New radiation method aims to shrink large tumors
NCT ID NCT07647679
First seen Jun 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether adding a specialized radiation technique called Lattice Radiation Therapy (LRT) to standard palliative radiation can safely shrink large tumors (at least 4.5 cm) in adults. The study will enroll 25 people with various cancers who are already scheduled for palliative radiation. Participants receive one extra LRT treatment before starting standard radiation, and researchers will monitor side effects and tumor shrinkage for one year.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Lattice Radiation Therapy (LRT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to shrink large tumors that are hard to treat with standard radiation alone.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (25 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. It only tests safety and early effectiveness, not a proven treatment.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
