New radiation method targets tough tumors
NCT ID NCT07645261
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a new radiation technique called SBRT-LATTICE-PATHY for people with large tumors (at least 7 cm or 340 cm³) that cannot be treated with standard methods. The approach delivers a high dose of radiation only to low-oxygen areas inside the tumor, aiming to improve tumor control and reduce side effects. About 20 participants will be followed for 12 months to see if the tumor shrinks or stops growing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- radiation therapy (SBRT-LATTICE-PATHY)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to treat large tumors that are currently considered untreatable, potentially improving local control and survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The technique is new and risks like radiation toxicity or lack of benefit are unknown.

Inclusion Criteria: * age =or\> 18 years; * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status \< 2; benign and malignant tumors for which the use of radiotherapy is well established in the literature; * tumors =or\> 340 cm³ or with a largest diameter =or\> 7 cm; * no indication for any other type of treatment due to lack of proven clinical benefit (surgery, chemotherapy, standard radiotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, etc.); * Palliative Prognostic Index (PPI) =or\< 2; * metastatic disease in the central nervous system (CNS), if present, controlled (up to 3 metastases, each up to 1 cm); * up to 5 extracranial distant metastases (nodal or extranodal) =or\< 5 cm; signed Informed Consent Form (ICF). Exclusion Criteria: * cases in which tumor volume and/or the patient's clinical condition make adequate immobilization/simulation impossible; * previous local radiotherapy; * pregnant patients; * autoimmune diseases; * genetic instability syndromes; * ongoing systemic therapy; * renal insufficiency that prevents the use of iodinated contrast.
