Stereotactic Radiation & Abemaciclib in the Management of HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer Brain Metastases
This is a single arm study of abemaciclib and endocrine therapy with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) among patients with hormone receptor (HR)+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer brain metastases.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors With NovoTTF-100M for the Treatment of Melanoma Brain Metastases
This phase I trial finds out the side effects and possible benefits of stereotactic radiosurgery and immune checkpoint inhibitors with NovoTTF-100M for the treating of melanoma that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. It is used to treat brain tumors and other brain disorders that cannot be treated by regular surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack...

Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab) for the Treatment of Recurrent Meningioma
This phase II trial studies the effect of stereotactic radiosurgery and pembrolizumab in treating patients with meningioma that has come back (recurrent). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. It is used to treat brain tumors and other brain disorders that cannot be treated by regular surgery. Pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody. An antibody is a common type of protein made in the body in response to a foreign substance. Antibodies attack foreign substances and protect against ...

Stereotactic Radiosurgery Compared With Hippocampal-Avoidant Whole Brain Radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) Plus Memantine for 5 or More Brain Metastases
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a commonly used treatment for brain tumors. It is a one-day (or in some cases two day), out-patient procedure during which a high dose of radiation is delivered to small spots in the brain while excluding the surrounding normal brain. Whole brain radiation therapy with hippocampal avoidance (HA-WBRT) is when radiation therapy is given to the whole brain, while trying to decrease the amount of radiation that is delivered to the area of the hippocampus. The hippocampus is a brain structure that is important for memory. Memantine is a drug that is given to help relieve symptoms that can be ...

Stereotactic Radiosurgery Dose Escalation for Brain Metastases
This is a Phase I dose escalation and expansion trial. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of radiation received during stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with brain metastases who have never received radiation to the brain before.
-
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) Dose-Escalation Study for Brain Metastasis
SRS dose escalation for brain metastases in radiation-naïve patients will establish true tolerable doses, which may exceed the current standard doses. This may lead to an improvement in local control, patient survival, and/or quality-of life.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery vs Whole Brain Radiotherapy in Breast Cancer With Brain Oligometastasis
This trial aims to assess the impact of SRS on overall survival, PFS, radiation toxicity and quality of life as compared to WBRT in oligometastatic brain disease in breast cancer patients. Total 98 patients with breast cancer with brain oligo-metastases will be included. The WBRT dosage schedule will be 30 Gy in 10 fractions over 2 weeks. For tumors with 2cm, SRS dose of 22 to 25 Gy will be delivered and tumor larger than 2 cm will be treated with doses of 18 to 20 Gy.

Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Cerebral Metastases With Recent Hemorrhagic Signal
This prospective 2-stage, non-randomized Phase 2 trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of FSRT for the management of hemorrhagic brain metastases

Stereotactic Radiotherapy Management of Brain Metastases: the Value of a Longitudinal Multimodal Approach (POSTPONE)
The management of brain metastases has evolved́ rapidly in recent years. It is estimated that 20% to 40% of cancer patients will develop brain metastases (BM) during the course of their disease. Whole-brain radiotherapy has long been the first-line treatment for brain metastases. However, large-scale international clinical trials conducted over the past decade have established stereotactic radiotherapy (SR) as the treatment of choice for the management of brain metastases (BM). However, even though the method of radiation delivery has evolved considerably, the problem of monitoring and managing brain metastases remains unresolved. ...
