Brain tumor patients test safer radiation: proton vs. photon
NCT ID NCT05190172
First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for people with IDH-mutated grade 2 or 3 gliomas, a type of slow-growing brain tumor. The goal is to see if proton therapy, which targets tumors more precisely, is as effective as standard photon therapy at controlling the tumor while causing fewer side effects. About 225 adults aged 18 to 65 will be randomly assigned to receive either proton or photon radiation, and researchers will track survival, quality of life, and fatigue over two years.
