Study of Motexafin Gadolinium With Whole Brain Radiation Therapy Followed by Stereotactic Radiosurgery Boost in the Treatment of Patients With Brain Metastases
- Conditions
- Neoplasm MetastasisBrain Neoplasms
- Registration Number
- NCT00121420
- Lead Sponsor
- Pharmacyclics LLC.
- Brief Summary
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate if motexafin gadolinium with whole brain radiation therapy followed by a stereotactic radiosurgery boost is a safe and effective treatment.
- Detailed Description
Patients will receive three weeks of whole brain radiation therapy concurrent with daily motexafin gadolinium during weeks 2 and 3, followed by a stereotactic radiosurgery boost concurrent with motexafin gadolinium. Patients will be followed for radiologic response, neurologic progression, and neurocognitive progression.
