Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04573140RecruitingPhase 1
RNA vaccine study for newly diagnosed adult and pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies an “RNA-lipid particle” vaccine given after surgery for certain newly diagnosed brain cancers (glioblastoma in adults, high-grade glioma in children/teens). The goal is to see whether the vaccine is safe and can train the immune system to fight the tumor.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4 years+ - NCT04765514RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo with radiation versus chemo alone for older brain tumor patients
This trial compares two standard treatments for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (a serious brain cancer) in older and frail patients: chemo plus radiation versus chemo alone. It may help determine which approach works best and is safest for people in your age and health group.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 65 years+ - NCT04765098RecruitingPhase 2
Tamoxifen or Etoposide for recurring brain tumor after prior treatment
This trial tests whether tamoxifen works as well as etoposide in people whose glioblastoma has come back after standard chemotherapy and radiation with temozolomide. It aims to find a better medication option for controlling the tumor after the first return.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–65 - NCT05366179RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized CAR-T therapy for recurring brain tumor
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR-T) made from your own cells to attack a marker called B7-H3 on recurring glioblastoma. It may help shrink or control the tumor, but the main goal is to check safety and how the treatment works.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05500612Recruiting
MRI oxygen scan study for glioblastoma during radiation treatment
This study uses special MRI scans to measure oxygen levels in and around glioblastoma before and during radiation treatment. It may help researchers understand how oxygen affects treatment response and timing.
St Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05686798RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy plus radiation for recurring brain tumor
This early-phase study tests a “suicide gene” therapy delivered by a virus along with radiation for adults whose high-grade brain tumor has come back or grown again. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help control the tumor.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05734560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug via brain catheter for newly diagnosed GBM
This Phase 1/2 trial tests two experimental treatments delivered through a thin catheter placed in the brain for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM). The goal is to see whether the treatment can be given safely and whether it may shrink or control the tumor after standard chemotherapy and radiation.
