in patients with MSCC not proceeding with surgical decompression.
