Precision Brain Tumor Radiotherapy Using Advanced MRI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to plan and deliver radiation therapy for glioblastoma (an aggressive brain tumor) using special MRI scans to target cancer cells more precisely. The goal is to improve treatment effectiveness while reducing harm to healthy brain tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma (confirmed by biopsy)
- You are at least 18 years old and have a Karnofsky performance status (overall health/activity level) of at least 60
- Your blood counts, liver function, and kidney function are normal or near-normal
- You are able to have MRI scans (no metal implants that prevent MRI)
- If you can have children, you agree to use reliable birth control during the study and for 12 weeks after

This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
This trial tests whether using advanced MRI scans before radiation therapy can help doctors target the tumor more precisely and possibly improve outcomes for people with glioblastoma. It aims to make radiation treatment more personalized.
This study tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy for a type of aggressive brain tumor called glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma. Patients get MRI scans during each treatment so the radiation beam can be adjusted precisely, aiming to improve outcomes.
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 study looks at how metabolism in a child’s brain tumor changes during proton therapy, using special MRI scans. It may help doctors better understand treatment response and tailor care for pediatric high-grade gliomas.
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.
