Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05011045Recruiting
Brain radiation study tracking thinking and memory changes
This study looks at how whole-brain radiation affects thinking, memory, and other brain function in people with blood cancers that involve the brain. It may help doctors understand what to expect and which supportive treatments or monitoring could be useful.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.

Paxalisib for repeat or resistant brain lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests paxalisib to shrink or control primary CNS lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help by blocking specific cell-growth signals that can drive this lymphoma.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04830137RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug NX-2127 for hard-to-treat B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early effectiveness of NX-2127 in adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers. If you qualify, you may receive a new targeted treatment because your cancer has returned or not responded to prior therapies.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04792489RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T cell therapy for aggressive B-cell lymphomas
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell treatment (MB-CART2019.1) for people with certain types of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back or not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if this therapy can help when other options have failed.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04421560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab for PCNSL
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well a combination of pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab treats primary CNS lymphoma that came back or didn’t respond after prior brain treatment. It may help shrink the lymphoma and control it in the brain and fluid around the brain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04186520RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell treatment for hard-to-treat B-cell lymphomas
This trial studies a type of lab-made immune cell therapy (CAR T) using cells called CAR-20/19-T. It is for adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers, aiming to reduce or eliminate lymphoma in people whose disease has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–80 - NCT03959085RecruitingPhase 3
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for high-risk childhood leukemia
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding inotuzumab to standard post-induction chemotherapy improves outcomes for children and young teens with high-risk B-ALL, mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or certain high-risk B-LLy. It may help by targeting leukemia cells more directly, but participation depends on specific age, lab results, and medical history rules.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 months–25 years - NCT03328078RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Emavusertib for recurrent brain lymphoma after prior treatment
This Phase 1/2 trial tests emavusertib (a targeted medicine) in adults with primary central nervous system lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It’s designed to find safe dosing and see how well the treatment can control the lymphoma in the brain/spinal fluid.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07481669RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant for lymphoma at high risk of brain relapse
This trial tests a stem cell transplant with a special chemo combination (TEAM) to see if it can prevent lymphoma from coming back in the brain or spinal cord for people with high-risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06561048RecruitingPhase 3
Soquelitinib vs standard care for relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma
This trial compares a new drug, soquelitinib, with standard treatments for peripheral T-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to previous therapy. It may help people who have had one to three prior treatments and are looking for a new option.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06552559RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Selinexor plus ICE chemo for brain-involved B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new drug, selinexor, combined with standard ICE chemotherapy for patients whose B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma has spread to the brain or spinal cord. It aims to see if adding selinexor improves treatment results.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06649058RecruitingPhase 2
Study on combining drugs and radiation for brain metastases
This trial is for people with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). It tests a new approach where you start a systemic therapy (drugs that travel through your body) and later add focused radiation to the brain tumors, instead of treating them right away. The goal is to see if this sequence works well and avoids unnecessary side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT04532203RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T therapy for leukemia or lymphoma in the brain
This early-phase study tests CAR-T cells—immune cells engineered to recognize cancer—for people whose leukemia or lymphoma has spread to the central nervous system (the brain/spinal fluid). It may help shrink or control hard-to-treat (relapsed or refractory) cancers in the brain.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3–75 - NCT05969860RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment vs clinic treatment for advanced cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares giving certain standard cancer infusions at home versus in a clinic. It may help people avoid clinic visits while still receiving the same cancer treatment safely.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06099743Recruiting
Support program for people with brain tumors
This study tests a support program that helps people with brain tumors cope with their diagnosis and treatment. The program uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on accepting difficult emotions and committing to actions that improve well-being.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05475925RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug DR-01 for specific blood cancer types
This early-phase study tests DR-01 to treat large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGLL) or certain aggressive T-cell or cytotoxic lymphomas. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and can shrink or control the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06151730Recruiting
Managing blood pressure and heart risks during BTKi treatment
This study looks at how well blood pressure is managed and whether heart problems can be prevented in people with certain blood cancers who are taking a type of targeted therapy called a BTKi. It aims to help you stay healthier during treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT05031897RecruitingPhase 2
Haplo transplant with reduced donor mismatch and radiation
This trial tests a special bone marrow/stem cell transplant approach using a partially matched family donor, along with conditioning treatment that involves radiation. It aims to help treat certain blood cancers by replacing damaged blood-forming cells with new ones from the donor.
Philadephia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07022223RecruitingPhase 2
Orelabrutinib plus rituximab for first treatment of marginal zone lymphoma

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for central nervous system lymphoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 74 recruiting central nervous system lymphoma 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 central nervous system lymphoma 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 central nervous system lymphoma 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.
