Palbociclib and pembrolizumab for brain metastases
This study tests two drugs, palbociclib and pembrolizumab, for people whose solid tumors (like breast cancer or melanoma) have spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or slow the growth of brain tumors that are progressing despite prior treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06322602Recruiting
Brain tumor biopsy with Ommaya reservoir for fluid collection
This study places a small reservoir under your scalp during a brain tumor biopsy to collect fluid samples over time. It may help doctors learn more about your tumor and how it responds to treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04111588Recruiting
PET/MRI scan to assess brain tumors and metastases
This trial tests how well a special PET/MRI scan can help doctors evaluate gliomas and brain metastases. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment planning by comparing scan results with tissue samples or surgery findings.
BergenAges 18 years+ - NCT06165653Recruiting
Guided meditation during radiation for brain tumors
This trial tests whether guided meditation can help people with brain tumors feel better during radiation therapy. You'll be randomly assigned to either meditation sessions or standard care, and researchers will see how it affects your well-being.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT07657403Recruiting
Brain mapping guided tumor surgery trial
This trial uses a brain connectivity map to help surgeons remove brain tumors while protecting areas that control language, movement, and thinking. It may be an option for people whose tumors are near important brain networks.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT03184038Recruiting
Testing brain function in people with brain metastases after radiosurgery
This study looks at how well your thinking and memory work after treatment with radiosurgery for brain metastases. It may help researchers understand which patients benefit best and how to monitor side effects on brain function.
Sewell, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06788886Recruiting
Breathing practice for brain and mental health in cancer and other illnesses
This study tests a simple breathing practice to see if it can improve brain health and mental well-being for people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, or their caregivers. You will do light exercises and answer questionnaires, and some participants will also have an MRI brain scan.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT06132685RecruitingPhase 2
Dexamethasone dosing after brain tumor surgery
This trial tests how to best use dexamethasone (a steroid) after brain tumor surgery to help recovery and reduce swelling. It looks at different dosing schedules for patients with common brain tumors.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06329570RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bevacizumab with focused ultrasound for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests whether adding a focused ultrasound system (NaviFUS) to the drug bevacizumab can help people whose glioblastoma has come back. The treatment aims to deliver the drug more precisely to the brain tumor and potentially improve outcomes.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03649880RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a special PET scan for brain tumor activity
This trial studies whether a brain PET scan using a medicine called FMISO can help show how active certain brain tumors are. It mainly aims to see if the scan is practical and useful in planning care for people with suspected or known brain tumors.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06667726RecruitingPhase 2
New PET scan for better brain tumor care
This trial studies a special PET scan called 18F-DOPA PET/CT to see if it can help doctors better manage brain tumors. It may be used before surgery, for radiation planning, or when MRI results are unclear.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07111182Recruiting
Using a Dye to Guide Brain Tumor Surgery
This study tests whether a special dye called 5-ALA can help surgeons see tumor tissue more clearly during brain tumor surgery. If you are having surgery for a high-grade glioma or another brain tumor, you may be able to join and help improve surgical precision.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–99 - NCT07617168Recruiting
Education Support for First-Time Brain Tumor Surgery Patients
This study tests whether education and support for patients having their first brain tumor surgery—and their caregivers—helps them cope better and recover more smoothly. You and your caregiver would receive educational materials and support throughout your treatment journey.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 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+ - NCT06012695RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an oral drug for solid tumors or glioblastoma
This trial tests an oral drug called NBM-BMX for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments, or for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer). The study aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Kaohsiung CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06799481Recruiting
Home-based exercise to help brain tumor survivors with thinking and memory

Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 15–39 - NCT07278440Recruiting
Exercise program for brain tumor patients and their partners
This study tests if a home exercise program can improve mental and physical health for people with brain tumors and their live-in partners. Both of you will be guided through exercise sessions together over video.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT04654975Recruiting
Metastatic brain tumors after esophagus surgery study
This study looks at people who had esophageal cancer surgery and later developed brain metastases. It may help doctors better understand who benefits from treatment planning after the original cancer surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain neoplasms?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 78 recruiting brain neoplasms 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 neoplasms 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 neoplasms 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.
