New hope for tough chest tumors: targeted radiation trial launches
NCT ID NCT06603987
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of radiation therapy called BNCT for people with chest tumors that have come back and cannot be removed by surgery or treated with standard methods. About 30 participants will receive a special boron drug followed by neutron radiation to target cancer cells while sparing healthy organs. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can control tumor growth.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Written informed consent must be obtained from the subject. * Patients with histopathological diagnosed malignant tumor (except cutaneous angiosarcoma) * Measurable disease, as defined by RECIST v1.1. * Patients diagnosed with recurrent malignant tumors that are unresectable and perceived challenging to treat with standard treatment. * Patients with ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1.
