New radiation approach aims to stop brain tumor regrowth

NCT ID NCT06557512

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This pilot trial is testing a type of radiation called hypofractionated stereotactic radiosurgery for people who have had surgery for a grade II or recurrent grade I meningioma. The treatment delivers higher doses of radiation in fewer sessions, which may kill leftover tumor cells more effectively while reducing side effects. The study will enroll 23 participants to primarily check safety and see how well it prevents the tumor from coming back within 3 years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Hypofractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (a precise, high-dose radiation treatment)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a more effective and safer way to prevent meningioma regrowth after surgery, reducing the need for repeat treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (23 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Radiation can still cause side effects like swelling or damage to nearby brain tissue.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 23 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \>+ 18 years at time of study entry * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. * Histologic diagnosis of newly diagnosed World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2 or recurrent WHO grade 1 meningioma. With regard to recurrent WHO grade 1 meningioma, participants must present with radiographic evidence of recurrence, and have a histologic diagnosis of WHO grade 1 meningioma at the most recent resection. \* Note: For participants diagnosed outside of University of California San Francisco (UCSF), re-review of pathology at UCSF is strongly encouraged. Hematoxylin and eosin (H\&E) slides will be reviewed by UCSF pathologists. * Participants must have undergone a gross-total surgical resection as deemed by their neurosurgeon (Simpson grade I-III resection), using all available information which can include post-operative MRI, of a meningioma within 180 days of enrollment. * Participants must have a pre-operative MRI. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 (Karnofsky score of 70 or higher) * Participants must have post-operative MRI indicating anatomy suitable for hypofractionated radiosurgery, as reviewed by the Radiation Oncology co-principal investigators (PIs). Exclusion Criteria: * Concurrent participation in another clinical study with an investigational product unless it is an observational (non-interventional) study or the follow-up period of an interventional study. * Extensive multifocal (3 or more meningiomas) or metastatic disease. * Participants with tumors within 2mm of the optic apparatus or brainstem will be excluded. * Participants with another active primary malignancy or history of previous malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancers, low and intermediate risk prostate cancers, and in situ cancers such as bladder, gastric, colon, cervical/dysplasia, or breast) are excluded unless a complete remission was achieved at least 2 years prior to study entry and no additional therapy is required or anticipated to be required during the study period. * Female participants who are pregnant. * Any underlying medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of study treatment or interpretation of participant safety or study results. * Participants with uncontrolled seizures, defined as greater than 3 disabling seizures per day while on anti-epileptic drugs. * Participants who have had previous intracranial radiotherapy overlapping with the area that would be targeted for stereotactic radiosurgery by this study.
