Recruiting studies
- NCT04215224Recruiting
AI prediction of outcomes for glioma after tumor surgery
This trial uses AI to look at tumor tissue images to predict survival in people with glioma. If you qualify, your surgery tissue and imaging help train tools that may better estimate outcomes and guide care.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 1–90 - NCT04373720Recruiting
MRI scan to tell scar from tumor in treated brain glioma
This study uses an advanced MRI scan to help doctors tell the difference between radiation scar (radiation necrosis) and returning glioma (recurrent glioma) after prior treatment. It may help guide the next steps for care if you have a new or changing brain lesion.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04573140RecruitingPhase 1
RNA vaccine study for newly diagnosed adult and pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies an “RNA-lipid particle” vaccine given after surgery for certain newly diagnosed brain cancers (glioblastoma in adults, high-grade glioma in children/teens). The goal is to see whether the vaccine is safe and can train the immune system to fight the tumor.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4 years+ - NCT04623931RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and radiation for IDH-wildtype glioma
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of chemotherapy and radiation after surgery for certain brain tumors that are “IDH wildtype.” It aims to control the tumor and improve outcomes for people with specific types of glioma or glioblastoma.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04655404RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Larotrectinib for children with newly diagnosed glioma with NTRK fusion
This trial tests larotrectinib, a targeted cancer medicine, in children and teens with newly diagnosed high-grade brain glioma that has an NTRK fusion. It may help shrink or control tumors by targeting a specific genetic change in the cancer.
Aurora, ColoradoAges Up to 21 years - NCT04865315Recruiting
Donate tumor samples to build organoid tissue from glioma
This study collects tumor tissue during brain surgery to create lab-grown “organoids” (mini models of the tumor). It aims to build a tissue bank that researchers can use to better study gliomas and develop treatments.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–21 - NCT05278715RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment plan for optic pathway glioma in children
This Phase 2 trial tests a modified chemotherapy treatment plan for children and young people with optic pathway glioma, aiming to shrink tumor and improve eye/brain symptoms. You may be able to join if your diagnosis is confirmed and your body can safely handle treatment.
BeijingAges 3 months–21 years - NCT05298995RecruitingPhase 1
GD2 CAR T-cell treatment for pediatric brain tumors
This trial tests a special immune-cell therapy (GD2 CAR T cells) made for pediatric brain tumor patients. It uses a planned treatment plan and monitoring to see if the therapy is safe and can work against the tumor.

Test drugs through the tumor to study brain tumor metabolism
This early-phase study tests two drugs (DFMO and AMXT 1501) given directly into the tumor to see how they affect tumor biology and metabolism. Researchers may learn whether this approach could be safer and helpful for people with diffuse or high-grade glioma.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05956821RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for young people with recurring brain glioma
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a study treatment for children and young adults under 22 whose brain glioma has come back or isn’t responding to prior treatment. It’s designed to see whether the treatment is safe and effective for shrinking tumors in this situation.
Miami, FloridaAges 1–21 - NCT05979064Recruiting
Belly fat graft for recurrent brain tumor
This study tests if a piece of your own belly fat (omentum) placed in the brain during tumor surgery can help fight recurrent glioblastoma. It is for people who are already scheduled for surgery to remove their brain tumor.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06016452RecruitingPhase 2
Chlorophyllin for brain radiation damage in glioma patients
This trial tests if chlorophyllin can help manage brain damage caused by radiation therapy in people with diffuse glioma. It may reduce symptoms or prevent them from getting worse.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–70 - NCT06381726Recruiting
Personalized brain mapping to protect movement during glioma surgery
This study tests a personalized approach to map and protect the brain's movement pathways during surgery for slow-growing brain tumors. The goal is to remove as much tumor as possible while keeping your quality of life and movement abilities intact.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT06397560Recruiting
Proton radiation for returning brain tumors
This trial tests a new type of proton radiation therapy given at a lower dose rate to treat brain tumors that have come back after previous radiation. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06410248RecruitingPhase 1
Triapine and temozolomide for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, triapine and temozolomide, for people whose glioblastoma has come back after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the tumor.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06454097Recruiting
Radiogenomics study for glioma treatment sensitivity
This study looks at MRI scans and genetic information to understand which gliomas respond best to radiation and chemotherapy. It may help doctors predict treatment success based on your scans.

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.
