This trial tests whether injecting a chemotherapy drug called thiotepa into the fluid around the brain and spine can prevent glioblastoma from spreading in patients whose tumor touches the fluid-filled spaces or who had a leak during surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07130149Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Sonodynamic therapy plus chemoradiation for glioblastoma
This trial combines a new therapy (sonodynamic therapy) with standard radiation and chemotherapy for glioblastoma. It aims to see if this approach is safe and how well it works for people who have just been diagnosed and had surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges Up to 75 years - NCT06757153RecruitingEarly Phase 1
NRG-103 injection for recurrent glioblastoma patients
This trial tests an injection called NRG-103 given directly into the cavity where a recurrent brain tumor was removed. It is for people with glioblastoma that has come back and who have already had standard treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07346144RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy study for high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new gene therapy given directly into the brain tumor. It's for people with high-grade glioma, either newly diagnosed or after one recurrence, to see if it can help control the tumor.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT07052877Recruiting
Studying PSMA imaging in glioblastoma with bevacizumab
This trial tests whether adding a special imaging scan (PSMA PET) before and after the drug bevacizumab can help see how the drug affects glioblastoma tumors. It aims to understand tumor changes better, which may help guide future treatments.
Saint Leonards, New South WalesAges 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
