Recruiting studies
- NCT04732065RecruitingPhase 1
ONC206 for certain brain tumors in children and young adults
This Phase 1 study tests ONC206, a new targeted medicine, for diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) with a specific gene change (H3K27 altered) and for some other recurrent brain/spinal cord cancers. It is designed to find the right dose and see whether it can control or shrink tumors after initial treatment or when the cancer returns.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–21 - NCT07541781RecruitingPhase 1
Sitagliptin for recurrent grade 4 glioma
This trial tests whether the diabetes drug sitagliptin (Januvia) can help slow or shrink a recurrent grade 4 glioma (a type of brain tumor). It's for people whose tumor has come back after standard treatment and who have not used sitagliptin or Avastin before.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT05476939RecruitingPhase 3
BIOMEDE 2.0 trial for DIPG and similar brainstem gliomas
This phase 3 study tests targeted treatments (ONC201 or everolimus) for children with DIPG or similar diffuse midline brain tumors, based on the tumor’s genetic markers. It aims to improve outcomes by matching treatment to the tumor biology and comparing approaches in a randomized way.
AarhusAges 6 months+ - NCT07703761Recruiting
AI analysis of brain tumor MRI scans
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze MRI scans from people diagnosed with a type of brain tumor called glioma. It aims to better understand the cancer from diagnosis through treatment, which could help guide future care.
TrentoAges 18–60 - NCT04923126RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mirdametinib for children with low-grade brain tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests mirdametinib, a targeted medicine, in children and young adults with low-grade glioma (a slower-growing brain tumor). It aims to find the best dose and see how well the treatment works, especially for tumors with certain “MAPK pathway” changes.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 2–24 - NCT04485559RecruitingPhase 1
Trametinib and everolimus for recurrent gliomas
This trial tests two drugs, trametinib and everolimus, for children and young adults with recurrent or progressive gliomas (a type of brain tumor). The goal is to see if this drug combination is safe and effective in treating these tumors.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–25 - NCT04196413RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell treatment for a specific brainstem glioma mutation
This Phase 1 study tests a custom immune therapy called GD2 CAR T cells in children and adults with a specific type of diffuse midline glioma (DMG) that has the H3K27M mutation. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help control the cancer.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 2–60 - NCT07680439RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T cell therapy study for children with DIPG brain tumor
This trial tests a new CAR T cell therapy (BCB-276) for children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called DIPG. The therapy uses your own immune cells that are specially trained to attack the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–26 - NCT01106794Recruiting
Test of tumor sample analysis for brainstem glioma
This trial analyzes tumor tissue or samples to learn more about brainstem gliomas, including a common type called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. The results may help doctors better understand these tumors and guide future treatments.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 21 years - NCT07796061RecruitingPhase 1
Ultrasound plus immune cells for brain tumors
This trial tests a new way to treat a type of brain tumor called diffuse midline glioma. It uses focused ultrasound to open a tiny gap in the blood-brain barrier, which may help special immune cells (T-cells) reach and attack the tumor. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helpful.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3–25 - NCT07506239Recruiting
Laser therapy for low-grade brain tumors in young people
This trial tests a laser treatment called LITT for low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) that has come back or is growing despite prior treatment. It aims to see if the laser is safe and effective in young people aged 2 to 25.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–25 - NCT07480941RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK cell therapy for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment using engineered immune cells (CAR-NK cells) that target two markers found on glioblastoma tumors. The treatment is given directly into the brain to fight tumors that have come back after standard therapy.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03728673RecruitingPhase 2
Escitalopram for people with newly diagnosed grade 4 brain tumors
This trial studies whether escitalopram (an antidepressant medication) can help people with grade 4 glioma around the time they start standard cancer treatment. You may be screened especially for depression/anxiety status and medication history, because the study uses a specific mental-health medicine.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT03684109Recruiting
MRI scans to study brain tumors using molecular imaging
This study uses special MRI scans to better “characterize” (study) gliomas, a type of brain tumor, using information from your brain tissue. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a suspected or confirmed glioma and you already need a biopsy or surgery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07306299RecruitingPhase 1
MRNA vaccine for recurrent high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new mRNA vaccine for people with a type of brain tumor called high-grade glioma that has come back or progressed. The vaccine is designed to help your immune system recognize and attack the tumor cells.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 16 years+ - NCT07286929Recruiting
Study on vision and space problems in people with parietal lobe glioma
This study looks at how vision and spatial awareness problems change over time in people with a glioma in the parietal lobe (a part of the brain). It may help doctors better understand and support these patients.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07179328RecruitingPhase 1
Focused ultrasound for glioblastoma during standard chemo
This trial tests whether focused ultrasound can safely open the blood-brain barrier to help your chemotherapy work better. It is for people with glioblastoma who have already completed standard surgery and chemo-radiation and are now on maintenance chemo.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glioma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 331 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.
