Radiation for growing brain tumors with same-day planning
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a precise, one-day radiation treatment for brain tumors that are growing or in tricky spots can be effective with a smaller safety margin. It's designed for people whose brain tumors are changing quickly or sitting near areas of swelling or recent surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a solid tumor cancer that has spread to the brain, and the brain tumor is growing quickly (at least 1mm per week on recent scans) or is very close to brain swelling or a recent surgery site.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are able to care for yourself most of the time (a score of 60 or higher on a scale that measures daily function).
- Your doctors expect you to live at least 3 to 6 months.
- You can have an MRI with contrast dye (gadolinium) and do not have end-stage kidney disease.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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.
This study tests a targeted radiation treatment for brain tumors that have spread from lung cancer and may not have responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this precise radiation approach can shrink these tumors and improve survival with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a new pattern of high-precision radiation (given over 3 days instead of 5) for people with a limited number of brain tumors from hard-to-treat cancers like melanoma or kidney cancer. The goal is to see if a shorter treatment schedule is just as effective and easier for patients.
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.
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.
