Study of Neurologic Progression With Motexafin Gadolinium and Radiation Therapy (SMART)

Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to determine if patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer treated with Motexafin Gadolinium and whole brain radiation therapy retain their neurologic function and ability to think for a longer time compared to patients treated with whole brain radiation therapy alone.
