We’re tracking 30 recruiting glioma studies with a site in Pennsylvania — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06465199RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Eflornithine and AMXT 1501 for Advanced Childhood Cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (eflornithine and AMXT 1501) for children and young adults with certain types of cancer that have relapsed or not responded to standard treatment, or for a specific brain tumor (DIPG) at diagnosis. The goal is to see if this drug pair is safe and effective.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 26 years - NCT05086497Recruiting
Personal TTFields device guided by imaging for brain tumor
This trial tests whether using a personalized TTFields device—placed based on imaging—can help treat adults with glioblastoma (GBM) after surgery and radiation. It’s designed for specific GBM genetic types and may help deliver therapy more precisely.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 22 years+ - NCT06326411RecruitingPhase 1
Testing NST-628 pills for advanced solid tumors with RAS/MAPK changes
This trial tests an experimental pill called NST-628 for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific genetic changes in the RAS/MAPK pathway. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective when other treatments are no longer working.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04837547RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized cell therapy for childhood cancer
This trial tests a new, personalized cell therapy for children with high-risk neuroblastoma or DIPG (a type of brain tumor) that has come back or is hard to treat. It uses the patient's own tumor to create a treatment that might work better for them.

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 Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 30 recruiting glioma studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
