Brain cancer breakthrough? trial tests powerful radiation blitz

NCT ID NCT02179086

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: NRG Oncology Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study is testing if delivering a higher, more concentrated dose of radiation directly to the brain tumor, using advanced techniques, can help patients with a serious brain cancer called glioblastoma live longer. Over 600 patients will receive either this intensified radiation or the standard radiation dose, along with the same chemotherapy drug. The main goal is to see if the more aggressive radiation approach improves survival while carefully monitoring side effects and thinking skills.
