NCT ID NCT07338539

First seen Jan 16, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tests a new way to give radiation to people with aggressive brain tumors (glioblastoma) who cannot have surgery. Instead of the usual 3-week course, doctors use a PET scan to find the most active tumor areas and deliver higher-dose radiation in just 1 or 2 weeks, along with chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this shorter, more precise treatment helps patients live longer and feel better. About 108 older or less healthy adults will take part.
