Brain radiation for breast cancer: prevention study halted early

NCT ID NCT01613482

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

Summary

This study looked at whether giving radiation to the brain could prevent cancer from spreading there in people with HER2-positive breast cancer that had already spread to other organs. Participants were receiving trastuzumab (Herceptin) plus chemotherapy. The study was stopped early because not enough people enrolled, so we don't have clear answers.
