Recruiting studies near Pittsburgh
- NCT07195591RecruitingPhase 3
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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06556563RecruitingPhase 3
Optune with chemo and immunotherapy for new glioblastoma
This trial tests whether adding the Optune device (a wearable electric field therapy) to standard chemotherapy (temozolomide) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer. You may be able to join if you've completed initial radiation and chemo, and have not received certain immunotherapies before.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06805305RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests a new personalized immunotherapy (DOC1021) for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The treatment uses your own immune cells to attack the tumor and is given after surgery and with standard chemotherapy and radiation.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07326566RecruitingPhase 2
Silevertinib and chemo for a type of glioblastoma
This trial tests a new drug, silevertinib, combined with temozolomide (a chemotherapy) for people with a newly diagnosed glioblastoma that has certain genetic markers. It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatment for tumors with these specific features.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06860594RecruitingPhase 1
Triapine plus radiation for recurrent brain tumors
This trial tests whether adding an experimental drug called triapine to a second round of radiation therapy can help treat brain tumors that have come back after initial treatment. It may be a good option for people with recurrent glioblastoma or astrocytoma who meet safety criteria.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05432804RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Selinexor added to temozolomide for recurring brain glioblastoma
This trial studies whether adding selinexor to the standard chemotherapy temozolomide (with radiation) can better treat glioblastoma that has come back after prior treatment. If you meet specific tumor, health, and lab requirements, the goal is to slow tumor growth or improve symptoms.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04427384Recruiting
Brain tumor patients treated with GammaTiles registry
This study is a patient registry for people with brain tumors who had surgery to remove as much as safely possible and then had GammaTiles placed. It mainly collects information and follow-up imaging to understand how patients do after the treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT03970447RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing several treatment options for new or returning glioblastoma
This trial studies different treatment regimens for people with glioblastoma that is either newly diagnosed or has come back. It aims to find which treatment approach works best for controlling the tumor and improving outcomes.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02977780RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment plan for specific glioblastoma tumor markers
This Phase 2 trial tests an individualized treatment approach for glioblastoma or gliosarcoma based on your tumor’s lab tests. It may help by matching therapy to tumor features and by checking how well this strategy works after surgery and planned radiation.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05283330RecruitingPhase 1
Tested 212Pb imaging drug for certain advanced GRPR tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe and tolerable an experimental radiation drug is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that show a target called GRPR. Doctors will also use special scans to confirm the tumor has the target so the treatment can be delivered to the right place.

What taking part in a glioblastoma study involves
A screening visit first
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
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
