Asymptomatic Brain Metastasis in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This study is enrolling participants by invitation only.

Information provided by:
Samsung Medical Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
NCT01130766
First received: May 25, 2010
Last updated: NA
Last verified: April 2010
History: No changes posted
  Purpose

The prognosis of NSCLC patients with asymptomatic brain metastasis, who are not treated with SRS or WBRT has not been fully investigated yet. This randomized phase III trial is conducted to determine the exact role of SRS in NSCLC patients with asymptomatic oligo brain metastases whether early treatment with SRS would improve survival even in patients with asymptomatic brain metastasis.


Condition Intervention Phase
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
 Procedure: stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)
 Phase 3

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Randomized Phase III Trial of Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) Versus Observation for Patients With Asymptomatic Cerebral Oligo-metastases in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
