  • You are generally well enough to carry out normal daily activities with little or no limitation (confirm with trial site)
  • You have fewer than 4 brain metastases (cancer that has spread to the brain from another part of the body, such as melanoma or another solid tumour), confirmed by a tissue sample; this includes patients who have had surgery to remove a brain metastasis and have 1 to 3 remaining
  • Your brain tumour(s) measure between 5 and 30 mm across
  • A specialist medical team has agreed that you are suitable for a precise, targeted form of radiotherapy called stereotactic radiotherapy
  • At least one of your brain lesions shows signs of bleeding inside the tumour, visible on specific brain scans (CT or MRI)
  • There is no sign that the cancer has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord
  • None of your brain metastases are located in the brainstem
  • Your overall health score related to your type of cancer meets a minimum level set by the trial (confirm with trial site, or check at brainmetgpa.com)
  • You are not currently receiving cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or certain targeted therapies during radiotherapy (these must be paused at least 7 days before and 7 days after treatment; immunotherapy does not need to be paused)
  • Your doctor estimates you are likely to live for more than 6 months
  • You are able to cooperate with wearing a custom-fitted mask during treatment
  • You are able to understand and follow the requirements of the study

  • You have a condition affecting the brain or nervous system that causes it to gradually deteriorate (such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease)
  • You have symptoms unrelated to your cancer that require long-term use of steroid medication
  • You cannot have an MRI scan or receive the contrast dye (gadolinium) used during MRI
  • You have a bleeding or clotting disorder that is not related to bleeding within the brain tumour(s)
  • You have a condition that makes your body unusually sensitive to radiation (for example, Neurofibromatosis)
  • Your platelet count (cells that help blood clot) is below 100,000 per mm³
  • You are taking blood-thinning or anti-clotting medication during radiotherapy, unless it can safely be stopped for at least 5 days before treatment and restarted 2 weeks after treatment ends
  • You have bleeding metastases located in the brainstem
  • Your treatment plan would deliver a significant dose of radiation to other metastases at the same time (confirm with trial site)
  • You have previously had stereotactic radiotherapy to the brain
  • You have previously had whole-brain radiotherapy
  • There are geographical, social, or psychological factors that might make it difficult for you to fully participate in the study
  • You are already taking part in another clinical trial that could interfere with this one
  • You are under legal guardianship or have had your liberty restricted
