Testing brain function in people with brain metastases after radiosurgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how well your thinking and memory work after treatment with radiosurgery for brain metastases. It may help researchers understand which patients benefit best and how to monitor side effects on brain function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed solid cancer diagnosis in the body (certain types like small cell lung cancer are excluded)
- You have a good enough functional status and can complete study visits and brain testing (English is required)
- You have 1 to 10 brain metastases, and no more than two are large (cavities/lesions 3 cm or bigger)
- Your kidney function labs are adequate (creatinine and creatinine clearance meet thresholds)
- You can have safe pregnancy prevention: pregnancy test (if applicable) is negative and you use reliable birth control for 4 months after the last dose
- Your seizure control is stable (more than 1 seizure per week in the past 2 months is not allowed)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two stereotactic radiation strategies for patients who have intact (not previously radiated) brain metastases that are limited in size. It aims to see which approach works best in controlling the cancer while reducing side effects.
This study compares giving focused, high-precision radiation before or after surgery for brain metastases. It aims to see which timing works best to control tumors and improve outcomes.
This study looks at how cancer and its treatment affect thinking and memory. It may help find ways to protect brain function during radiotherapy.
This Phase 2 trial tests a brain radiation technique that aims to treat up to a few brain metastases while sparing areas important for thinking and memory. It may help people keep cognitive abilities better than with more brain-wide radiation approaches.
This trial tests giving focused radiation (radiosurgery) before surgery for certain resectable brain metastases. It may help shrink or control tumors in the brain before they are surgically removed.
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.
