Recruiting studies in Illinois
- 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 1–25 - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 6 months–25 years - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 2–21 - NCT06712875RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brain cancer drug combo for kids with BRAF mutations
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (dabrafenib and trametinib) and immunotherapy (nivolumab) for children and young adults with certain BRAF gene changes in their glioma. It aims to see if this drug combination can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.

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.
