Recruiting studies
- NCT06741085RecruitingPhase 2
Radiosurgery plus standard care for lung cancer spread to brain
This trial tests if adding stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation) to standard drug therapy is safe and effective for people with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to improve control of brain metastases while continuing targeted therapy.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06315010RecruitingPhase 2
Repotrectinib for lung cancer with brain metastasis
This trial tests a targeted pill called repotrectinib for people with a specific type of lung cancer (ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer) that has spread to the brain. The drug aims to shrink brain tumors and control the cancer, especially when brain-focused treatments like surgery or radiation are not needed right away.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT03823144Recruiting
Imaging small live tumor details during surgery
This study uses a special camera to look at solid tumors from inside the body during an operation. It tests whether “live” tumor imaging (using a medicine called fluorescein) can be safely performed in people with certain solid cancers.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07553481Recruiting
Hearing Loss from Cancer Chemotherapy in Northwest England
This study looks at whether certain cancer drugs affect hearing, and whether some patients have less access to hearing care. You'll take online hearing and memory tests to help researchers understand this problem better.
Lancaster, LancashireAges 18 years+ - NCT07506239Recruiting
Laser therapy for low-grade brain tumors in young people
This trial tests a laser treatment called LITT for low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) that has come back or is growing despite prior treatment. It aims to see if the laser is safe and effective in young people aged 2 to 25.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–25 - NCT05236946RecruitingPhase 3
Brain radiation timing study for gene-mutated lung cancer
This study compares giving brain radiation right away versus waiting, in people with lung cancer that has an EGFR or ALK gene change and has spread to the brain but causes no symptoms. It aims to see which approach helps control the brain cancer better and keeps quality of life stable.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–99 - NCT04348747RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine plus pembrolizumab for breast cancer in the brain
This trial studies whether a personalized immune-cell vaccine (dendritic cell vaccine) combined with pembrolizumab can help control brain metastases from certain types of breast cancer. It may help your immune system better recognize and attack cancer cells in the brain.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04923542RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted drug plus focused brain radiation for breast cancer
This study tests whether abemaciclib (a targeted pill) given with focused radiation to brain tumors can control hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer in the brain. It’s designed to see if the combination helps shrink or slow the growth of brain metastases while keeping side effects manageable.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06776458Recruiting
Aromatase inhibitor effects on heart and brain health in breast cancer
This study looks at how aromatase inhibitors (a type of hormone therapy for breast cancer) affect your heart and brain health over time. It compares women with breast cancer who have taken these drugs to healthy women of similar age.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06781762Recruiting
Breast cancer hormone therapy and its effects on heart and brain
This study looks at how starting a common hormone therapy for breast cancer (aromatase inhibitors) affects your heart and brain health over the short term. It compares women starting this treatment to healthy women who are not on the therapy.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT05977803Recruiting
MRI study of brain radiation injury in lung cancer
This study looks at how a specific kind of MRI picture (called the CEST sequence) can help characterize radiation-related brain injury and changes in brain metastases from lung cancer. It may help doctors better interpret follow-up scans after radiation, without changing your cancer treatment.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06899516Recruiting
Brain tumors and pets: A study of needs and concerns
This study explores the relationship between people with brain tumors and their pets. It uses a questionnaire to better understand what concerns and needs you may have as a pet owner during your illness.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT05423860Recruiting
HALO prostate study for men with early prostate cancer
This trial studies HALO, a new “human analytics” approach, in men with early-stage prostate cancer. It may help doctors better assess or guide care using MRI and biopsy findings, before or around initial treatment.
Indian Wells, CaliforniaAges 45–90 - NCT07587957Recruiting
Exercise and Brain Stimulation for Breast Cancer Survivors
This study tests whether combining exercise with a noninvasive brain-stimulation technique (tiny electrical pulses on the scalp) can help improve thinking and memory problems that some breast cancer survivors experience after treatment. Researchers want to see if this combination is practical and safe to use.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04616300Recruiting
Exercise program to support brain function during breast cancer chemo
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can help protect or improve thinking and memory in people with breast cancer while they are starting chemotherapy after surgery. It may help with “chemo brain” by targeting brain function during treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT04297020Recruiting
Checking brain health in breast cancer survivors
This study looks at differences in brain function in people who have had breast cancer, compared with certain people without that history. It’s testing how brain health changes after breast cancer and relates to mood, thinking, and daily functioning.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 35–65 - NCT03911388RecruitingPhase 1
HSV G207 for Children with Recurrent Cerebellar Brain Tumors
This trial is testing a virus called HSV G207, which is injected directly into the tumor, to treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor in the cerebellum that has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–22 - NCT05584267RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus targeted brain radiation for lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving immunotherapy along with a precise form of brain radiation can control brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by shrinking or stabilizing spots in the brain while your body’s immune system is also activated.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07755397RecruitingPhase 1
Study of JBI-778 for lung, brain, and salivary gland tumors
This trial tests a new oral medication, JBI-778, in patients with certain types of lung cancer, brain tumors, or salivary gland cancer. The drug is designed to target specific genetic changes in these tumors, and the study aims to assess its safety and effectiveness.
Surat, GujaratAges 18 years+ - NCT05528939Recruiting
Training attention skills for children after cancer
This trial tests a computer-based “attention-control training” program to see if it’s doable and helpful for children who finished treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or a brain tumor. It also looks at how acceptable the program is for both kids and caregivers.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 8–16 - NCT07341217Recruiting
Exercise and multivitamin for chemo brain in colorectal cancer
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program can help reduce 'chemo brain' (memory and thinking problems) for people with colorectal cancer during chemotherapy. Participants will do online exercise and take a daily multivitamin to see if it helps protect thinking skills.
Blackburn, LancashireAges 60–85 - NCT06618703Recruiting

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.
