Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT07417085Recruiting
Study of gut bacteria in children with brain tumors
This study looks at how gut bacteria (the microbiome) may differ in children with brain tumors. Researchers will collect samples before and after surgery to understand the connection between gut health and brain tumors.
Florence, FirenzeAges 3–18 - NCT07411690Recruiting
Spinal fluid leak after brain tumor surgery
This trial checks for spinal fluid leaks after surgery to remove brain tumors. If you are having a planned first-time surgery for a tumor in the upper part of the brain, you may be eligible.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT07390539RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells targeting B7-H3 for brain tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune therapy (CAR T cells) that targets a protein called B7-H3 found on some brain tumors. It is for children and young adults with certain brain or spinal cord tumors that have come back after standard treatment, and aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–21 - NCT07381959Recruiting
Brain injury markers in children with brain tumors
This study looks at markers of brain injury in children with brain tumors who have or have not received radiation therapy, compared to healthy children. It aims to better understand how treatments affect the brain.
UppsalaAges Up to 17 years - NCT03684109Recruiting
MRI scans to study brain tumors using molecular imaging
This study uses special MRI scans to better “characterize” (study) gliomas, a type of brain tumor, using information from your brain tissue. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a suspected or confirmed glioma and you already need a biopsy or surgery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07552233Recruiting
NK Cell Therapy for Recurrent Brain Tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (NK cells) for patients with malignant brain tumors that have come back or worsened despite previous treatment. The goal is to see if these specially prepared immune cells can help fight the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07224503Recruiting
Comparing two programs for brain tumor patients
This study compares two programs that help brain tumor patients with thinking and memory issues. The goal is to see which program works better for improving daily life.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07198256Recruiting
AI-assisted diagnosis of brain tumors
This trial tests an AI tool that helps diagnose brain tumors like glioma, brain metastases, and lymphoma using MRI scans. It may allow faster and more accurate diagnosis without needing additional tests.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–100 - NCT07179328RecruitingPhase 1
Focused ultrasound for glioblastoma during standard chemo
This trial tests whether focused ultrasound can safely open the blood-brain barrier to help your chemotherapy work better. It is for people with glioblastoma who have already completed standard surgery and chemo-radiation and are now on maintenance chemo.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT05023434Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for hand strength in brain tumor patients
This study uses brain stimulation during surgery to see how it affects hand strength and hand function. It may help doctors understand which brain areas are important for hand movement in people with certain brain tumors.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–75 - NCT06807619RecruitingPhase 1
Sotorasib for people with brain tumors needing surgery
This study tests a drug called sotorasib in people with brain tumors who are already scheduled for surgery or a biopsy. It may help find out if the drug can reach and treat the tumor.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT03213002RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAPTEM pills after brain radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial studies whether taking two chemotherapy pills (capecitabine and temozolomide) after the initial 6-week radiation-and-chemo phase can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to test safety and early effectiveness right before the usual maintenance temozolomide phase.
New York, New YorkAges 18–74 - NCT07620470Recruiting
Brain Tumor Imaging Study Using Advanced CT Scans
This study examines how a specialized CT scanner (Spectral CT) captures detailed images of brain tumors. Researchers will review your imaging scans to understand how well this technology helps doctors see and understand brain tumors.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05947045Recruiting
Virtual reality cognitive training during brain tumor radiotherapy
This trial tests whether a computer-based cognitive training program in a virtual reality setting can help children think and learn while they are getting radiation for a brain tumor. You and a parent will decide together if it’s a good fit, and the child must be able to complete the study tasks.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 8–22 - NCT06357377RecruitingPhase 1
NEO100 for children with high-grade brain tumors
This trial tests a new drug called NEO100 for children with certain types of brain tumors. It is given through a needle into the tumor or nearby fluid, and the study looks at safety and the right dose.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 5–18 - NCT06306118Recruiting
Guiding device for more precise brain biopsies
This trial tests a new positioning device that helps doctors take small tissue samples (biopsies) from brain lesions more precisely during surgery. If you have a brain lesion that needs to be removed, this study may help improve accuracy.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–80 - NCT06185686Recruiting
Brain Network Changes in Kids with Brain Tumors After Proton Radiation
This study looks at how proton radiation affects brain networks in children and teens with brain tumors. It uses MRI scans and computer tasks to understand changes in the brain during and after treatment.
St Louis, MissouriAges 8–21 - NCT06101069Recruiting
New MRI scan to tell tumor from radiation damage
This study tests a special MRI technique to better distinguish between tumor regrowth and radiation-related changes in people with brain tumors. If you've had radiation for a brain tumor and now have suspicious changes, this scan might help guide your next steps.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–60 - NCT05831631Recruiting
Study immune cells in brain tumors during neurosurgery
This study looks at different immune cells in the blood and inside brain tumors. It includes adults who have a malignant brain tumor and need a neurosurgery procedure, such as surgery, stereotactic biopsy, or radiosurgery, to help doctors better understand the immune response.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07688356RecruitingPhase 2
Belvarafenib for BRAF-altered brain tumors
This trial tests a drug called Belvarafenib for people with brain tumors that have a BRAF gene change (mutation). The drug targets this specific change to try to shrink or control the tumor. It is for patients whose brain tumor has come back or hasn't responded to other treatments.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05571579Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain tumor?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 269 recruiting brain tumor 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 tumor 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 tumor 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.
