New combo therapy aims to boost Radiation's punch with fewer side effects
NCT ID NCT04381806
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests a new way to treat advanced solid tumors by combining low-dose radiation with a drug called 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). The drug is thought to make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation, allowing lower doses to be used and potentially reducing harm to healthy tissue. About 130 adults whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments will take part. The main goal is to find the safest dose of this combination.
