Study of brain tumor thinking and MRI during radiation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study follows adults with a primary brain tumor to understand how thinking skills and brain images change over time during radiation therapy. It may help researchers measure treatment effects and better track brain changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You should be well enough to do daily activities (Karnofsky score 70 or higher)
- Your doctors expect you can live at least 1 year
- You have a primary brain tumor and will receive radiation to part of the brain in multiple sessions
- You must be able to complete memory and thinking tests (neurocognitive assessments)

This trial studies how radiotherapy affects memory and thinking in adults with certain brain or skull-base tumors. It may help doctors understand who is most likely to have thinking changes and how to monitor or support patients.
This study follows people with lower-grade (WHO grade 2 or less) brain tumors using repeat MRI scans over time. It helps doctors understand how these tumors change and which patients may safely delay treatment at first.
This study looks at how proton radiation therapy may affect thinking, learning, and brain function in children and teens with a primary brain tumor. It uses repeated short brain/learning tests to track possible changes over time.
This study looks for biomarkers in your blood that might predict how radiation treatment affects brain function. The goal is to understand and possibly reduce cognitive side effects.
This study tests a special MRI technique to better distinguish between tumor regrowth and radiation-related changes in people with brain tumors. If you've had radiation for a brain tumor and now have suspicious changes, this scan might help guide your next steps.
This study looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
