New registry tracks side effects of targeted radiation for spread cancer
NCT ID NCT04085029
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is a registry that collects information from 300 adults with metastatic cancer who receive or have received a precise, high-dose form of radiation called ablative radiotherapy. The goal is to track short-term side effects and better understand the safety of this treatment. No new drug or therapy is being tested; instead, researchers are gathering real-world data to guide future care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ablative radiotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could help doctors better understand the safety of ablative radiotherapy for metastatic cancer, potentially improving treatment guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial. It does not test whether the therapy works, and results may not apply to all patients.
