Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–39 - NCT05278208RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lutathera for high-grade brain tumors that returned or got worse
This trial tests if Lutathera, a radioactive drug that targets certain tumors, can help children and young adults with high-grade brain tumors or meningiomas that have come back or are growing. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and works.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 4–39 - 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.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Danville, PennsylvaniaAges 4–21 - NCT05096481RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine trial for children with certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a vaccine made to target CMV (a virus) in order to treat children with medulloblastoma or newly diagnosed high-grade glioma/DIPG. If you’re eligible, you’d receive the study vaccine and the team would closely watch how well it’s tolerated and how your cancer responds.

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.
