This trial studies a special imaging scan that combines MRI and PET to find active tumor areas in patients with glioblastoma. It aims to see if the scan can help identify the most aggressive parts of the tumor for surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06599879Recruiting
Brain radiation effects on memory and attention in kids
This study looks at how radiation from brain tumor treatment affects memory, attention, and thinking skills in children. It uses brain scans and tests to understand these effects.
AngersAges 6–14 - NCT06769425RecruitingPhase 1
Combination treatment for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new combination treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapy. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06989086Recruiting
FearLess support for brain tumor patients and caregivers
This study tests a program to help people with brain tumors and their caregivers manage fear of recurrence. You would attend virtual sessions to learn coping skills.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07180927RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
DLL3 car-t therapy for recurrent brain tumors
This trial tests a new immune therapy called DLL3 CAR-T cells for people with brain tumors that have come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if these specially designed cells can attack the tumor safely.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 2–70 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT07081984RecruitingPhase 1
Testing TI-0093 for advanced HPV-16 positive cancers
This study tests a new drug, TI-0093, for people with HPV‑16 positive solid tumors (like head and neck or cervical cancer) that have come back or spread after standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
