- NCT03550391RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-like brain radiation vs avoiding the memory center
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to the brain for people with 5 or more brain metastases: focused stereotactic radiosurgery, or a whole-brain approach that tries to spare the memory area (with memantine). It aims to see which method better protects thinking and memory while still treating the tumors.

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.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05045950RecruitingPhase 2
Whole brain radiation that aims to protect thinking skills
This Phase 2 trial tests a modified form of whole brain radiation to see if it can better protect thinking and memory in adults with brain metastases. You may join even if you’ve had other cancer treatments before, as long as your situation fits the study rules.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04511013RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.

Study measuring radiation treatment outcomes with an MR-Linac
This study follows what happens when radiation treatment is guided using an MR-Linac (a special machine that combines MRI imaging with radiation). It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned and assessed, especially for people who can safely have MRI scans.

What taking part in a brain metastases study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there brain metastases clinical trials in Wisconsin?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting brain metastases studies with a site in Wisconsin, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a brain metastases study in Wisconsin?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Wisconsin to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Wisconsin, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a brain metastases trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New brain metastases studies open in Wisconsin regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
