Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06214767Recruiting
Study of treatment choices for untreated brain cavernous malformations
This study looks at how to best treat people with untreated cerebral cavernous malformations (a cluster of abnormal blood vessels in the brain). It compares outcomes between those who have surgery and those who are monitored with regular check-ups, and will follow participants for a long time to see how they do.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07087873Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation for memory problems in inflammatory diseases
This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve memory and thinking in people with certain inflammatory conditions that affect the brain and spinal cord.

Short course radiation for brain tumors in children
This trial tests a short course of radiation (fewer sessions) to help control symptoms from cancer that has spread to the brain or come back in the brain. It is for children and young adults whose cancer cannot be cured, and who are able to do some daily activities.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT07471984Enrolling by invitation
Checking how AI reads brain scans for better diagnosis
This study tests a new AI tool to see if it can help doctors better understand brain MRI and CT scans. It may find issues like strokes, bleeding, tumors, or injuries.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT04510051RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for IL13Rα2 positive pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a type of immune therapy (CAR T cells) for children with brain tumors that come back or do not respond to standard treatment. The cells are given after chemotherapy that temporarily lowers the body’s immune system, which may help the CAR T cells work better.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 4–25 - NCT03830151RecruitingPhase 1
C-13 pyruvate MRI to help diagnose brain gliomas
This early-phase study tests a special MRI scan using C-13 pyruvate to help identify and understand gliomas (a type of brain tumor) in people with brain tumors going to surgery or biopsy. It may help doctors see tumor signals better before or around the time of your procedure.
Houston, TexasAges 19 years+ - NCT06208657RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer therapy for kids and teens
This trial tests personalized cancer treatments for children and teens whose cancer has not responded to standard therapy. It uses information from precision medicine studies to match the right drug to each child's tumor.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges birth–21 years - NCT05106296RecruitingPhase 1
Chemo-immunotherapy with ibrutinib and indoximod for pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a combination treatment (ibrutinib plus indoximod along with chemotherapy) for children with brain tumors that have come back or are hard to treat. It may help shrink active tumor or control the disease when standard treatments can’t cure it.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 3–25 - NCT07517107RecruitingPhase 2
Blood tests to guide gastric cancer treatment decisions
This study uses special blood tests to detect cancer DNA and help doctors decide the best treatment plan for gastric cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes by personalizing therapy based on how your cancer responds.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06894238Recruiting
Can brain waves predict confusion after brain surgery?
This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06104215RecruitingEarly Phase 1
BGT007H cells for advanced digestive cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy called BGT007H for people with advanced digestive tract cancers (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, or colon) that have not responded to or stopped working after at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT05956821RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for young people with recurring brain glioma
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a study treatment for children and young adults under 22 whose brain glioma has come back or isn’t responding to prior treatment. It’s designed to see whether the treatment is safe and effective for shrinking tumors in this situation.
Miami, FloridaAges 1–21 - NCT06104241RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cell therapy for advanced digestive cancers
This trial tests a new cell therapy called BGT007 for people with advanced cancers of the digestive system (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, or colon) that have not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified to target a protein on your cancer cells.

Jinan, ShandongAges 8–100 - NCT07627334Recruiting
Personalized drug testing for newly diagnosed brain tumors
This trial tests whether customized drug screening on your tumor cells can help doctors choose the best treatment for you. Your tumor cells will be grown in the lab and tested against different drugs to find what works best, combined with short-course radiation therapy.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges Any age - NCT05057702Recruiting
Personalized surgery-focused treatment plan for relapsed brain cancer
This study tests a personalized treatment plan for children and young adults whose medulloblastoma or ependymoma has come back. It aims to guide doctors using new tissue from surgery or biopsy after earlier treatments are fully finished.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–39 - NCT03458676Recruiting
MRI results to help guide brain tumor biopsy
This study checks whether advanced brain MRI images can help doctors choose the best spot to biopsy suspected or proven primary brain tumors. It may help make biopsies safer and more accurate before tissue diagnosis.

Study drugs into a tumor plus immune therapy for advanced cancer
This trial tests injecting an immune-boosting mixture directly into a skin or lymph node tumor, along with immune-checkpoint medicines given through the vein. It aims to help the body recognize and fight advanced cancers that can’t be fully removed by surgery.
Jette, BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07603752Recruiting
Brain implant to restore arm movement in spinal cord injury
This trial tests a wireless implant placed on the brain's surface to help people with cervical (neck-level) spinal cord injuries regain some arm and hand movement. The device reads brain signals and sends them to muscles, potentially bypassing the damaged spinal cord.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT05124912Recruiting
Laser treatment for recurrent brain metastases after prior SRS
This study tests whether repeating treatment with a laser (along with a small biopsy) can control brain metastases that have come back after earlier radiation called SRS. It may help people whose cancer is stable enough for surgery and who have a specific, reachable brain spot to target.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain and central nervous system tumors?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 75 recruiting brain and central nervous system tumors 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 brain and central nervous system tumors 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 brain and central nervous system tumors 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.
