ONC206 for certain brain tumors in children and young adults
This Phase 1 study tests ONC206, a new targeted medicine, for diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) with a specific gene change (H3K27 altered) and for some other recurrent brain/spinal cord cancers. It is designed to find the right dose and see whether it can control or shrink tumors after initial treatment or when the cancer returns.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–21 - NCT01356290RecruitingPhase 2
Anti-cancer blood-vessel treatment for relapsed childhood brain tumors
This trial tests a treatment that targets tumor blood-vessel growth to slow or shrink relapsed/progressive brain tumors in children. It may help if standard options are no longer working.

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 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–30 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07713550Recruiting
Genetic profiling to guide treatment for advanced solid tumors
This study tests whether analyzing the DNA of your tumor (from a tissue sample or blood draw) can help find the best treatment for your advanced cancer. Researchers will look for genetic changes that could make you eligible for targeted therapy or a clinical trial.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT03838042RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing nivolumab plus entinostat for high-risk childhood cancers
This trial studies whether nivolumab (an immune therapy) plus entinostat (an epigenetic medicine) can help children and teens with high-risk cancers that have come back, worsened, or did not respond to prior treatment. It also looks at specific tumor “biomarkers” to group patients and guide how the study is run.

InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT07148050RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for children with solid tumors
This trial tests a new kind of immunotherapy for children and teens with solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses specially engineered T cells (CAR T cells) that target a protein called GPC3 found on many tumor cells, and it includes extra signals (IL-15 and IL-21) to help the T cells work better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cns tumor?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 39 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.
