Carbon ion radiation for high-grade brain tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called carbon ion radiotherapy for people with aggressive brain tumors (high-grade gliomas). It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for patients who have not had radiation to the head before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 14 and 80 years old
- You have a high-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) confirmed by pathology
- You have not had radiation therapy to the head before
- You have no more than 2 brain tumors that can be covered by the same radiation plan
- You can lie still for 30 minutes and get an MRI or CT scan
- Your major organs (liver, kidneys, bone marrow) are working well enough

This trial tests a new type of radiation using carbon ions to treat large tumors in the chest that have come back or not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if this therapy is safe and effective for people who have few options.
This trial tests a type of radiation therapy that adjusts each day's treatment based on new MRI images taken between sessions. It is for people with high-grade glioma who are receiving the standard chemotherapy and radiation plan.
This early-phase study tests a type of very targeted radiation given before surgery for people with a high-grade (aggressive) brain tumor. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and potentially improves treatment, while collecting tumor and blood samples for research.
This trial tests a new type of targeted radiation therapy for people with high-grade glioma (grade 3 or 4) that has not progressed after standard treatment. The therapy uses a radioactive substance attached to a protein that targets tumor cells, aiming to deliver radiation directly to the cancer.
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy (proton beams vs. standard photon x-rays) for people with certain slow-growing brain tumors (gliomas) that have a specific gene change. The goal is to see which type better preserves thinking skills and quality of life while treating the tumor.
This trial tests proton radiation therapy given before surgery for people with a single, high-grade brain tumor. The goal is to see if pre-surgery radiation helps with treatment outcomes.
