MRI scans during radiation treatment
This study does repeated MRI (detailed brain/body imaging) while you receive radiation therapy. It aims to see how these serial scans relate to treatment and outcomes, which could help improve care planning for different cancers.

Starting radiation during brain cancer surgery vs. standard treatment
This trial tests putting radiation directly into the brain right after surgery for glioblastoma, instead of waiting for standard radiation later. It aims to see if this approach works better and is safe for you.

Can brain scans help predict glioblastoma progression?
This trial is testing whether certain details on brain scans can help doctors better predict how brain cancer (glioblastoma) will progress. You may be eligible if you are newly diagnosed with this type of cancer and plan to receive standard treatment.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05879367RecruitingPhase 1
Eflornithine plus temozolomide for newly diagnosed brain cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies whether adding eflornithine to temozolomide (chemotherapy) is safe and potentially helpful for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma or certain astrocytomas after radiation. It aims to find a workable treatment approach by closely monitoring side effects and early tumor responses.

Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
