Recruiting studies
- NCT06090903Recruiting
MRI Study to Understand Glioblastoma Biology Before Surgery
This study uses MRI scans to learn more about the biology of glioblastoma before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the tumor behaves and improve future treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03649880RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging brain tumors with FMISO in adults
This trial tests whether a new imaging agent called FMISO can help see areas of low oxygen in brain tumors. It may help doctors better target treatment for gliomas.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06914479RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy and valacyclovir for recurrent brain tumors in young people
This trial tests a new gene therapy that uses two special viruses and an oral antiviral drug (valacyclovir) to treat brain tumors that have come back in children and young adults. The therapy is given right after surgery to remove the tumor, with the goal of helping your immune system fight the cancer.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 3–39 - NCT06650163RecruitingPhase 1
New imaging test for brain tumor surgery planning
This trial tests a new kind of PET scan that uses a special tracer (Zr-89 crefmirlimab berdoxam) to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. If you are scheduled to have your brain tumor removed, this scan may give your surgeon extra information to guide the operation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06630260RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Avutometinib and Defactinib for brain tumors
This trial tests two oral drugs, avutometinib and defactinib, in people with aggressive brain tumors like glioblastoma. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
CambridgeAges 16 years+ - NCT04475640Recruiting
Genetic testing study for cancer patients in different ethnic groups
This study looks at cancer-related inherited gene changes using blood samples. It may help patients and doctors understand cancer risk and guide treatment planning, especially across different ethnic communities.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03609112Recruiting
Study brain and thinking risks in children with solid tumors
This study looks at how cancer treatment may affect children’s thinking and brain health. It may help doctors better understand risks so they can monitor and support learning and memory during and after treatment.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges Any age - NCT05011045Recruiting
Brain radiation study tracking thinking and memory changes
This study looks at how whole-brain radiation affects thinking, memory, and other brain function in people with blood cancers that involve the brain. It may help doctors understand what to expect and which supportive treatments or monitoring could be useful.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05259605Recruiting
Study uses brain tumor tissue and scans to track treatment outcomes
This is an observational study that collects and compares information from patients with primary brain tumors and their treatment results. It uses stored tumor tissue and brain scans to better understand outcomes using updated tumor classification methods.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 249 recruiting brain cancer 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 cancer 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 cancer 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.
