Could two weeks of radiation be as good as six for this brain cancer?
NCT ID NCT05077735
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is for people with a rare and aggressive brain tumor called diffuse midline glioma. Instead of the usual six weeks of daily radiation, researchers are testing a shorter course of just two weeks. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment works just as well at controlling the tumor while improving patients' quality of life. About 29 participants will be enrolled.
