- NCT07417774Enrolling by invitation
Blood test monitoring for glioblastoma treated with chemoradiation and oxygen therapy
This substudy looks at a blood test (liquid biopsy) to track glioblastoma during standard chemoradiation and an experimental oxygen-boosting drug. It aims to see if the test can help monitor the tumor more easily than scans alone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05879367RecruitingPhase 1

It aims to find a workable treatment approach by closely monitoring side effects and early tumor responses.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533163Recruiting
Magnetic therapy for new glioblastoma
This trial tests a new low-intensity magnetic treatment (like a gentle magnetic pad placed on your head) for people with a newly diagnosed, aggressive brain tumor called glioblastoma. It aims to see if different amounts of exposure to this therapy are safe and help slow tumor growth.
Stuttgart, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07488754Recruiting
Targeted radiation therapy for new glioma (grade 3-4)
This trial tests a new type of targeted radiation therapy for people with high-grade glioma (grade 3 or 4) that has not progressed after standard treatment. The therapy uses a radioactive substance attached to a protein that targets tumor cells, aiming to deliver radiation directly to the cancer.
Warsaw, PolandAges 18–80 - NCT07627334Recruiting
Personalized drug testing for newly diagnosed brain tumors
This trial tests whether customized drug screening on your tumor cells can help doctors choose the best treatment for you. Your tumor cells will be grown in the lab and tested against different drugs to find what works best, combined with short-course radiation therapy.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges Any age - 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+ - NCT03672721RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Carboplatin with radiation for returning glioblastoma
This Phase 1/2 study tests a combination of carboplatin chemotherapy with radiation for glioblastoma that has come back. It aims to shrink or control the tumor after standard treatment has already been used.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06717295Recruiting
Blood test to find cancer early and track treatment
This study uses a blood test that looks at your platelets and immune cells to find common cancers early, and for certain cancers, to monitor how well treatment is working.
RosarioAges 40–75 - NCT06989086Recruiting
FearLess support for brain tumor patients and caregivers
This study tests a program to help people with brain tumors and their caregivers manage fear of recurrence. You would attend virtual sessions to learn coping skills.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07268053RecruitingEarly Phase 1
B7-H3 drug for recurrent brain tumor or brain metastases
This trial tests a drug called GSK5764227 (a B7-H3 targeted antibody-drug conjugate) in people whose glioblastoma has come back after standard treatment, or who have brain metastases that need surgery. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink or control the tumor.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07459101Recruiting
MR-guided radiation therapy for high-grade brain tumors
This study tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy for a type of aggressive brain tumor called glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma. Patients get MRI scans during each treatment so the radiation beam can be adjusted precisely, aiming to improve outcomes.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06896110Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Spinal chemo and immunotherapy for recurrent high-grade glioma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—azacitidine and nivolumab—given directly into the spinal fluid for people whose high-grade glioma has come back after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can safely target the tumor and slow its growth.
Iowa City, IowaAges 13 years+ - NCT06690216Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
PET scan study for PD-L1 in certain cancers
This trial tests a new PET imaging agent, [18F]AlF-NOTA-PCP2, to detect PD-L1 protein in tumors. It may help guide treatment decisions for people with glioblastoma, head and neck, lung, or esophageal cancer.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06632236RecruitingPhase 1
Amivantamab for advanced brain tumors
This trial tests a new drug called amivantamab for people with advanced brain tumors, including glioblastoma. It aims to see if the drug can shrink or slow tumor growth.
CambridgeAges 16 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+ - NCT06883747RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of BMS-986504 for recurrent brain tumor
This trial tests an experimental drug, BMS-986504, for people with recurrent glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer). The drug targets a specific genetic change in the tumor. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink or slow the tumor.
