Clinical Trial: Intensity Modulated PrOton Therapy in Pediatric BRain Tumors (IMPORT)

U.S., Jan. 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07338526) titled 'Intensity Modulated PrOton Therapy in Pediatric BRain Tumors (IMPORT)' on Nov. 24, 2025.

Brief Summary: Children diagnosed with benign or low-grade brain tumors often require radiation therapy to control their disease. While radiation can be effective, traditional techniques using X-rays (photon-based radiotherapy) expose healthy brain tissue to radiation, potentially leading to long-term side effects like memory loss, learning difficulties, hormone imbalances, hearing problems, and a higher risk of secondary cancers. This study, called the IMPORT Trial, aims to compare two types of radiation therapy-Intensity-Modulated Proton Thera...
