Summary

This pilot study tests a drug called meclofenamate, previously used for pain, in 30 adults with brain metastases that have come back or worsened. The main goal is to see if a larger study is possible, not to prove the drug works. Researchers will also track side effects and how long the cancer stays controlled.
