This trial is testing how much radiation patients with brain metastases can tolerate when receiving stereotactic radiosurgery.
See full description
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with 1-5 untreated brain metastases, each no larger than 40 mm. They must have a performance status indicating they can care for themselves and agree to use birth control during and after the study. People who've had prior brain radiation or whose tumors are in sensitive areas like the optic nerve or brain stem cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests increasing doses of stereotactic radiosurgery (a precise form of radiation therapy) to find the highest dose patients with new brain metastases can tolerate without severe side effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include headaches, nausea, fatigue, hair loss at treatment site, swelling around the tumor which might cause neurological issues depending on location, and very rarely radiation necrosis where treated tissue dies.
