This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of spatiotemporal stereotactic body radiation therapy (ST-SBRT) in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other parts of the body (polymetastatic). SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. ST-SBRT is designed to deliver radiation directly to the core of the tumor, while keeping the radiation exposure of the area around the tumor at minimal dosage.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To conduct a first evaluation of the toxicity and efficacy of ST-SBRT, targeting polymetastatic lesions as small as 2.0 cm. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe feasibility using: Ia. Percentage of patients with screen failure; Ib. Number of ST-SBRT fractions given per subject; Ic. Percentage of treatment fractions that require adaptation. II. To summarize: IIa. Percentage of subjects with clinical response in non-irradiated lesions (abscopal effect); IIb. Duration of earliest clinical response; IIc. Frequency of late toxicity; IId. 1-year overall survival; IIe. 3-month change in total tumor volume; IIf. 3-month change in quality of life per Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)-General (G). III. To evaluate whether a lesion's irradiation status is associated with its change in volume after 4 weeks. IV. To compare alternate guidelines (Immune-Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[iRECIST\], Immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors \[irRECIST\], Positron Emission Tomography \[PET\] Response Criteria in Solid Tumors \[PERCIST\]) against Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 for ability to detect clinical response in irradiated and non-irradiated lesions. V. To evaluate whether, at 3 months after first treatment fraction, the net change in total tumor volume is associated with net change in quality of life (FACT-G). EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. To identify serologic markers correlated with net change in lesion volume. OUTLINE: Patients undergo ST-SBRT on study. Patients also undergo collection of blood samples at screening and on study and undergo computed tomography (CT) at screening, on study, and during follow up.

RECRUITINGIncidence of adverse events
Toxicity is defined as non-hematologic toxicity that is at least grade 3 (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version \[v\]5.0) and at least possibly related to the study treatment.
Time frame: Within 3 months after the last spatiotemporal stereotactic body radiation therapy (ST-SBRT) fraction
Effectiveness of ST-SBRT
Efficacy (corresponding to local treatment effect) is defined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 within an irradiated lesion, as detected by computed tomography (CT) scan 4 weeks after any ST-SBRT fraction and compared against the baseline CT scan performed prior to any study treatment.
Time frame: 4 weeks after any ST-SBRT fraction
Screen failures
Defined as an eligible, consenting subject in whom guidelines indicate that a first fraction of ST-SBRT cannot be safely given or who withdraws consent before treatment. The percentage of eligible subjects who are screen failures will be described using summary statistics.
Time frame: Up to 1 year
Number of ST-SBRT fractions received, per subject
Will be described using summary statistics.
Time frame: Up to 1 year
Number of treatment fractions that require adaptation
Includes adaptation to align the 10 Gy isodose line to the center of the target and limit dose to 3 Gy at the periphery. Will be described using summary statistics.
Time frame: Up to 1 year
Percentage of subjects who experience abscopal effect
Defined as CR or PR per RECIST v1.1 within a non-irradiated lesion, as detected by CT scan 4 weeks after any ST-SBRT fraction.
Time frame: 4 weeks after any ST-SBRT fraction
Overall survival
The length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for a disease, such as cancer, that patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive. In a clinical trial, measuring the overall survival is one way to see how well a new treatment works.
Time frame: Up to 1 year post initiation of study treatment
Change in quality of life
Evaluated using the Functional Assessment in Cancer Therapy - General.
Time frame: From baseline to 3 months after initial fraction
Change in volume (per lesion)
The intervention's effect over time on net change in each lesion's volume relative to pre-treatment baseline will be investigated using a linear mixed model.
Time frame: Baseline through 3 months after the first treatment fraction
Clinical response per fraction (per lesion)
Evaluated using RECIST v1.1, Immune-Modified RECIST (iRECIST), Immune-Related RECIST (irRECIST), and Positron Emission Tomography Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST). Three alternate guidelines (iRECIST, irRECIST, and PERCIST) will be compared to RECIST v1.1 on their ability to detect clinical response 4 weeks after a fraction of ST-SBRT, using a repeated measures logistic regression model fit by generalized estimating equation model.
Time frame: Baseline to after each treatment fraction (each cycle is 28 days)
