New combo therapy aims to halt brain tumors in lung cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07443397
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding the targeted drug anlotinib to whole-brain radiation helps control brain tumors better than radiation alone in people with small cell lung cancer. About 134 participants with up to 10 brain metastases will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the combination delays tumor growth and improves response rates.
