NCT ID NCT05565521
First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new radiation method for people 65 and older with glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumor. Instead of the usual lower dose, patients receive a higher dose over 3 weeks using a special machine (MR-Linac) that takes daily MRI scans to adjust the radiation precisely. The goal is to improve how long the cancer stays under control and overall survival.
