Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT04775485RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted medicine for children with certain brain or solid tumors
This Phase 2 study tests tovorafenib, a targeted cancer medicine, in children and young adults whose tumors have specific BRAF or RAF changes. It is for cancers that have come back or grown despite previous treatment, with measurable signs on scans.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 6 months–25 years - NCT06118723Recruiting
Supramaximal vs maximal surgery for brain tumors
This trial compares removing as much tumor as safely possible (supramaximal resection) with standard maximal resection in people with high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain tumor). The goal is to see if more extensive removal improves survival and quality of life.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT06146738Recruiting
Palliative care vs. surgery for high-grade glioma patients
This study compares receiving palliative care (supportive treatments) versus surgery (removing the tumor) for people with a high-grade glioma, a fast-growing brain tumor. The goal is to find out which approach improves quality of life and survival.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT06146725Recruiting
Resection vs. biopsy in high-grade glioma patients
This study compares whether having surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible (resection) or just taking a small sample (biopsy) leads to better outcomes for people with a fast-growing brain tumor (high-grade glioma). The goal is to help guide treatment decisions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–25 - NCT03761121Recruiting
Imaging study for low-grade glioma in children and adults
This study is testing how to take faster, better brain images in people diagnosed with low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor). Better imaging may help doctors see the tumor more clearly while reducing time spent in the scanner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth+ - NCT04166409RecruitingPhase 3
Selumetinib versus chemo for low-grade brain tumor in children
This trial studies whether the targeted drug selumetinib works better than standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and vincristine) for children and young adults with a specific type of low-grade glioma (grade 1 or 2). It may help shrink tumors and slow growth while comparing side effects between the two treatment approaches.

What taking part in a low-grade glioma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
