Testing brain responses during awake brain surgery
This trial measures how the brain reacts to small electrical stimulation during an awake surgery for a specific type of brain tumor. It may help surgeons better plan and improve care for people having their first surgery for this tumor type.
MontpellierAges 30–50 - NCT06264388RecruitingPhase 2
Gene therapy plus oral drug for recurrent brain tumors
This trial tests a two-part treatment: an injected virus (DB107-RRV) plus an oral medication (DB107-FC) for people whose high-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) has come back. The virus is designed to deliver a gene that makes the tumor sensitive to the oral drug, which then helps kill the cancer cells.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT06161519RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PLX038 for brain tumors with MYC or MYCN changes
This study tests a new drug called PLX038 for people with brain or spinal cord tumors that have certain genetic changes (MYC or MYCN) or have come back after treatment. The drug is given as an infusion and targets tumor cells. The study aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for different types of these tumors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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+ - NCT06099743Recruiting
Support program for people with brain tumors
This study tests a support program that helps people with brain tumors cope with their diagnosis and treatment. The program uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on accepting difficult emotions and committing to actions that improve well-being.
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 - 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

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 - NCT04945148RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin plus radiation and chemo for glioblastoma subtype
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding metformin to standard radiation and temozolomide (chemo) can improve outcomes for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma of a specific metabolic subtype. It aims to see if this combination is safer and more effective than standard treatment alone.
Suresnes, Hauts de SeineAges 18 years+ - NCT05916313RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for brain tumors that have stopped responding to treatment
This trial tests how well different doses of a new drug, BI 764532, are tolerated by people with a specific type of brain tumor (glioma) that has not responded to standard treatments. The drug targets a protein on the tumor cells, which may help slow tumor growth.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT05588141RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zotiraciclib for recurrent brain tumors with IDH mutations
This early-phase study tests zotiraciclib in people with recurring diffuse gliomas (brain tumors) that have an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation. It may help slow the tumor or shrink it by targeting a specific change in tumor biology.
