Recruiting studies
- NCT03861299Recruiting
Awake brain surgery versus sleep surgery for glioblastoma
This study compares two ways of doing brain surgery for glioblastoma: doing parts of the operation while you are awake, versus doing it fully under general anesthesia (sleep). It aims to see which approach is safer and better for protecting brain functions like speech and movement while removing the tumor.
GhentAges 18–90 - NCT06146725Recruiting
Resection vs. biopsy in high-grade glioma patients
This study compares whether having surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible (resection) or just taking a small sample (biopsy) leads to better outcomes for people with a fast-growing brain tumor (high-grade glioma). The goal is to help guide treatment decisions.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06146738Recruiting
Palliative care vs. surgery for high-grade glioma patients
This study compares receiving palliative care (supportive treatments) versus surgery (removing the tumor) for people with a high-grade glioma, a fast-growing brain tumor. The goal is to find out which approach improves quality of life and survival.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - 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 - NCT06271421Recruiting
Nanoparticle heat therapy for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment for recurrent glioblastoma using tiny magnetic particles (nanoparticles) that are heated to kill cancer cells. The particles are injected into the tumor, and then a magnetic field device heats them up. It's for people who have already tried standard therapy and whose tumor has come back.
PoznanAges 18 years+ - NCT06283927Recruiting
Surgery vs. medical care for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial compares surgery to the best non-surgical treatment for people whose glioblastoma has come back. The goal is to see which approach helps people live longer with a better quality of life.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 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 - NCT07179328RecruitingPhase 1
Focused ultrasound for glioblastoma during standard chemo
This trial tests whether focused ultrasound can safely open the blood-brain barrier to help your chemotherapy work better. It is for people with glioblastoma who have already completed standard surgery and chemo-radiation and are now on maintenance chemo.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT06810544RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of TNG456 for tumors with MTAP loss
This trial tests a new drug called TNG456, alone or with another drug (abemaciclib), for people whose tumors have lost the MTAP gene. It aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06630260RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Avutometinib and Defactinib for brain tumors
This trial tests two oral drugs, avutometinib and defactinib, in people with aggressive brain tumors like glioblastoma. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
CambridgeAges 16 years+ - NCT06496971RecruitingPhase 3
Testing focused ultrasound plus Avastin for recurrent glioblastoma
This study tests whether adding focused ultrasound to the standard drug Avastin (bevacizumab) can help treat recurrent glioblastoma. The ultrasound may help more of the drug reach the tumor.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT06333899RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Lorlatinib for newly diagnosed brain tumors with ROS or ALK fusion
This trial tests if lorlatinib, a targeted pill, can shrink or slow the growth of high-grade brain tumors that have a specific ROS or ALK genetic change. It is for children and young adults who have not yet had treatment for their tumor.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1–21 - NCT05979064Recruiting
Belly fat graft for recurrent brain tumor
This study tests if a piece of your own belly fat (omentum) placed in the brain during tumor surgery can help fight recurrent glioblastoma. It is for people who are already scheduled for surgery to remove their brain tumor.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05954858Recruiting
Surgical flap to help treat glioblastoma by bypassing the blood-brain barrier
This trial tests a surgical technique that places a tissue flap near a glioblastoma surgery site to help medicines reach the brain more effectively. You might be considered if you are planning major brain tumor surgery and meet specific health, imaging, and lab requirements.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05839379Recruiting
Targeted therapy study for children and young adults with brain tumors
This trial studies a targeted medicine approach for high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) and some diffuse midline tumors, including DIPG. It may help by matching treatment to tumor biology using tumor testing done before or around starting standard therapy.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1–39 - NCT05843253RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus everolimus or temozolomide for certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests ribociclib with either everolimus or temozolomide, depending on the specific brain tumor type. It may help slow tumor growth in children and young adults whose tumor has specific genetic changes and who have had recent standard radiation therapy.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1–39 - NCT05686798RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy plus radiation for recurring brain tumor
This early-phase study tests a “suicide gene” therapy delivered by a virus along with radiation for adults whose high-grade brain tumor has come back or grown again. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help control the tumor.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05423210RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Atezolizumab with pre-surgery brain radiation for glioblastoma
This early-phase study tests atezolizumab (an immune therapy) together with radiation before brain surgery for glioblastoma. It aims to make the treatment safer and more effective before the tumor is removed.
