NCT ID NCT04278118
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a shorter course of high-dose proton radiation for people with non-cancerous brain tumors like meningiomas and schwannomas. The goal is to see if fewer treatments can still control tumor growth while reducing side effects and being more convenient. About 70 adults will take part and be followed for 3 years.
