SRS radiation for small cell lung cancer with brain spread
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have small cell lung cancer confirmed by biopsy/pathology
- Your brain MRI (with contrast) shows 1 to 20 brain metastases
- You are age 18 or older and can consent to the study
- You can have an MRI with contrast (you are not unable to safely get the scan)
- If you are able to become pregnant, you must not be pregnant; pregnancy blood test should be negative at enrollment

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.
This trial compares two types of radiation for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain (10 or fewer spots). One approach uses focused radiation only on the tumors, the other treats the whole brain while trying to protect memory. The goal is to see which works better with fewer side effects.
This study tests a type of radiation treatment for people with one or more brain tumors that are larger than usual (2 to 5 centimeters). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective, and may be an option if you are not having immediate 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.
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy for brain tumors that aims to protect your memory and thinking skills. It may be an option if you have certain brain tumors or a small number of brain metastases.
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.
