Summary

This study tests a precise radiation treatment called boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for people with aggressive brain tumors. It uses a special boron compound (B10 L-BPA) that collects in tumor cells, then a neutron beam activates it to destroy those cells while sparing healthy tissue. The trial will enroll 10 adults with grade 3 or 4 brain tumors to check safety and whether tumors shrink or stop growing.
