Stereotactic Brain-directed Radiation With or Without Aguix Gadolinium-Based Nanoparticles in Brain Metastases (NCT04899908)
A Double-blind, Phase II Randomized Study of Brain-directed Stereotactic Radiation With or Without AGuIX Gadolinium-based Nanoparticles in the Management of Brain Metastases at Higher Risk of Local Recurrence With Radiation Alone
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AGuIX (Activation and Guidance of Irradiation by X-ray) gadolinium-based nanoparticles make radiation work more effectively in the treatment of patients with brain metastases that are more difficult to control with stereotactic radiation alone.
