Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07017816RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene therapy, checkpoint inhibitor, and radiation for children with brain cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment for children and young adults with brain tumors that have come back or not responded to standard therapy. The treatment includes a gene therapy (SGT-53) that delivers a normal TP53 gene, a checkpoint inhibitor drug that helps the immune system attack the cancer, and focused radiation. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and can shrink tumors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3–21 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–21 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04573140RecruitingPhase 1
RNA vaccine study for newly diagnosed adult and pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies an “RNA-lipid particle” vaccine given after surgery for certain newly diagnosed brain cancers (glioblastoma in adults, high-grade glioma in children/teens). The goal is to see whether the vaccine is safe and can train the immune system to fight the tumor.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4 years+ - NCT06161974RecruitingPhase 2
Olutasidenib and temozolomide for IDH1-mutant high-grade glioma
This trial tests a combination of two oral medications, olutasidenib and temozolomide, for people with a specific type of aggressive brain tumor (high-grade glioma) that has an IDH1 mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the tumor after standard treatment like radiation.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 12–39 - NCT04655404RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Larotrectinib for children with newly diagnosed glioma with NTRK fusion
This trial tests larotrectinib, a targeted cancer medicine, in children and teens with newly diagnosed high-grade brain glioma that has an NTRK fusion. It may help shrink or control tumors by targeting a specific genetic change in the cancer.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04732065RecruitingPhase 1
ONC206 for certain brain tumors in children and young adults
This Phase 1 study tests ONC206, a new targeted medicine, for diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) with a specific gene change (H3K27 altered) and for some other recurrent brain/spinal cord cancers. It is designed to find the right dose and see whether it can control or shrink tumors after initial treatment or when the cancer returns.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 2–21 - NCT06712875RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brain cancer drug combo for kids with BRAF mutations
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (dabrafenib and trametinib) and immunotherapy (nivolumab) for children and young adults with certain BRAF gene changes in their glioma. It aims to see if this drug combination can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–26 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–39

What taking part in a glioma 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.
