Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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 - NCT04988009Recruiting
Telemedicine care experience survey for brain tumor patients
This trial asks brain tumor patients and caregivers to share what they think about the quality of care they receive through telemedicine. Your feedback may help improve how neuro-oncology visits are done by video in the future.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05386108RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test abemaciclib plus elacestrant for breast cancer brain spread
This trial studies whether the combination of abemaciclib and elacestrant can slow or shrink ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It is designed for people whose cancer has progressed despite prior hormone (endocrine) treatment.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06118723Recruiting
Supramaximal vs maximal surgery for brain tumors
This trial compares removing as much tumor as safely possible (supramaximal resection) with standard maximal resection in people with high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain tumor). The goal is to see if more extensive removal improves survival and quality of life.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06273176Recruiting
Surgery with or without brain mapping for recurrent glioblastoma
This study is testing whether using a special brain-mapping technique during surgery helps people with recurrent glioblastoma. It compares standard surgery to surgery with mapping to see if it leads to better outcomes for tumors near important brain areas.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Up to 90 years - NCT02754544Recruiting
Brain mapping during tumor surgery while you are awake
This study uses special recording sensors during brain tumor surgery to map the brain areas that control movement and speech. It may help the surgical team protect these key functions while removing the tumor.
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+ - NCT02861898RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cetuximab delivered into the brain tumor artery for new glioblastoma
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether giving cetuximab directly into the artery that feeds the brain tumor can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to target the tumor more precisely while checking safety and early signs of benefit.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06753617Enrolling by invitation
Cold probe treatment for brain tumors
This trial tests a cold-based treatment (cryoablation) for certain brain tumors including gliomas, meningiomas, and metastases. It may be an option if you plan to have surgery and meet safety criteria.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18–80 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06930846Recruiting
Brain cancer cognitive training study
This study tests a home-based program called HOBSCOTCH-CA to help with memory and thinking problems after brain cancer treatment. The program uses phone and internet sessions to teach self-management skills.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 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+ - NCT07339085Recruiting
Advanced MRI for brain tumor recurrence or radiation damage
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better tell the difference between a returning brain tumor and radiation injury. It may help guide your treatment decisions.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07174661Recruiting
Planning ahead for teens and young adults with advanced cancer
This study tests an educational tool to help young adults with advanced solid tumors or high-grade brain tumors think about and discuss their future healthcare wishes early. It may help you feel more prepared and in control of your care.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–39 - NCT05049148Recruiting
Study platelets in brain and spinal tumors
This study looks at how blood “platelets” may be involved in brain or spinal (medullary) tumors by testing tumor tissue taken during surgery or biopsy. It may help researchers understand disease biology and guide future treatments.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03861299Recruiting
Awake brain surgery versus sleep surgery for glioblastoma
This study compares two ways of doing brain surgery for glioblastoma: doing parts of the operation while you are awake, versus doing it fully under general anesthesia (sleep). It aims to see which approach is safer and better for protecting brain functions like speech and movement while removing the tumor.
GhentAges 18–90 - NCT06496971RecruitingPhase 3
Testing focused ultrasound plus Avastin for recurrent glioblastoma
This study tests whether adding focused ultrasound to the standard drug Avastin (bevacizumab) can help treat recurrent glioblastoma. The ultrasound may help more of the drug reach the tumor.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT06328686RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Arginine and whole brain radiation for brain metastases
This trial tests whether taking arginine (an amino acid) during whole brain radiation therapy can help people with brain metastases from any type of cancer. It looks at how the treatment affects the body and may improve outcomes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03750227RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation before or after brain tumor surgery
This study compares giving focused, high-precision radiation before or after surgery for brain metastases. It aims to see which timing works best to control tumors and improve outcomes.
