First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests whether the drug bevacizumab works better than standard steroid treatment for people with brain swelling caused by radiation therapy.

The goal is to see which treatment better improves daily function and reduces symptoms, while also being cost-effective.
