Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04804644RecruitingPhase 3
Memory-sparing radiation for brain metastases in small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether focusing high-dose radiation only on brain tumor spots, while avoiding the hippocampus (a brain area important for memory), helps protect memory and thinking compared with standard whole-brain radiation. It’s for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05176665RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EMB-01 for advanced stomach, bile, liver, and colon cancers
This early-phase trial studies EMB-01 in people with advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal cancers to see how well it works and how safe it is. To join, your tumor’s DNA or protein pattern (especially EGFR or cMET) must match specific lab results, and you must have tried standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04988009Recruiting
Telemedicine care experience survey for brain tumor patients
This trial asks brain tumor patients and caregivers to share what they think about the quality of care they receive through telemedicine. Your feedback may help improve how neuro-oncology visits are done by video in the future.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05092373RecruitingPhase 1
Tumor treating device plus targeted or immune drugs for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether a tumor treating fields device works better when added to standard cancer drugs. It may help people with advanced solid tumors in the chest or belly, especially when standard treatment didn’t work or can’t be tolerated.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.

What taking part in a metastatic malignant neoplasm in the brain 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.
