How far along is this research?
This is a trial that is enrolling or has been updated. It is not a finding yet.
This study does not list a phase, so it is still an early test in people.
Status: Recruiting. It is looking for patients now. Talk to your care team about whether it fits you.

The short version
This study looks at whether extra brain scans during treatment can help doctors adjust the plan.
Who this trial is for. This trial is for people with high grade glioma: A tumor that starts in the glial cells, the support cells of the brain and spinal cord. Gliomas are given a grade from 1 to 4 describing how the tumor is expected to behave. See the glossary who are getting radiation and chemotherapy. It tests whether repeated MRI scans during treatment can show changes in the tumor.
Where it stands. Researchers want to see if the extra scans show tumor changes during treatment. They also want to know if those changes could lead to changes in the treatment plan. The trial has not reported results yet.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: Someday, repeated scans might help doctors fit radiation to how a tumor is changing. If you have high grade glioma: A tumor that starts in the glial cells, the support cells of the brain and spinal cord. Gliomas are given a grade from 1 to 4 describing how the tumor is expected to behave. See the glossary, you could ask your care team whether this trial fits you.
What it doesn't mean: This is a test, not a proven way to plan treatment. Being in a trial does not promise that it will help you. Extra scans are not a cure. Whether someone can join is decided by the trial team.
