MRI scans to guide radiotherapy for aggressive brain tumours
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way of using MRI scans to see which parts of a brain tumour are low on oxygen. This could help doctors target radiation therapy more precisely and improve treatment for people with fast-growing brain tumours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to be able to talk to the study team and follow the study rules.
- You must be willing to sign a form saying you understand and agree to take part.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan without problems, such as having metal in your body or being very afraid of small spaces.
- You must not have heart or lung disease that would make it unsafe to breathe extra oxygen from a mask.
- You cannot have had bleomycin chemotherapy before, and you must be able to receive gadolinium contrast dye.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study uses special MRI scans to measure oxygen levels in and around glioblastoma before and during radiation treatment. It may help researchers understand how oxygen affects treatment response and timing.
This study uses special MRI techniques to better understand how a high-grade brain tumor spreads into nearby brain tissue. The information may help doctors plan safer and more effective tumor removal.
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 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.
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.
