Recruiting studies
- NCT03383978RecruitingPhase 1
Test brain injections plus IV antibody for HER2-positive glioblastoma
This early-phase study tests a combination of cells injected directly into the brain and an IV antibody to treat recurrent HER2-positive glioblastoma (or a related tumor, gliosarcoma). It may help by attacking the tumor locally in the brain while the antibody boosts the immune system’s response.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT02861898RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cetuximab delivered into the brain tumor artery for new glioblastoma
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether giving cetuximab directly into the artery that feeds the brain tumor can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to target the tumor more precisely while checking safety and early signs of benefit.
New York, New YorkAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT02394626RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery for glioblastoma that has come back
This trial studies whether operating on a brain tumor that has returned can help people with recurrent glioblastoma. It focuses on people whose scans suggest surgery is safe for important speech and movement brain areas.
InnsbruckAges 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 - 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 - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06160596Recruiting
Understanding long-term cancer survival in hard-to-treat tumors
This study looks at why some people with hard-to-treat cancers live much longer than expected. It collects tumor samples to search for clues that might help future patients.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT07862647RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted light therapy with chemotherapy for newly diagnosed butterfly glioblastoma
This trial tests a new light-based treatment that is given alongside standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with a type of brain tumor called 'butterfly glioblastoma'. The goal is to see if adding this therapy can improve outcomes for patients with this challenging condition.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT07865195Recruiting
Study of brain tumors in Réunion island residents
This study gathers information about people diagnosed with a type of brain tumor called diffuse glioma in Réunion island. It aims to better understand the disease, its impact, and the care provided, which may help improve future treatments and support.
Saint-PierreAges Any age - NCT06041555Recruiting
MRI-guided radiotherapy study for five cancer types
This study collects MRI scans and treatment data from patients getting MRI-guided radiotherapy for certain cancers. It aims to improve radiation treatment planning using imaging and biological information.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07832734Recruiting
Brain tumor tissue analysis for glioma diagnosis
This study looks at the chemicals and genes in brain tumors called gliomas to find better ways to diagnose and treat them. People with a brain mass that needs surgery may be able to join.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07831369RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for recurrent glioma
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—valproic acid, irinotecan, and simvastatin—to see if they can help people whose brain tumor (glioma) has come back despite earlier treatment. The goal is to slow or stop tumor growth.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18–98 - NCT06623565Recruiting
Advanced imaging for extensive brain tumor removal
This trial uses advanced imaging to help surgeons remove as much of a malignant brain tumor as safely possible. It may be a good fit if you have a new diagnosis of glioblastoma or a certain astrocytoma and are healthy enough for surgery.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07731555Recruiting
Studying the brain barrier in glioblastoma
This study looks at how the brain's protective barrier works in people with glioblastoma. Researchers will study tumor tissue and use special scans to learn more, which might help improve future treatments.
BeaumontAges 18 years+ - NCT04267978RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug combination for recurrent brain tumor growth
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding recombinant human endostatin to temozolomide and irinotecan can slow or control recurrent gliomas (brain tumors) after prior standard treatment. It may help by targeting tumor blood vessel growth while also using chemotherapy to attack cancer cells.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT06640582RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TIL therapy with pembrolizumab for advanced brain cancer
This trial tests a new treatment for advanced brain cancers like glioma and meningioma. It combines your own immune cells (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes or TILs) with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) to help your body fight the tumor. It's for people who have tried other treatments without success or have no standard options left.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–90 - NCT07664579Recruiting

Lu177-DOTA-EB-RGD2 therapy for returning high-grade glioma
This trial tests a radioactive drug that targets a protein on tumor blood vessels to treat glioblastoma that has come back after standard treatment. It may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07636200Recruiting
Managing Fear and Worry in Advanced Cancer
This study tests a new approach to help people with advanced cancer who feel significant fear about their cancer getting worse or coming back. The program uses writing and therapeutic techniques to help reduce this fear and related stress.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glioblastoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 316 recruiting glioblastoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a glioblastoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a glioblastoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
