MRI-Guided radiation aims to safely boost liver tumor treatment

NCT ID NCT04020276

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing whether MRI-guided radiation therapy (SBRT) can be given at higher doses safely to people with cancer that has spread to the liver. Up to 32 participants will receive 5 radiation sessions over 1.5 to 2 weeks. The main goal is to find the highest dose that does not cause serious side effects within the first month.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) with real-time MRI guidance

What this could lead to

If successful, this could establish a safer, more effective radiation dose for treating liver metastases, potentially improving tumor control with fewer side effects.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase I trial with only 32 participants, focused on safety and dosing. It may not lead to better outcomes, and there is a risk of radiation-related toxicity.
