Expert team review for cancer that has spread to the brain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study is for people whose cancer has spread to the brain. It involves a team of specialists (a tumor board) reviewing your case to recommend the best treatment. The study includes people with breast, lung, melanoma, kidney, or GI cancers. You should be in fairly good health and able to care for yourself. If you have serious uncontrolled health problems, you may not be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer that has spread to the brain.
- Your type of cancer is one of the following: breast, lung (non-small cell), melanoma, kidney, or gastrointestinal (GI).
- You are able to take care of yourself (ECOG score 0-3).
- You are expected to live longer than 2 months.
- You do not have serious uncontrolled medical conditions like active infection, heart failure, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or mental health issues that could interfere with the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is for people with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). It tests a new approach where you start a systemic therapy (drugs that travel through your body) and later add focused radiation to the brain tumors, instead of treating them right away. The goal is to see if this sequence works well and avoids unnecessary side effects.
This trial tests tumor samples from brain metastases to see which drug might work best for you. It aims to guide your next treatment when standard options are limited.
This study looks at factors that affect survival in breast cancer patients whose cancer has spread to the brain. The goal is to learn more about what influences outcomes, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
This trial studies people with solid tumors that have spread to the brain (including the brain lining) to help researchers learn what works and how best to treat it. You may be asked for blood/tissue samples and a procedure to collect spinal fluid when brain metastases are diagnosed.
This study looks at whether routine brain scans can help manage breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It aims to find brain metastases early in people with certain types of high-risk breast cancer, even before symptoms appear.
This study is for people with breast cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord (called leptomeningeal metastasis). Researchers want to understand how to treat this condition and offer care to those who qualify.
