Drug combination for recurrent brain tumors in children
This trial tests a combination of antiangiogenic drugs (which block blood supply to tumors) for children with certain brain or spinal tumors that have returned or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if this drug combo can shrink or slow the tumor.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 19 years - NCT04094610RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Repotrectinib for kids with certain cancer gene changes
This early-phase study tests repotrectinib, a targeted medicine, in children and young adults whose tumors have specific gene changes involving ROS1 or NTRK. It may help shrink advanced cancers that carry these gene alterations.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 25 years - NCT07236840Recruiting
Remote neurological exams via smartphone for brain tumor patients
This trial tests if a smartphone app can help patients or caregivers perform a neurological exam at home. It aims to make check-ups easier for people with brain tumors.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 5 years+ - NCT07233954Recruiting
Can Fluorescein Dye Help Remove Brain Tumors?
This study tests whether using a fluorescent dye called fluorescein (injected into a vein during surgery) helps neurosurgeons better see and remove aggressive brain or spinal cord tumors. It may lead to safer, more complete tumor removal.
MilanAges Any age - NCT06193759RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cell therapy for malignant pediatric brain tumors
This trial tests a new immune therapy using your child's own specially trained white blood cells to fight brain tumors. The treatment is given directly into the fluid around the brain, and it is for children with specific types of brain cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cns tumor?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 43 recruiting cns tumor 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 cns tumor 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 cns tumor 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.
