Radiation for 4–10 brain metastases with a few tumor limits
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a local treatment approach (focused radiation) for people with multiple brain metastases. It may help by targeting several spots in the brain while keeping treatment within certain size and safety limits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older and can sign informed consent
- You have between 4 and 10 brain metastases seen on a recent MRI (within 4 weeks)
- Your largest single brain metastasis is no more than 3 cm across
- The total tumor size in the brain is limited (must be 30 cubic centimeters or less)
- You have good enough health/function (Karnofsky score 70+), and expected survival of at least about 3 months
- Your cancer type is a solid tumor (not lymphoma, germ cell tumor, small cell lung cancer, or multiple myeloma)

This Phase 2 study tests a quicker, more targeted way to give radiation to brain metastases. It aims to treat tumors while using regular scans to check how well the treatment controls disease and how you feel.
This study looks at people with a small number of brain metastases who are treated with a focused, staged form of radiation after surgery or to treat the cancer. It may help doctors better understand how well this approach works and who benefits most.
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 trial compares two ways of giving focused radiation to the brain for people with a limited number of brain metastases. It aims to see which schedule works best (and is likely best for costs and quality of life).
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.
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.
