What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FSRT Stereotactic radiation therapyRadiation

    For each metastasis, dose of 30 Gy in 3 fractions at 10 Gy / fraction over 7 days

Study groups in NCT03696680
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FSRT Stereotactic radiation therapyExperimentalEach cerebral metastasis (hemorrhagic or otherwise) will be treated by radiation
Receives: Radiation: FSRT Stereotactic radiation therapy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Hemorrhagic complication rate (new hemorrhage or increase of hemorrhage)

    Measured: 6 months after end of Stereotactic radiation therapy

  2. Local tumoral response rate defined according to the recommendations of the RECIST criteria

    Measured: 6 months after end of Stereotactic radiation therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing FSRT Stereotactic radiation therapy in people with Hemorrhagic Brain Metastases, run by Centre Francois Baclesse at 4 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 24 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Julien GEFRELOT, MD (0231455020, j.geffrelot@baclesse.unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hemorrhagic complication rate (new hemorrhage or increase of hemorrhage) (time frame: 6 months after end of Stereotactic radiation therapy). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03696680, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Feb 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
