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+ - NCT07210632RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nivolumab dye imaging in high grade glioma surgery
This trial tests if a special dye attached to the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can help surgeons see tumor cells during surgery for high grade glioma. You may join if you are scheduled for surgery and your organs are working well.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05538130RecruitingPhase 1
Study medicine for BRAF-mutated advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies how PF-07799544 works and what dose is safest in people with advanced cancer that has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600. You may receive it alone or with another treatment, depending on the tumor group, to see if it can treat the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 16 years+ - NCT07346144RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high grade glioma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 120 recruiting high grade 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 high grade 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 high grade 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.
