NCT ID NCT06984523

First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests a precise radiation technique called VMAT for people with solid tumors that have spread to the lining of the brain and spine (leptomeningeal metastasis). The goal is to see if this approach can delay cancer progression in the central nervous system better than standard radiation. About 20 adults with this condition will receive the treatment, and researchers will track how long it takes for the disease to worsen.
