Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05057702Recruiting
Personalized surgery-focused treatment plan for relapsed brain cancer
This study tests a personalized treatment plan for children and young adults whose medulloblastoma or ependymoma has come back. It aims to guide doctors using new tissue from surgery or biopsy after earlier treatments are fully finished.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–39 - NCT07087002RecruitingPhase 1
GPC2-CAR T cells for children and young adults with relapsed medulloblastoma
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy called GPC2-CAR T cells for children and young adults whose medulloblastoma or related brain tumor has come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if these specially designed immune cells can find and attack the tumor.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT04696029RecruitingPhase 2
DFMO to prevent return of high-risk or relapsed medulloblastoma
This Phase 2 study tests DFMO (a maintenance medicine) to help stop medulloblastoma from coming back or worsening after prior treatment. It focuses on children and young people with specific high-risk tumor types or tumors that have returned or not responded well to treatment.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05382338RecruitingPhase 3
Sodium thiosulfate to protect hearing in medulloblastoma
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding sodium thiosulfate during treatment for newly diagnosed medulloblastoma can reduce the risk of hearing loss. It is designed for children and teens whose cancer meets specific low-risk or average-risk tumor and lab features.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 4–21 - NCT05535166RecruitingPhase 2
Risk- and lab-guided treatment for young children with medulloblastoma
This Phase 2 trial tests how doctors choose treatment for infants and young children with newly diagnosed medulloblastoma, based on MRI/CSF staging and lab testing of the tumor. It may help by matching therapy intensity to the child’s specific risk level and tumor type.

What taking part in a medulloblastoma 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.

Common questions
- Are there medulloblastoma clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting medulloblastoma studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a medulloblastoma study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a medulloblastoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
