NCT ID NCT05019976

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a shorter course of radiation (over 2-3 weeks instead of the usual 5-6 weeks) is safe for people with Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or not responded to treatment. About 30 participants will receive different radiation doses to find the safest shortened schedule. The goal is to reduce treatment burden while still controlling the cancer.

Active substance

radiation therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a shorter, more convenient radiation schedule for people with lymphoma that is still safe and effective.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main goal is safety, not yet proving the shorter course works as well as the standard.
