NCT ID NCT02685605
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether giving a dose of radiation directly to the tumor cavity during surgery can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer without their cancer growing. About 314 adults aged 18 to 80 with operable brain tumors will receive either standard chemoradiation alone or standard treatment plus this intraoperative radiation boost. The study aims to see if the extra radiation improves progression-free survival.
