Recruiting studies
- NCT05698524RecruitingPhase 1
Temodar plus an investigational pill for recurrent brain cancer
This Phase 1 study tests an investigational drug (PCI-24781) together with Temodar in people whose high-grade glioma (grade III/IV) has come back after prior treatment. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the combination may work for recurrent disease.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT05345002RecruitingPhase 2
ATRA plus PD-1 therapy for IDH-mutant recurrent brain tumors
This trial studies whether adding all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to an anti–PD-1 immune therapy can slow recurrent or worsening IDH-mutant glioma. It may help by boosting the immune system’s attack on the tumor.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05190172Recruiting
Proton versus photon radiation for IDH-mutated brain tumors
This trial compares two types of radiation—proton therapy versus photon (standard) therapy—for adults with an IDH-mutated grade 2 or 3 brain tumor. The goal is to see which approach works better and/or causes fewer side effects while treating the tumor.
OsloAges 18–65 - NCT05084430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pembrolizumab plus M032 for recurrent brain tumors
This early-phase study tests the safety and early signs of benefit of combining pembrolizumab with M032 in people with certain aggressive brain tumors. You may be considered if you have a glioma tumor that can potentially be removed by surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04780009Recruiting
Imaging tool during brain tumor surgery
This trial tests a special camera system used during surgery to help doctors see brain tumor tissue using fluorescent light. It may help the surgeon remove more tumor while protecting healthy brain areas.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–90 - NCT04648462Recruiting
Proton therapy planning for certain brain tumors
This study builds and tests how proton therapy planning could better protect the brain compared with standard radiation (photon therapy) for adults with certain brain tumors. It may help reduce radiation to sensitive areas like the hippocampus, with the goal of better long-term brain function.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT03896568RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of stem cell therapy for recurrent high-grade brain tumors
This Phase 1 study tests an advanced stem-cell treatment (hMSC-DNX2401) for recurrent high-grade glioma, including certain brain tumor types that come back. It aims to see if the treatment can be safely delivered and whether it can help control the tumor after standard therapies have already been tried.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03603405RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test vaccine and radiation with chemotherapy for new brain tumor
This trial studies a gene-based treatment (HSV-tk) given with radiation and chemotherapy for people newly diagnosed with glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. It may help the new brain tumor respond better to standard treatments, though risks and benefits are still being tested.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03596086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug plus radiation and chemo for recurrent brain cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether combining an HSV-tk “gene switch” treatment, valacyclovir tablets, focused radiation (SBRT), and chemotherapy can help people with recurrent glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth after standard treatments have already been tried.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02800486RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted antibody plus repeat radiation for recurrent brain tumors
This trial studies giving cetuximab (a targeted antibody) directly into an artery along with repeat radiation to treat certain recurring or treatment-resistant brain tumors. It may help by delivering the drug more directly to tumor areas and testing whether this approach can control the disease after it comes back.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT01269853RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bevacizumab directly into brain arteries for recurrent brain tumors
This early-stage trial tests whether giving a targeted cancer medicine (bevacizumab) directly into brain arteries can help shrink or control certain recurrent (coming back) brain tumors. It may be an option if standard treatments are no longer working.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for astrocytoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 59 recruiting astrocytoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a astrocytoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a astrocytoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
