Glioblastoma clinical trials in Maryland
We’re tracking 17 recruiting glioblastoma studies with a site in Maryland — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT07416188RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
LMP744 drug for returning glioblastoma
This trial tests an experimental drug called LMP744 for people whose glioblastoma has come back. It aims to see if the drug can slow or stop tumor growth by targeting specific proteins in cancer cells.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05303467RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of a glioblastoma device for recurring tumors
This early study tests whether a device called TheraSphere is safe when delivered into the brain to treat recurrent glioblastoma. It may help patients by trying a targeted treatment approach, while doctors carefully monitor side effects and safety.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05902169RecruitingPhase 3
Ultrasound with carboplatin for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a device that opens the blood-brain barrier using ultrasound, allowing chemotherapy to reach the brain tumor better. It compares this approach to standard chemotherapy for people whose glioblastoma has returned.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06344130RecruitingPhase 1
Shorter radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new, shorter course of radiation therapy (called hypofractionation) for people with glioblastoma that has come back. It is for patients who have already had radiation and are doing well enough to consider another round.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07375992Recruiting
Music therapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests whether attending virtual music therapy sessions can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma feel better after chemoradiation. It aims to improve quality of life and emotional well-being.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00083512Recruiting
Blood and Urine Collection in Glioblastoma Radiation Therapy
This study collects blood and urine samples from patients receiving radiation treatment for glioblastoma (a serious brain tumor) to help researchers understand how the body responds to radiation therapy. Participating is straightforward—you provide samples during your regular treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06161519RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PLX038 for brain tumors with MYC or MYCN changes
This study tests a new drug called PLX038 for people with brain or spinal cord tumors that have certain genetic changes (MYC or MYCN) or have come back after treatment. The drug is given as an infusion and targets tumor cells. The study aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for different types of these tumors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT04181684Recruiting
Laser surgery plus targeted radiation for recurrent brain gliomas
This trial studies whether a special laser procedure (LITT) followed by focused, reduced-dose radiation can control glioma tumors that have come back. It may help people with recurrent brain tumors avoid or delay more extensive treatment.
Bel Air, MarylandAges 22 years+ - NCT04541082RecruitingPhase 1
Oral ONC206 for recurrent brain and spinal tumors
This early-phase study tests an oral medicine called ONC206 in adults with recurrent, rare brain or spinal cord tumors. The goal is to find a safe dose and look for signs the treatment can shrink or control the cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04699773Recruiting
Laser treatment then focused radiation for new brain gliomas
This trial studies a two-step treatment for newly diagnosed high-grade glioma: first laser treatment (LITT) to target the tumor, followed by a shorter, more focused course of radiation. It may help shrink or control the tumor while limiting treatment time.
Bel Air, MarylandAges 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.
Glen Burnie, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05768919RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Liposomal curcumin with radiation and temozolomide for new brain cancer
This early-phase study tests whether liposomal curcumin, added to standard radiation plus temozolomide, can improve treatment outcomes in newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas. It focuses on safety and how well the treatment can be given with the usual therapy plan.

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.

Common questions
- Are there glioblastoma clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 17 recruiting glioblastoma studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a glioblastoma study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a glioblastoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
