Recruiting studies
- NCT06463262Recruiting
Personalized markers for chordoma before surgery and radiation
This trial tests whether analyzing blood and tumor samples before and after radiation and surgery can help find personalized markers for chordoma. It is for patients with chordoma of the skull base, spine, or sacrum who will receive radiation before surgery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06794645RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab and Pemetrexed for Growing Chordoma
This trial tests two drugs—pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and pemetrexed—for people with chordoma that has continued to grow. The goal is to see if the combination can slow or stop the tumor. You'll need to be in fairly good health and able to take other medicines (folic acid and vitamin B12) to protect your body from side effects.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03910465Recruiting
Study for children and adults with chordoma
This trial studies people with chordoma (a rare bone/soft-tissue tumor) and collects information and samples to learn more about the disease. It may help by improving understanding of chordoma and supporting future research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT04832620Recruiting
Using MRI-guided planning to improve proton radiation for rare bone tumors
This trial is testing a better way to plan proton radiation using MRI images, aiming to deliver treatment more accurately for chordoma or chondrosarcoma in the spine/sacrum area. You may benefit if the trial’s planning method helps target the tumor while sparing nearby healthy tissue.
Delft, South HollandAges 50 years+ - NCT05861245Recruiting
Proton radiation in 5 or 25 treatments for skull-base tumors
This trial tests a radiation plan using protons given in either 5 or 25 sessions for chordoma or chondrosarcoma at the skull base. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor while protecting nearby critical nerves and brain structures.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT02986516Recruiting
Surgery or definitive radiation for primary sacral chordoma
This trial compares two standard treatment approaches—surgery versus definitive radiation—for people with a primary sacral chordoma (a bone tumor at the lower spine/pelvis area). It aims to find which approach works best for controlling the tumor while considering treatment side effects.
GrazAges 18–80 - NCT05888064Recruiting
Imaging-guided personalized radiation for skull-base chordoma
This trial studies how detailed imaging can guide personalized (custom) radiation treatment for skull-base chordoma. It may help doctors plan treatment more accurately using measurements taken before and during therapy.
Pavia, PvAges 18 years+ - NCT05033288Recruiting
Compare radiation types and surgery for pelvic bone sarcomas
This study compares three treatment approaches—carbon ion radiation, proton radiation, and surgery—for sarcomas in the pelvis that involve bone. It looks to see which option best controls the tumor while helping protect nearby tissues.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 15 years+ - NCT06029218Recruiting
Comparing one vs two proton beams for bone and spine tumors
This trial is testing whether using only one proton beam per day is as safe and effective as using two beams for treating certain bone and spine tumors. It may help reduce treatment time and side effects.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT02838602Recruiting
Carbon beam radiation vs standard radiation for resistant tumors
This study compares carbon beam radiation with standard radiation for tumors that are less likely to respond to usual radiation. It aims to see whether carbon beams can improve control of the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06625190RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Half-matched transplant with zoledronic acid for resistant solid tumors
This trial tests a new approach using a special type of transplant (with cells from a half-matched family donor) plus a drug called zoledronic acid. It is for children and young adults with certain solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 6 months–25 years

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chordoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting chordoma 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 chordoma 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 chordoma 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.
