Recruiting studies
- NCT05672043Recruiting
Study genetic risks in children with malignant brain tumors
This study looks at genetic (DNA/molecular) features of malignant brain tumors in children. It may help doctors better understand tumor risk patterns and guide future treatment planning.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges birth–18 years - NCT05683808RecruitingPhase 2
Apixaban to prevent blood clots in outpatient brain tumor patients
This trial tests whether apixaban, a blood thinner, can prevent dangerous blood clots in people with a certain type of malignant brain tumor who are getting radiation and chemotherapy. It may help lower the risk of clots like leg clots or lung clots.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT05727605Recruiting

This trial studies how radiotherapy affects memory and thinking in adults with certain brain or skull-base tumors. It may help doctors understand who is most likely to have thinking changes and how to monitor or support patients.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT05768178RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Vemurafenib plus cobimetinib for BRAF-mutant cancers
This trial tests whether combining two targeted cancer medicines—vemurafenib and cobimetinib—can treat adults whose tumors have a specific “BRAF V600” mutation. You may be screened with blood tests and a tissue biopsy before starting treatment.
BelfastAges 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+ - NCT05770544RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Entrectinib for ROS1 fusion cancers with matching gene test
This trial studies entrectinib, a targeted pill, in people whose cancer has a specific gene change called ROS1 fusion. It may help by shrinking tumors that depend on this ROS1 gene switch, and the study requires starting with a new tissue sample and treatment monitoring.
BelfastAges Any age - NCT05857969RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cancer drug response on removed tumor tissue
This early study uses tumor tissue (or bone marrow from blood cancers) and performs lab tests to see which cancer drugs may work better for each person. It also collects genetic information from blood or a saliva swab to help understand why cancers respond differently.
Miami, FloridaAges 1 day–21 years - NCT05859659Recruiting
Hope HOPE study for glioma using pathology and MRI
This study looks at glioma (a type of brain tumor) and uses brain tissue testing, MRI scans, and related measurements to better understand the disease. You may benefit by being closely assessed with MRI and study follow-up, though it’s not necessarily testing a new medicine based on the listed criteria.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT05917145RecruitingPhase 1
Drug WSD0628 plus radiation for recurrent brain tumor
This Phase 1 trial tests a new cancer drug (WSD0628) given with radiation for people whose high-grade glioma has returned after prior treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment works in this situation.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05929495RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin added to standard treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding metformin to the usual treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) can improve outcomes. It involves taking metformin after surgery along with standard care (the Stupp protocol).
MilanAges 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 - 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT06101069Recruiting
New MRI scan to tell tumor from radiation damage
This study tests a special MRI technique to better distinguish between tumor regrowth and radiation-related changes in people with brain tumors. If you've had radiation for a brain tumor and now have suspicious changes, this scan might help guide your next steps.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–60 - NCT06102837Recruiting
Tumor vaccine study for brain surgery patients
This study tests whether a tumor vaccine made from your own surgery tissue can help treat solid tumors, specifically gliomas (brain tumors). It is open to patients having brain surgery at Huashan Hospital, including those with non-tumor conditions like stroke or injury, as long as enough tissue is available.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - 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+ - NCT06126744RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a virus therapy for recurrent brain cancer
This trial tests a virus-based treatment called MVR-C5252 for people whose high-grade glioma or glioblastoma has come back after standard therapy. The virus is injected directly into the tumor to try to kill cancer cells and boost the immune system. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can shrink the tumor.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06138340Recruiting
How anesthesia affects brain networks in people with glioma
This study looks at how different anesthetics change brain connections during surgery for a type of brain tumor called glioma. It may help doctors choose the best anesthesia for your surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glioma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 339 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.
