Recruiting studies
- NCT07731555Recruiting
Studying the brain barrier in glioblastoma
This study looks at how the brain's protective barrier works in people with glioblastoma. Researchers will study tumor tissue and use special scans to learn more, which might help improve future treatments.
BeaumontAges 18 years+ - NCT07717827Recruiting
Brain tumor surgery guided by brain wiring maps
This trial uses advanced brain scans to create a detailed map of your brain's wiring before surgery. This helps surgeons remove more tumor safely while protecting important areas that control movement, language, and vision.
Palermo, PAAges 18 years+ - NCT07648823RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New radioactive treatment for recurrent brain tumors
This early-stage trial tests a new radioactive drug called [177Lu]Lu-XT771 injected directly into the brain cavity after glioblastoma surgery. It measures whether the drug is safe and helps slow tumor regrowth in patients whose cancer has come back after earlier treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06160206RecruitingPhase 2
Study of retifanlimab, bevacizumab, and radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (retifanlimab), a targeted drug (bevacizumab), and low-dose radiation for people whose glioblastoma has come back. The goal is to see if this treatment can help shrink or slow the tumor.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07628634RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a Low-Methionine Diet in Solid Tumor Patients
This early-stage study explores whether eating a diet low in methionine (a natural amino acid found in protein) might help people with advanced solid tumors. Researchers will track how this dietary change affects blood levels and may improve treatment outcomes alongside standard cancer care.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04233788Recruiting
Brain mass imaging study using MRI to learn what causes it
This study uses MRI scanning to better describe a suspected brain mass and understand what it might be. You may be asked to lie in the scanner for about one hour, if you meet the study’s safety and eligibility rules.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05768919RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Liposomal curcumin with radiation and temozolomide for new brain cancer
This early-phase study tests whether liposomal curcumin, added to standard radiation plus temozolomide, can improve treatment outcomes in newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas. It focuses on safety and how well the treatment can be given with the usual therapy plan.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05254197Recruiting
Brain tumor monitoring study with follow-up brain scans
This study follows people with lower-grade (WHO grade 2 or less) brain tumors using repeat MRI scans over time. It helps doctors understand how these tumors change and which patients may safely delay treatment at first.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT07584499RecruitingPhase 1
New drug test for children with EGFR-positive solid tumors
This study tests a new cancer drug called Becotatug Vedotin in children ages 2–18 with certain types of solid tumors (cancers that form in organs or tissues) that have an EGFR protein. The drug is designed to find tumors with this protein and attack cancer cells while sparing healthy ones.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 2–18 - NCT06116903Recruiting
Detecting tumor signals in blood for glioblastoma
This study looks for genetic markers from tumor cells in your blood to see if they can help track glioblastoma progression. If you have glioblastoma and standard treatment has stopped working, this test might give your doctor more information about your cancer.
LimogesAges 18 years+ - NCT06740097Recruiting
Testing tissue monitoring during brain tumor surgery
This study looks at a new way to check brain tumor tissue during surgery. If you are having surgery for an aggressive brain tumor, the doctors want to see if this monitoring technique is practical and helpful.
Kuopio, Northern SavoniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07544992RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T Cells for Recurrent High-Grade Brain Tumors
This trial tests genetically engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) injected directly into the brain to treat recurring or worsening high-grade gliomas. The cells are designed to recognize and attack tumor cells that have specific markers (EGFR and IL13Rα2).
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07539441RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mirdametinib for brain and nervous system tumors
This trial tests a drug called mirdametinib for people with specific types of brain tumors or neurohistiocytosis (a rare condition affecting the nervous system). The drug targets mutations that cause these conditions to grow.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07542158Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Ultra-Low Radiation PET Imaging Study for Brain Scanning
This study tests a new way to take brain imaging scans (PET scans) using a very small amount of radioactive tracer. Researchers want to see if they can get clear pictures of your brain while reducing your radiation exposure compared to standard scans.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18–120 - NCT07486713RecruitingPhase 4
Olutasidenib drug interaction study for IDH1 mutation cancers
This trial tests how olutasidenib interacts with other drugs in people with cancers that have an IDH1 mutation, like certain leukemias or brain tumors. Participation may help determine the best way to take this treatment safely.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06703255RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing HX301 for advanced high-grade glioma
This trial tests an experimental drug called HX301 for people with high-grade gliomas (fast-growing brain tumors). It is for patients whose tumor has come back after temozolomide chemo, or for those with newly diagnosed glioblastoma that has been surgically removed. The study aims to see if HX301 can help control the tumor.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05968053Recruiting
Testing microplastics detection in neurosurgery patients
This study checks whether microplastics and nanoplastics can be detected in people undergoing neurosurgery. If it works, it could help doctors better understand possible material exposures around brain and nerve procedures.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07459101Recruiting
MR-guided radiation therapy for high-grade brain tumors
This study tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy for a type of aggressive brain tumor called glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma. Patients get MRI scans during each treatment so the radiation beam can be adjusted precisely, aiming to improve outcomes.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07450872Recruiting
Gut health and symptoms in childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at how cancer survivors' symptoms (like pain, fatigue, or mood) are connected to the bacteria living in their gut. It aims to understand why some children have different symptom patterns after treatment, which could help doctors provide better care.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 8–18 - NCT07440290RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Dabrafenib and trametinib for BRAF V600 cancers
This trial tests two targeted drugs (dabrafenib and trametinib) for patients whose cancer has a specific change in the BRAF gene called V600. These drugs work together to block signals that help the cancer grow. The trial is for children, teenagers, and adults with many types of cancer, except for a few common ones that already have approved treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glioma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 333 recruiting glioma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a glioma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a glioma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
