Brain scan tests for biomarkers in people with brain metastases
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies brain scan findings to see if specific imaging markers can help understand or predict outcomes in people with brain metastases. It may help researchers improve how brain metastases are evaluated before radiation treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with cancer by biopsy, and your brain scan fits with brain metastases.
- You have at least one brain spot that measures bigger than 1 cm and there is no scan evidence of bleeding.
- Your doctor plans for radiation (RT) to the brain metastases.
- You can have an MRI with contrast dye (and you are able and willing to consent).

This study tests a new MRI (brain scan) method to see how brain tumors change over time after treatment. There are also parts for healthy adults to help with developing and comparing the scan technique.
This study collects blood (and looks at samples) from adults who have a confirmed brain tumor, either one that started in the brain or one that spread to the brain. The goal is to understand biomarkers—signals in the body—that may help improve diagnosis or tracking over time.
This trial uses an MRI scan to look for early signs of breast cancer spreading to the brain in people with certain aggressive breast cancer types (triple-negative or HER2-positive) that are stage IIb or III. The goal is to find and treat brain metastases earlier, before they cause symptoms.
This early-phase study tests a special MRI scan using a safe tracer to see how brain metastases and brain metabolism change after SRS (a focused radiation treatment). It may help researchers find better ways to monitor treatment response in the brain.
This trial tests how well a special PET/MRI scan can help doctors evaluate gliomas and brain metastases. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment planning by comparing scan results with tissue samples or surgery findings.
This study tests whether regular brain scans (surveillance) help spot brain metastases early in people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Participation involves being randomly assigned to either routine brain scans or no extra scans to see which approach is better.
