Recruiting studies
- NCT06177964RecruitingPhase 2
Lerapolturev infusion for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new drug called lerapolturev (also known as PVSRIPO) for people whose glioblastoma has come back. The drug is delivered directly into the tumor during a small procedure. Researchers want to see if it can help control the tumor.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05979064Recruiting
Belly fat graft for recurrent brain tumor
This study tests if a piece of your own belly fat (omentum) placed in the brain during tumor surgery can help fight recurrent glioblastoma. It is for people who are already scheduled for surgery to remove their brain tumor.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05954858Recruiting
Surgical flap to help treat glioblastoma by bypassing the blood-brain barrier
This trial tests a surgical technique that places a tissue flap near a glioblastoma surgery site to help medicines reach the brain more effectively. You might be considered if you are planning major brain tumor surgery and meet specific health, imaging, and lab requirements.
New York, New YorkAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05086497Recruiting
Personal TTFields device guided by imaging for brain tumor
This trial tests whether using a personalized TTFields device—placed based on imaging—can help treat adults with glioblastoma (GBM) after surgery and radiation. It’s designed for specific GBM genetic types and may help deliver therapy more precisely.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 22 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+ - 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+ - NCT03596086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug plus radiation and chemo for recurrent brain cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether combining an HSV-tk “gene switch” treatment, valacyclovir tablets, focused radiation (SBRT), and chemotherapy can help people with recurrent glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth after standard treatments have already been tried.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03603405RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test vaccine and radiation with chemotherapy for new brain tumor
This trial studies a gene-based treatment (HSV-tk) given with radiation and chemotherapy for people newly diagnosed with glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. It may help the new brain tumor respond better to standard treatments, though risks and benefits are still being tested.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02861898RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cetuximab delivered into the brain tumor artery for new glioblastoma
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether giving cetuximab directly into the artery that feeds the brain tumor can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to target the tumor more precisely while checking safety and early signs of benefit.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02800486RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted antibody plus repeat radiation for recurrent brain tumors
This trial studies giving cetuximab (a targeted antibody) directly into an artery along with repeat radiation to treat certain recurring or treatment-resistant brain tumors. It may help by delivering the drug more directly to tumor areas and testing whether this approach can control the disease after it comes back.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT01269853RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bevacizumab directly into brain arteries for recurrent brain tumors
This early-stage trial tests whether giving a targeted cancer medicine (bevacizumab) directly into brain arteries can help shrink or control certain recurrent (coming back) brain tumors. It may be an option if standard treatments are no longer working.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gbm?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 86 recruiting gbm 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 gbm 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 gbm 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.
