Predicting recovery with smell tests in coma
This study tests whether a simple smell test can help predict recovery of consciousness in patients who remain in a coma or minimally conscious state after a severe brain injury. If you or your loved one has been unresponsive for several days after sedation is stopped, this trial may provide useful information about prognosis.
Paris, GHU Psychiatrie Et NeurosciencesAges 18 years+ - NCT07134842RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy before standard brain cancer treatment
This trial tests giving the immunotherapy drug ipilimumab before the usual treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer). The goal is to see if this approach is safe and possible, and whether it might help the immune system fight the tumor better.
London, Greater LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07129317Recruiting
Pediatric radiation therapy registry

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,015 recruiting brain 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 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 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.
