Early trial aims to make brain tumors more vulnerable to radiation

NCT ID NCT02015117

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether a drug called trametinib can be safely combined with whole brain radiation therapy for patients whose cancer has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the drug makes the tumor cells more sensitive to the radiation, potentially improving treatment. Researchers will find the safest dose and see how well the combination works in a small group of patients.
