Who may be able to join

AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI

Who might be able to join this trial:

  • People who have been diagnosed with a solid (non-blood) cancer that has been confirmed by laboratory testing, and who have been referred for whole-brain radiation therapy for treatment or prevention purposes.
  • People who are in reasonably good general health, as measured by standard medical scoring systems (a score of 0–2 on the ECOG scale, or at least 70% on the Karnofsky scale — confirm with trial site if unsure what these mean for your situation).
  • People whose cancer has spread to the brain in no more than three separate spots, with each spot being no larger than 4 cm (roughly 1.5 inches) across.

Who may not be able to join:

  • People whose brain scans show cancer spread within 5 mm (less than a quarter of an inch) of the hippocampus, a specific area of the brain.
  • People who show signs that the cancer may have spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord (a condition called leptomeningeal disease — confirm with trial site).
  • People who have previously received any form of radiation therapy to the brain or head area for any reason, including a specialised type called stereotactic radiosurgery.
