Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT05976490Recruiting
Support program for people newly diagnosed with brain cancer
This study tests a “NeuroPathways” support intervention for adults who are within 6 weeks of being diagnosed with a malignant (cancerous) brain tumor. It may help patients cope and navigate care during the early, stressful period after diagnosis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06000787Recruiting
MCT imaging for brain tumors and neuroblastoma
This study is for children or young adults already in specific brain tumor or neuroblastoma trials. It looks at how a type of imaging (MCT) might help doctors better understand and treat these cancers.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06099743Recruiting
ASCENT Support Program for Brain Tumor Patients
This trial tests a support program called ASCENT for people recently diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. It aims to help patients and their families adjust and manage challenges soon after diagnosis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT06917885RecruitingPhase 1
CUE-102 for Recurrent Glioblastoma: A Safety Study
This study tests an experimental drug, CUE-102, for people with recurrent glioblastoma. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how well it works. You may be eligible if your tumor has come back once, you have a specific genetic marker (HLA-A*0201), and you are not on other treatments.

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.

Common questions
- Are there glioma clinical trials in Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 30 recruiting glioma studies with a site in Massachusetts, 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 glioma study in Massachusetts?
- 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 Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, 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 glioma 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.
Not the right time?
New glioma studies open in Massachusetts regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
