Could a tiny dose of radiation tame this lymphoma?

NCT ID NCT05929612

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

Summary

This study tests whether a very low dose of radiation (4 Gy) can control marginal zone lymphoma, a slow-growing blood cancer. Participants first get the low dose, and if needed, a higher dose later. The goal is to see if this approach works with fewer side effects. About 50 adults with early-stage lymphoma are being recruited.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Ultra-low dose radiation therapy (4 Gy in 2 fractions)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a less intense radiation option for marginal zone lymphoma, potentially reducing side effects while still controlling the disease.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study (50 participants) and may not show lasting disease control. Some patients may need higher radiation doses, and side effects are still being evaluated.
