NCT ID NCT05087888
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether repeated MRI scans and blood tests could predict changes in thinking and memory after brain radiation. Researchers enrolled 9 adults with brain tumors who were scheduled for radiation. They collected blood samples and performed advanced MRI scans over time to see if these tests could signal early cognitive decline.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict and monitor cognitive decline after brain radiation, potentially guiding treatment adjustments.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, terminated study with only 9 participants, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. No treatment was tested.
