Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with histologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma, 1–20 brain metastases meeting the trial's size criteria and deemed unsuitable for single-session SRS, with ECOG 0–2, stable extracranial disease, and adequate organ function are appropriate candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with uncontrolled extracranial disease, poor performance status (ECOG >2), contraindications to bevacizumab (for example recent major bleeding, poor wound healing), or those with lesions suitable for single-session SRS are less likely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, controlled phase III randomized trial that will assign participants 1:1:1 to FSRT plus bevacizumab, FSRT alone, or whole-brain radiotherapy with a simultaneous integrated boost. FSRT is delivered as 30 Gy in five daily 6 Gy fractions, bevacizumab is given IV 7.5 mg/kg every three weeks for four cycles starting one week before FSRT, and WBRT/SIB is delivered as 25 Gy to the brain with a 40 Gy boost in 10 fractions. Eligible patients have lung adenocarcinoma with multiple brain metastases meeting predefined size/number criteria and are judged unsuitable for single-session SRS. The study will measure intracranial control and safety outcomes to determine whether the addition of bevacizumab provides clinical benefit.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could increase intracranial tumor control and reduce radiation-related edema, potentially improving neurological outcomes and prolonging survival.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies show bevacizumab can reduce edema and improve radiotherapy effects in brain metastases, but large randomized phase III data specifically combining FSRT with bevacizumab for multiple brain metastases are limited.
