NCT ID NCT04343573
First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested two radiation methods for people with cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastases). One method, proton craniospinal radiation, treats the entire fluid-filled space around the brain and spine. The other, partial photon radiation, only treats areas causing symptoms. The goal was to see which approach better prevents the cancer from worsening and improves symptoms. The study included 102 participants with solid tumors.
