Abstract: The brain is a common site of tumor metastases, however patients with brain metastases are frequently either excluded from enrollment in clinical trials, or may be enrolled with limitations - clinically stable and/or previously treated. However, there is still no universally accepted definition of what to consider adequately treated and stable brain metastasis, which in turn, may lead to an excessively conservative approach to enroll such patients. During design of a study protocol that allows enrollment of patients with previously treated brain metastases, it is imperative to consider specifying the allowed previous treatment(s).
