Beijing, Chaoyang DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT06002711Recruiting
Predicting brain tumor genetics with MRI
This study uses MRI scans to predict key genetic markers and outcomes in people with high-grade gliomas (aggressive brain tumors). If you are between 18 and 70 years old and have been diagnosed or are suspected of having a high-grade glioma, this research may help better understand your tumor without extra procedures.
Shanghai, Select A State Or ProvinceAges 18–70 - NCT06666712RecruitingPhase 1
Chronic brain infusion of topotecan for recurrent glioma
This trial tests a treatment called topotecan that is delivered directly into the brain through a small tube (convection-enhanced delivery). It is for people whose IDH-mutant glioma has come back despite standard treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the tumor.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06636162RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing DSP-0390 before surgery for gliomas
This trial tests a drug called DSP-0390 in people with gliomas (a type of brain tumor). You take the drug for a short time before your scheduled surgery to see how it affects the tumor. It might help doctors find new ways to treat these tumors.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06630260RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Brain wave monitoring during brain tumor surgery
This study tests a new way to monitor brain activity during surgery to remove brain tumors. It may help doctors better protect important brain functions during the operation.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06575452Recruiting
Using RNA modifications to diagnose and treat gliomas
This trial studies whether changes in RNA (the instructions inside cells) can help doctors better diagnose and treat gliomas, a type of brain tumor. If you are scheduled for surgery to remove a suspected glioma and have not had prior treatment, you may be able to join.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT06519682Recruiting
Immunotherapy for young people with a specific brain tumor
This trial is testing a new immunotherapy (nivolumab) for children, teens, and young adults with a specific type of aggressive brain tumor (glioblastoma that has a DNA repair problem). It aims to see if giving this treatment early, right after surgery, can help the immune system fight the tumor.
Toronto, OntarioAges 1–25 - NCT06546631Recruiting
Blood side effects of a chemotherapy for brain tumors
This study looks at why some people getting the chemotherapy drug temozolomide (TMZ) for high-grade brain tumors have serious blood side effects. If you are getting TMZ now or have had severe blood problems from it, your participation could help doctors predict and manage these risks better.
CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06504381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
DB107 and radiation therapy for high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new two-part treatment (DB107-RRV and DB107-FC) combined with radiation, with or without the chemotherapy drug temozolomide, for people with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06492486RecruitingPhase 2
Brain tumor radiation study using AI planning
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for brain tumors (gliomas) using artificial intelligence. It aims to make treatment more precise and personalized for people with either aggressive (GBM) or slower-growing (IDH-mutant) gliomas.
Mumbai, MaharatshtraAges 18–70 - NCT06468176Recruiting
Remote program for memory and thinking after brain tumor
This study tests a remote program to help with memory and thinking problems caused by a grade 2 or 3 brain tumor. It is for people who have had surgery and are at least 6 months past any radiation or chemotherapy.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT06428045RecruitingPhase 1
STARLITE for hard-to-surgery high-grade brain tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called STARLITE for people with fast-growing brain tumors (high-grade gliomas) that cannot be safely removed with surgery. The treatment uses a laser to destroy the tumor from the inside. It may be a good option if you haven't had any prior treatment for this tumor.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04772456RecruitingPhase 1
MRI scan using a special sugar to study infiltrating brain tumors
This early study (Phase 1) tests a new kind of MRI that uses a special labeled sugar (pyruvate) to help learn how infiltrating gliomas behave in the brain. If you have a suspected or known infiltrating glioma and are having brain surgery or biopsy, this may help your doctors learn more about tumor metabolism and guide future care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06357377RecruitingPhase 1

Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05990244Recruiting
MRE scan to measure brain tumor stiffness before surgery
This study uses a special MRI called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to measure how stiff a brain tumor (glioma) is and how well it sticks to nearby brain tissue. The goal is to help doctors better prepare for surgery by knowing these details beforehand.

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.
