Tested different radiation doses for brain metastases

Brain Metastases

Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.

This Phase 1 study tests how to safely give focused radiation (SRS) at different doses to people with brain metastases. It aims to find a dose level that works well while limiting side effects.

Who can take part

  • You have brain metastases confirmed on CT or MRI
  • You have 1 to 5 untreated brain metastases
  • The target lesion (and sometimes all lesions) must fit size rules on CT/MRI
  • Your tumors must be at least 3 cm apart from each other
  • You can’t have had whole-brain radiation before
  • You must be 18+ and well enough for treatment (Karnofsky score 60+), and be able to consent

Focused radiation for 1 to 5 brain metastases without surgery

This Phase 2 study tests a precise, no-head-frame radiation technique to treat brain metastases. It may help by aiming radiation tightly at the tumors while limiting exposure to nearby healthy brain.

Targeted radiation for brain metastases using staged stereotactic treatment

This Phase 1 study tests a form of focused radiation given in stages to shrink larger brain metastases. It may help people whose tumors are in the brain but not suited to whole-brain radiation alone, while also checking safety and how well the treatment can be delivered.

NCT06649058Recruiting· Phase 2
Study on combining drugs and radiation for brain metastases

This trial is for people with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). It tests a new approach where you start a systemic therapy (drugs that travel through your body) and later add focused radiation to the brain tumors, instead of treating them right away. The goal is to see if this sequence works well and avoids unnecessary side effects.

SRS radiation for small cell lung cancer with brain spread

This Phase 2 trial tests a type of focused radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery, or SRS) for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It looks at whether this approach can treat brain metastases when the cancer has limited to a certain number of spots.

Targeted brain radiation to improve treatment benefit and limit side effects

This study tests a more targeted form of stereotactic (precise) brain radiation for people with brain metastases from large cell cancer. It aims to improve the balance between effectiveness and side effects by carefully focusing where the radiation goes.

Leidschendam, South Holland
NCT06992973Recruiting
Radiation before surgery for large brain metastases

This trial tests a new approach for people with a single large brain tumor that has spread from another cancer. You would receive a short, focused dose of radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) in small, separate treatments, followed by surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the usual treatment.
