First seen Apr 11, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a nitroglycerin patch (a heart medication) to standard radiation therapy can better shrink brain tumors in people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer) that has spread to the brain. About 74 adults will be randomly assigned to receive radiation alone or radiation plus the patch. Researchers will track tumor response, survival, quality of life, and side effects.
