Tailored radiation: new trial aims to personalize cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT07139990
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests personalized radiotherapy approaches for people with lung cancer, brain metastases, or other solid tumors. It aims to see if adapting radiation based on how a patient responds is safe and effective. About 45 adults will participate, receiving either extra radiation pulses or reduced doses based on imaging results.
