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+ - NCT00811148Recruiting

This study is for people (children or adults) who are planning brain surgery to remove tumor tissue. It may help researchers learn about care for brain tumors and how outcomes can be improved.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Any age - NCT07225101RecruitingPhase 4
Testing STRATAFIX stitches for brain and spine surgery
This trial tests a special type of stitch (called STRATAFIX) for closing wounds after brain or spine surgery. It may help the wound heal better and reduce complications.
Lansing, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06894238Recruiting
Can brain waves predict confusion after brain surgery?
This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07424092RecruitingPhase 2
Virus injection for children with recurrent brain tumors
This trial is testing a virus called DNX-2401, which is injected directly into the tumor, for children and young adults with high-grade brain tumors that have come back or are hard to treat. The goal is to see if this virus can shrink or control the tumor.
UtrechtAges 1–25 - NCT06136884RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AO-252 for advanced solid tumors with or without brain metastases
This trial tests an experimental oral pill (AO-252) that targets a protein called TACC3 in advanced solid tumors, including those that have spread to the brain. It is for people whose cancer has a specific genetic change (TP53 mutation) or who have prostate cancer, and who have already tried other treatments.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06146725Recruiting
Resection vs. biopsy in high-grade glioma patients
This study compares whether having surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible (resection) or just taking a small sample (biopsy) leads to better outcomes for people with a fast-growing brain tumor (high-grade glioma). The goal is to help guide treatment decisions.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06799481Recruiting
Home-based exercise to help brain tumor survivors with thinking and memory
This study tests whether a virtual home-based exercise program can improve thinking and memory problems caused by brain tumor treatment in teens and young adults. It also looks at how exercise affects gut health.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 15–39 - NCT06878469Recruiting
Simplifying care for rare brain tumors with AI
This study uses artificial intelligence to improve care for adults with rare brain tumors who are scheduled for surgery. It aims to make treatment pathways simpler and better tailored to each patient.
Milan, PAAges 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 - 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 - NCT07049094RecruitingPhase 4
Scalp nerve block for pain after brain surgery
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine (bupivacaine liposomes) injected into scalp nerves can reduce pain after brain surgery. It may help you need less pain medicine and feel better after your operation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07460037Recruiting
Brain signal study for speech recovery after stroke or injury
This trial uses a special brain-mapping test called high-density ECoG to study how people who have lost speech due to stroke, brain tumor, or ALS can be helped by reading brain signals when they imagine speaking. It may lead to new devices that let people with severe speech problems communicate using only their thoughts.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 20–80 - NCT06391294Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation study for language mapping during awake surgery
This study uses gentle electrical stimulation on the brain during awake surgery to understand how language works. It's for people having brain tumor removal or epilepsy monitoring who can speak English and do not have serious speech or thinking problems.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT06501521Recruiting
Non-invasive brain tumor testing and monitoring
This study is testing a new, non-invasive way to diagnose and monitor brain tumors. It may offer a less risky option compared to traditional biopsies.
OlomoucAges 18–99 - NCT07087002RecruitingPhase 1
GPC2-CAR T cells for children and young adults with relapsed medulloblastoma
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy called GPC2-CAR T cells for children and young adults whose medulloblastoma or related brain tumor has come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if these specially designed immune cells can find and attack the tumor.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT06398418RecruitingPhase 1
Study of R-5780 with PD-1 drugs for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called R-5780 combined with standard immunotherapy (PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors) for people with advanced skin cancers or other solid tumors that have stopped responding to treatment. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helps fight the cancer.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–80 - NCT07139990RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized radiotherapy for lung cancer or brain tumors
This trial tests whether giving tailored radiation alongside standard treatments can improve outcomes for people with extensive stage small cell lung cancer or solid tumors that have spread to the brain. It aims to personalize your treatment plan based on your specific situation.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07130786RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing seizures with medication for brain tumors in movement area
This study tests whether giving a seizure medication (levetiracetam) to people with brain tumors in the movement area can prevent seizures. It compares taking the medication to not taking it, starting before any seizure occurs.

New treatment study for children and young adults with NGGCT brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a new treatment approach for certain brain tumors called NGGCT in children and young adults. It may help improve outcomes by targeting tumors in specific brain locations and using tumor marker tests to guide care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–29 - NCT05856981RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ADU-1805 for advanced solid tumors safety
This early study tests whether ADU-1805 is safe in people with advanced solid tumors and checks how the body processes the drug. Depending on your cancer type, it may also be looking specifically at certain cancers that have not yet received PD-(L)1 immunotherapy.
