First seen Mar 13, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tests whether proton beam radiation causes fewer side effects than standard photon radiation in people with glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumor. About 326 adults will be randomly assigned to one of the two radiation types. The main goal is to see if proton therapy reduces early side effects within the first four months, while also tracking survival and quality of life.
