Clinical Trials Actively Recruiting

Having a large clinical trial portfolio means giving patients treatment options often not available anywhere else, and years before they become the standard of care.

  • Objective:

    Primary Objective

    • Determine whether stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) relative to whole brain radiotherapy with hippocampal avoidance (HA-WBRT) plus memantine for brain metastases from small cell lung cancer (SCLC) prevents cognitive function failure as measured by cognitive decline on a battery of tests: the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test – Revised (HVLT-R), Controled Oral Word Association (COWA) test, and the Trail Making Test (TMT).
