Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT06161974RecruitingPhase 2
Olutasidenib and temozolomide for IDH1-mutant high-grade glioma
This trial tests a combination of two oral medications, olutasidenib and temozolomide, for people with a specific type of aggressive brain tumor (high-grade glioma) that has an IDH1 mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the tumor after standard treatment like radiation.
Houston, TexasAges 12–39 - NCT05839379Recruiting
Targeted therapy study for children and young adults with brain tumors
This trial studies a targeted medicine approach for high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) and some diffuse midline tumors, including DIPG. It may help by matching treatment to tumor biology using tumor testing done before or around starting standard therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 1–39 - NCT05580562RecruitingPhase 3
ONC201 for newly diagnosed H3 K27M brain tumor after radiation
This study tests whether ONC201 (also called ONC201) can improve outcomes for people with a newly diagnosed H3 K27M–mutant diffuse brain tumor after they finish radiation. It looks for safety and whether treatment can help control the tumor.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT06333899RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Lorlatinib for newly diagnosed brain tumors with ROS or ALK fusion
This trial tests if lorlatinib, a targeted pill, can shrink or slow the growth of high-grade brain tumors that have a specific ROS or ALK genetic change. It is for children and young adults who have not yet had treatment for their tumor.
Houston, TexasAges 1–21 - NCT04655404RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Larotrectinib for children with newly diagnosed glioma with NTRK fusion
This trial tests larotrectinib, a targeted cancer medicine, in children and teens with newly diagnosed high-grade brain glioma that has an NTRK fusion. It may help shrink or control tumors by targeting a specific genetic change in the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 21 years - NCT05099003RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Selinexor plus radiation for newly diagnosed brain tumors
This trial studies whether adding selinexor to standard radiation can improve outcomes for children and young teens with certain newly diagnosed high-grade brain tumors (including DIPG). It’s designed for specific tumor types and genetic markers, and people must be able to start treatment soon after diagnosis.
Houston, TexasAges 1–21 - NCT05843253RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus everolimus or temozolomide for certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests ribociclib with either everolimus or temozolomide, depending on the specific brain tumor type. It may help slow tumor growth in children and young adults whose tumor has specific genetic changes and who have had recent standard radiation therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 1–39 - NCT06838676RecruitingPhase 2
ACT001 for DIPG and H3K27-altered high-grade gliomas
This trial tests a drug called ACT001 for people with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or certain high-grade gliomas that have a specific genetic change (H3K27-altered). It includes two groups: one for newly diagnosed DIPG after radiation, and another for progressive or recurrent disease.
Houston, TexasAges 1–39 - NCT04099797RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy for certain GD2 brain tumors
This Phase 1 study tests CAR T cells designed to target a marker called GD2 on brain tumors. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and whether it can shrink or control these tumors in children and young adults.
Houston, TexasAges 1–25 - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 1–21 - NCT05096481RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine trial for children with certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a vaccine made to target CMV (a virus) in order to treat children with medulloblastoma or newly diagnosed high-grade glioma/DIPG. If you’re eligible, you’d receive the study vaccine and the team would closely watch how well it’s tolerated and how your cancer responds.

What taking part in a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
