Phase 1
Recruiting
Research Sponsored by University of Utah
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Clinically confirmed brain metastases by CT or MRI criteria
Patients must have 1-5 untreated brain metastases total
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up maximum tolerated dose of stereotactic radiosurgery will be evaluated throughout the treatment period which is expected to last 12 weeks per patient

Study Summary
This trial is testing how much radiation patients with brain metastases can tolerate when receiving stereotactic radiosurgery.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with 1-5 untreated brain metastases, each no larger than 40 mm. They must have a performance status indicating they can care for themselves and agree to use birth control during and after the study. People who've had prior brain radiation or whose tumors are in sensitive areas like the optic nerve or brain stem cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests increasing doses of stereotactic radiosurgery (a precise form of radiation therapy) to find the highest dose patients with new brain metastases can tolerate without severe side effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include headaches, nausea, fatigue, hair loss at treatment site, swelling around the tumor which might cause neurological issues depending on location, and very rarely radiation necrosis where treated tissue dies.
