Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Gadolinium texaphyrin may increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy by making tumor cells more sensitive to radiation It is not yet known whether giving gadolinium texaphyrin with radiation therapy is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating brain metastases

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without gadolinium texaphyrin in treating patients who have brain metastases
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the safety of gadolinium texaphyrin administered prior to whole brain radiotherapy in patients with brain metastases II Compare the efficacy and toxicity of whole brain radiotherapy with or without gadolinium texaphyrin in these patients III Assess the quality of life of these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized two stage multicenter study Patients are stratified according to RTOG recursive partitioning analysis class RPA class 1 vs class 2 and tumor type breast vs lung vs other Stage 1 lead-in All patients receive gadolinium texaphyrin IV over 5-10 minutes on the 10 days that they receive radiotherapy Approximately 2-5 hours later patients undergo whole brain radiotherapy Stage 2 randomization Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms Patients in arm I undergo whole brain radiotherapy for 10 days Patients in arm II receive gadolinium texaphyrin and radiotherapy as in stage 1 Quality of life is assessed on days 10 and 28 then monthly for 5 months and then every 3 months thereafter Patients are followed at day 28 then monthly for 5 months and then every 3 months until death

PROJECTED ACCRUAL The lead-in phase will accrue at least 25-30 patients and the randomization phase will accrue 400 patients 200arm over a 12 month period
