Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT04842812RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized immune cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests engineered immune cells (TILs/CAR-TILs) made from your tumor to treat advanced solid cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. It may help your immune system better recognize and attack the cancer, but it is mainly focused on safety and early results.
GuangzhouAges 18–85 - NCT07680439RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T cell therapy study for children with DIPG brain tumor
This trial tests a new CAR T cell therapy (BCB-276) for children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called DIPG. The therapy uses your own immune cells that are specially trained to attack the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–26 - 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+ - NCT07413796Recruiting
Comparing skin closure methods in brain tumor surgery
This study compares two ways to close the skin after brain tumor surgery: a continuous stitch under the skin versus separate stitches through the skin. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing and appearance.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 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 - NCT06911333RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A new drug for advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to treatment
This trial tests a new drug called AD1208 for people with advanced solid tumors that have grown despite previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help where other options no longer work or are not suitable.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06922487Recruiting
Tiredness study during awake brain tumor surgery
This trial looks at tiredness during awake brain surgery for tumor removal. It might help understand how awake procedures affect patients.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT06922500Recruiting
Brain-Wave Monitoring During Brain Tumor Surgery
This study tests a special brain-wave monitor (called processed EEG) during surgery to remove a brain tumor. The monitor helps the anesthesiologist keep you at the right level of sleep, which may improve safety and recovery.
LundAges 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 - NCT07186556Recruiting
Exercise program for fatigue in young brain tumor survivors
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program (done through video calls) can help reduce fatigue in young adult brain tumor survivors. If you’re 18–39 and struggle with tiredness after treatment, this program may help you feel better.
Houston, TexasAges 18–39 - 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 - NCT07132190RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for growing brain tumors with same-day planning
This study tests whether a precise, one-day radiation treatment for brain tumors that are growing or in tricky spots can be effective with a smaller safety margin. It's designed for people whose brain tumors are changing quickly or sitting near areas of swelling or recent surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06962215Recruiting
Simulation training for paramedics caring for brain tumor patients
This study tests whether training paramedics with realistic simulations can improve the hospital experience for patients with malignant brain tumors. If you are staying in neurosurgery before your diagnosis is confirmed, you may be able to join.
Brest, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06831461Recruiting
Proton vs photon radiation for brain tumors
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for adults with primary brain tumors that have a good outlook (expected survival longer than 5 years). You will receive either standard photon radiation or the more targeted proton radiation, to see if one works better or causes fewer side effects.
MumbaiAges 18–70 - 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+ - 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 - NCT05480644Recruiting
Blood biomarker study for brain tumor patients
This study collects blood (and looks at samples) from adults who have a confirmed brain tumor, either one that started in the brain or one that spread to the brain. The goal is to understand biomarkers—signals in the body—that may help improve diagnosis or tracking over time.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05740839Recruiting
High-intensity exercise program for young brain tumor survivors
This pilot study tests whether a high-intensity interval exercise routine is safe and doable for young adult survivors of pediatric brain tumors. It may help you improve fitness and quality of life while researchers closely monitor safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT05559853Recruiting
MRI scan study to track brain tumor changes after treatment
This study tests a new MRI (brain scan) method to see how brain tumors change over time after treatment. There are also parts for healthy adults to help with developing and comparing the scan technique.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05571579Recruiting
Collecting blood and tissue samples from confirmed brain tumors
This study collects biological samples from adults with a confirmed brain tumor. Samples may help researchers better understand brain tumors and improve future treatments.
Bron, RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT05298995RecruitingPhase 1

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain tumor adult?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 169 recruiting brain tumor adult 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 adult 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 adult 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.
