Radiosurgery for small, low-risk brain aneurysms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a precise form of radiation (radiosurgery) can safely prevent small, unruptured brain aneurysms from growing or bleeding. It is for people whose doctors have said to just watch their aneurysm, and who might want a more active treatment option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a small, unruptured brain aneurysm (less than 7 mm) in the front part of your brain.
- The aneurysm does not cause any symptoms.
- Your brain surgeon has recommended watching it rather than having surgery or a procedure.
- You have never had a brain aneurysm rupture before.
- The aneurysm is not touching the nerves that go to your eyes, and it is not a wide or unusual shape.

This study looks at a comprehensive treatment approach for people who have a confirmed brain (intracranial) subarachnoid aneurysm. It may help by comparing or improving how aneurysms are managed to reduce future bleeding risk.
This study looks at how well different scan measurements can predict the chance that an unruptured brain aneurysm may grow or bleed. It may help doctors estimate risk more accurately for people living with an aneurysm that hasn’t ruptured yet.
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.
This trial tests a special high-dose radiation treatment for people who have up to two large brain tumors (metastases) and possibly other smaller ones. The treatment aims to control the tumors while limiting radiation to healthy brain tissue.
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 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.
