Imaging study for low-grade glioma in children and adults
This study is testing how to take faster, better brain images in people diagnosed with low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor). Better imaging may help doctors see the tumor more clearly while reducing time spent in the scanner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth+ - NCT05660369RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell treatment for EGFR-mutant glioblastoma
This Phase 1 trial tests a new immune treatment made from your own immune cells to attack glioblastoma (a brain tumor), especially tumors with a specific EGFR change called EGFRvIII. It mainly focuses on safety and early signs of effectiveness, and some participants will also need surgery/biopsy and an implanted port for the treatment.

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.
