Recruiting studies
- NCT05083754RecruitingPhase 1
New glioblastoma trial testing immune drug plus radiation
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding an immune therapy called retifanlimab to radiation (and a chemotherapy medicine called temozolomide, in some parts of the study) is safe and helpful for newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients after surgery with carmustine wafers. It aims to see how well this combination controls the cancer and what side effects are expected.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT04977375RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Anti–PD-1 treatment plus focused radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a cancer-immunotherapy medicine (an anti–PD-1 antibody, similar to pembrolizumab) combined with precisely targeted radiation to treat glioblastoma that has come back or progressed. It may help your immune system recognize and attack the tumor while the radiation targets the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07668869Recruiting
Electric fields with targeted radiation vs. alone for recurrent brain cancer
This trial tests whether adding a precise, MRI-guided radiation treatment to tumor-treating electric fields (TTFields) can help people with recurrent glioblastoma. You may qualify if your tumor has come back 1 to 3 times after standard therapy and you haven't had certain prior treatments.
BydgoszczAges 18 years+ - NCT07552233Recruiting
NK Cell Therapy for Recurrent Brain Tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (NK cells) for patients with malignant brain tumors that have come back or worsened despite previous treatment. The goal is to see if these specially prepared immune cells can help fight the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06059690RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Imaging brain tumors to guide glioblastoma treatment
This trial studies a special imaging scan that combines MRI and PET to find active tumor areas in patients with glioblastoma. It aims to see if the scan can help identify the most aggressive parts of the tumor for surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05116137Enrolling by invitation
Exercise therapy to build muscle after glioblastoma
This trial studies whether a resistance (strength-building) exercise program can help survivors of glioblastoma keep or increase their muscle mass. If you are able to safely exercise, it may support recovery and overall strength after treatment.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06118723Recruiting
Supramaximal vs maximal surgery for brain tumors
This trial compares removing as much tumor as safely possible (supramaximal resection) with standard maximal resection in people with high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain tumor). The goal is to see if more extensive removal improves survival and quality of life.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT07501559RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of JL15003 for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial is testing a new drug (JL15003) given directly into the brain tumor using a small device called an Ommaya reservoir. It is for people whose glioblastoma has come back despite standard treatments. You will need to have had a polio vaccine booster before starting.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07464925RecruitingPhase 1
Testing GLIX1 for adults with returning high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new drug called GLIX1 to find a safe dose for people whose high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) has come back or is getting worse after earlier treatments. It may be an option if you've had no more than two prior treatments.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05708352RecruitingPhase 2
Ketogenic diet vs usual diet guidance for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests whether a very low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet helps people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma when combined with standard cancer treatment. You would compare this special diet guidance to the usual anti-cancer diet guidance while receiving the same standard-of-care treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04188535Recruiting
Scanning tumor response during radiation therapy
This study uses repeated MRI scans during radiation treatment to see how tumors change. It may help doctors adjust treatment and improve outcomes for many types of cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03005132Recruiting
Study for people with newly diagnosed brain cancer (GBM)
This trial looks at people with glioblastoma (GBM), a fast-growing brain tumor, to better understand it and how treatments might work. You may be able to join if you’re in a good general health range and have not had prior cancer chemotherapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07608003Recruiting
MRI AI model study for midline brain tumors
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze MRI scans of midline brain tumors (gliomas) to help predict how the disease may progress and improve treatment planning. Researchers are collecting data from multiple hospitals to teach an AI system to better understand these tumors.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT07567196Recruiting
PET imaging to guide surgery for aggressive brain tumors
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (a type of imaging that shows tumor activity) during brain tumor surgery helps doctors remove more of the tumor safely. You would have a high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain cancer) and be scheduled for surgery.
Torino, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT07391215RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Paxalisib for newly diagnosed glioblastoma after standard treatment
This trial tests a drug called paxalisib in people with a newly diagnosed aggressive brain tumor (glioblastoma) who have just finished standard radiation and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding paxalisib can help prevent the tumor from coming back by targeting a specific pathway in the cancer cells.
SuttonAges 16 years+ - NCT06687681RecruitingPhase 2
Natural killer cell therapy for brain tumors
This trial tests a new treatment using donated natural killer (NK) cells injected into the body to fight high-grade brain tumors. It might help people with certain types of aggressive gliomas that are newly diagnosed.
TehranAges 3–70 - NCT06016452RecruitingPhase 2
Chlorophyllin for brain radiation damage in glioma patients
This trial tests if chlorophyllin can help manage brain damage caused by radiation therapy in people with diffuse glioma. It may reduce symptoms or prevent them from getting worse.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–70 - NCT06926075RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early trial of KESONOTIDE™ for solid tumors
This trial tests a new tablet called KESONOTIDE™ for people with solid tumors that have spread. The goal is to see if it can help when other treatments have stopped working or are not an option.
Kogarah, New South WalesAges 18 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.
