High-dose chemo with stem cell transplant vs. standard therapy for older adults with CNS lymphoma
This study compares a high-dose chemotherapy followed by your own stem cell transplant to standard chemo-immunotherapy for older adults with newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for people over 70.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges 65 years+ - NCT07481669RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant for lymphoma at high risk of brain relapse
This trial tests a stem cell transplant with a special chemo combination (TEAM) to see if it can prevent lymphoma from coming back in the brain or spinal cord for people with high-risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06940791RecruitingPhase 2
Tirabrutinib vs placebo for CNS lymphoma in remission
This trial tests whether taking the drug tirabrutinib (a pill) can help keep primary CNS lymphoma from coming back after successful initial chemotherapy. It compares the drug to a placebo (a dummy pill).
TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT07350850RecruitingPhase 2
Methotrexate plus immunotherapy combo for untreated PCNSL
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (methotrexate, rituximab, sintilimab, and pirtobrutinib) against standard therapy for people with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) that has not been treated before.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 64 recruiting primary central nervous system (cns) lymphoma 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 primary central nervous system (cns) lymphoma 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 primary central nervous system (cns) lymphoma 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.
