Comparing Single vs Multiple Dose Radiation for Cancer Patients With Brain Metastasis and Receiving Immunotherapy

Studying radiation doses for brain cancer patients on immunotherapy.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A
This study aims to see which type of radiation treatment is better for cancer patients with brain metastasis who are also receiving immunotherapy. Brain metastasis is when cancer spreads to the brain from other parts of the body. The two treatments being compared are **Single Fraction Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SSRS)** and **Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery (FSRS)**. SSRS is a single, high dose of radiation, while FSRS is a lower dose spread over several days. The study will focus on whether FSRS reduces side effects better than SSRS. Key Points:
  • Participants will be randomly assigned to either SSRS or FSRS treatment.
  • Participants must have specific types of cancer and be 18 or older.
  • Study participation requires several visits and tests like MRI scans.
Participants must be able to understand and consent to the study, and those who have had certain previous treatments or conditions may not be eligible. The study hopes to improve the quality of life for patients by finding the best treatment option with fewer side effects.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
