Recruiting studies
- NCT01356290RecruitingPhase 2
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 - NCT06607692RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
LuPARPed: Targeted radiation plus olaparib for certain childhood cancers
This trial tests a combination of a radioactive drug (Lutathera) and a targeted pill (olaparib) for children and teens whose solid tumors have come back or not responded to treatment and show high levels of a specific receptor (SSTR) on scans. The goal is to see if this two-drug approach can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Boadilla del Monte, MadridAges 3 years+ - NCT05057702Recruiting
Personalized surgery-focused treatment plan for relapsed brain cancer
This study tests a personalized treatment plan for children and young adults whose medulloblastoma or ependymoma has come back. It aims to guide doctors using new tissue from surgery or biopsy after earlier treatments are fully finished.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–39 - NCT05857969RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cancer drug response on removed tumor tissue
This early study uses tumor tissue (or bone marrow from blood cancers) and performs lab tests to see which cancer drugs may work better for each person. It also collects genetic information from blood or a saliva swab to help understand why cancers respond differently.
Miami, FloridaAges 1 day–21 years - NCT04732065RecruitingPhase 1
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 - NCT07664176RecruitingPhase 1
Focused ultrasound plus nivolumab for children with brain tumors
This trial tests if combining focused ultrasound (which opens the blood-brain barrier) with the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can treat relapsed or progressive brainstem gliomas and other high-grade brain tumors in children and young adults.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3–25 - NCT07017816RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene therapy, checkpoint inhibitor, and radiation for children with brain cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment for children and young adults with brain tumors that have come back or not responded to standard therapy. The treatment includes a gene therapy (SGT-53) that delivers a normal TP53 gene, a checkpoint inhibitor drug that helps the immune system attack the cancer, and focused radiation. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and can shrink tumors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3–21 - NCT05278208RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lutathera for high-grade brain tumors that returned or got worse
This trial tests if Lutathera, a radioactive drug that targets certain tumors, can help children and young adults with high-grade brain tumors or meningiomas that have come back or are growing. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and works.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 4–39 - NCT07390539RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells targeting B7-H3 for brain tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune therapy (CAR T cells) that targets a protein called B7-H3 found on some brain tumors. It is for children and young adults with certain brain or spinal cord tumors that have come back after standard treatment, and aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–21 - 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 - NCT07061626RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for recurrent ependymoma and high-grade glioma
This trial tests a radioactive drug (Rhenium-186) injected directly into the brain tumor to see the highest safe dose for children and young adults with ependymoma or high-grade glioma that has come back or is not responding to standard treatments. It may help shrink the tumor without needing surgery right away.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 6–21 - NCT07424092RecruitingPhase 2
Virus injection for children with recurrent brain tumors
This trial is testing a virus called DNX-2401, which is injected directly into the tumor, for children and young adults with high-grade brain tumors that have come back or are hard to treat. The goal is to see if this virus can shrink or control the tumor.
UtrechtAges 1–25 - NCT04185038RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy through a catheter for pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR T) delivered directly in the brain-area space using a catheter. It may help children and young adults with hard-to-treat (recurrent or refractory) diffuse midline brain tumors like DIPG/DMG when standard options aren’t working.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 1–26 - NCT04541082RecruitingPhase 1
Oral ONC206 for recurrent brain and spinal tumors
This early-phase study tests an oral medicine called ONC206 in adults with recurrent, rare brain or spinal cord tumors. The goal is to find a safe dose and look for signs the treatment can shrink or control the cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ependymoma recurrent?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting ependymoma recurrent 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 ependymoma recurrent 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 ependymoma recurrent 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.
