Gene Therapy Clinical Trials

Study of Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery to Treat Large Brain Metastases

The maximum tolerated dose of 3-session (ie, treatment) stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat brain metastases greater than 4.2 cm³ in size will be determined.

This study investigates if increasing radiation dose improves outcome for patients without greater toxicity (side effects).

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.

Intervention(s):

  • radiation: Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
  • procedure: Surgical resection

Eligibility


INCLUSION CRITERIA

   - Age 18 years and older

   - Pathologically-proven solid tumor malignancy

   - 1 to 4 brain metastases, one of which is 4.2 to 33.5 cm³.

   - Prior surgery or SRS is allowed as long as the target metastatic lesion in this study
   has not previously been treated with SRS.

   - Prior cytotoxic systemic therapy must be completed ≥ 5 days prior to radiosurgery. No
   concurrent cytotoxic systemic therapy along with SRS. Cytotoxic systemic therapy to
   start ≥ 5 days after the completion of SRS.

   - Life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks.

   - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA

   - Previously treated with whole brain irradiation

   - Target metastatic lesion previously been treated with SRS.

   - > 4 total brain metastases at the time of initial evaluation.

   - Pregnant
