Recruiting studies
- 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06273176Recruiting
Surgery with or without brain mapping for recurrent glioblastoma
This study is testing whether using a special brain-mapping technique during surgery helps people with recurrent glioblastoma. It compares standard surgery to surgery with mapping to see if it leads to better outcomes for tumors near important brain areas.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Up to 90 years - NCT07469683RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced kidney cancer after first-line treatment
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (SLC-3010 and axitinib) versus axitinib alone for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has progressed after initial treatment. It aims to see if the combination is safer and more effective.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07339085Recruiting
Advanced MRI for brain tumor recurrence or radiation damage
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better tell the difference between a returning brain tumor and radiation injury. It may help guide your treatment decisions.

Planning ahead for teens and young adults with advanced cancer
This study tests an educational tool to help young adults with advanced solid tumors or high-grade brain tumors think about and discuss their future healthcare wishes early. It may help you feel more prepared and in control of your care.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–39 - NCT07023640Recruiting
Imaging test for tumors using a new tracer agent
This trial tests a new imaging method (68Ga-DOTA-mPNE PET/CT) to see if it can help detect cancers. It's for people who haven't had chemotherapy or radiation yet and will have a biopsy or surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06988475RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Capmatinib for cancers with MET gene changes
This study tests an oral drug called capmatinib for people whose cancers have specific changes in the MET gene (except for one type of lung cancer). It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
BelfastAges 18 years+ - NCT06914479RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy and valacyclovir for recurrent brain tumors in young people
This trial tests a new gene therapy that uses two special viruses and an oral antiviral drug (valacyclovir) to treat brain tumors that have come back in children and young adults. The therapy is given right after surgery to remove the tumor, with the goal of helping your immune system fight the cancer.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 3–39 - NCT06911008RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called MTI-301 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth, and to check its safety.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06788886Recruiting
Breathing practice for brain and mental health in cancer and other illnesses
This study tests a simple breathing practice to see if it can improve brain health and mental well-being for people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, or their caregivers. You will do light exercises and answer questionnaires, and some participants will also have an MRI brain scan.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT06667726RecruitingPhase 2
New PET scan for better brain tumor care
This trial studies a special PET scan called 18F-DOPA PET/CT to see if it can help doctors better manage brain tumors. It may be used before surgery, for radiation planning, or when MRI results are unclear.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06650163RecruitingPhase 1
New imaging test for brain tumor surgery planning
This trial tests a new kind of PET scan that uses a special tracer (Zr-89 crefmirlimab berdoxam) to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. If you are scheduled to have your brain tumor removed, this scan may give your surgeon extra information to guide the operation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06328686RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Arginine and whole brain radiation for brain metastases
This trial tests whether taking arginine (an amino acid) during whole brain radiation therapy can help people with brain metastases from any type of cancer. It looks at how the treatment affects the body and may improve outcomes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06320405RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—axatilimab, retifanlimab, and paclitaxel—for people with advanced solid tumors that have spread. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth, and it is for people who have already tried taxane chemotherapy.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06223542RecruitingPhase 1
TAK-243 for advanced cancers that haven't responded to other treatments
This trial tests a new drug called TAK-243 for people with advanced cancers (solid tumors or lymphomas) that have not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06132685RecruitingPhase 2
Dexamethasone dosing after brain tumor surgery
This trial tests how to best use dexamethasone (a steroid) after brain tumor surgery to help recovery and reduce swelling. It looks at different dosing schedules for patients with common brain tumors.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06126276RecruitingPhase 2
Testing neratinib with or without palbociclib for HER2+ solid tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs—neratinib alone or with palbociclib—for people with HER2-positive solid tumors (other than breast cancer) that have returned or not gone away. The goal is to see if blocking HER2 and CDK4/6 can shrink or slow the tumor.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06012695RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an oral drug for solid tumors or glioblastoma
This trial tests an oral drug called NBM-BMX for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments, or for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer). The study aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.

Entrectinib for ROS1 fusion cancers with matching gene test
This trial studies entrectinib, a targeted pill, in people whose cancer has a specific gene change called ROS1 fusion. It may help by shrinking tumors that depend on this ROS1 gene switch, and the study requires starting with a new tissue sample and treatment monitoring.
BelfastAges Any age - NCT05857969RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cancer drug response on removed tumor tissue
This early study uses tumor tissue (or bone marrow from blood cancers) and performs lab tests to see which cancer drugs may work better for each person. It also collects genetic information from blood or a saliva swab to help understand why cancers respond differently.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for malignant brain neoplasm?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 127 recruiting malignant brain neoplasm 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 malignant brain neoplasm 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 malignant brain neoplasm 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.
