Recruiting studies
- NCT06712810RecruitingPhase 1
Q702 for blood cancers and histiocytic disorders

Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06607549RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drug combo after focused radiation for CNS lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (loncastuximab tesirine and rituximab) given after focused radiation (SRS) for people with CNS lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment, or who cannot get standard high-dose methotrexate. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06175000RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance obinutuzumab for central nervous system lymphoma
This trial tests whether a maintenance drug called obinutuzumab can help prevent relapse in people with primary central nervous system lymphoma (a rare lymphoma in the brain or spine) who have already responded to initial chemotherapy. It is for those who have achieved at least a partial or complete response to their first treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05998642RecruitingPhase 2

Test brain-directed CAR T cells for CNS lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests a new type of immune therapy (CAR T cells) placed directly into the fluid around the brain to treat central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment can control the lymphoma when other CNS treatments have not worked.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05351593RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tafasitamab and lenalidomide for returning CNS lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, tafasitamab and lenalidomide, for people whose central nervous system lymphoma has come back. The goal is to see if this treatment can help shrink the cancer or slow its growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05131022RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NX-5948 for relapsed B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests NX-5948 in adults whose B-cell cancers have come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment works in different types of B-cell malignancies.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–21 - NCT04906096RecruitingPhase 2
Paxalisib for repeat or resistant brain lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests paxalisib to shrink or control primary CNS lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help by blocking specific cell-growth signals that can drive this lymphoma.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04792489RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T cell therapy for aggressive B-cell lymphomas
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell treatment (MB-CART2019.1) for people with certain types of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back or not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if this therapy can help when other options have failed.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04421560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab for PCNSL
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well a combination of pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab treats primary CNS lymphoma that came back or didn’t respond after prior brain treatment. It may help shrink the lymphoma and control it in the brain and fluid around the brain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04186520RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell treatment for hard-to-treat B-cell lymphomas
This trial studies a type of lab-made immune cell therapy (CAR T) using cells called CAR-20/19-T. It is for adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell cancers, aiming to reduce or eliminate lymphoma in people whose disease has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–80 - NCT03328078RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Emavusertib for recurrent brain lymphoma after prior treatment
This Phase 1/2 trial tests emavusertib (a targeted medicine) in adults with primary central nervous system lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It’s designed to find safe dosing and see how well the treatment can control the lymphoma in the brain/spinal fluid.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06132737RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation therapy for brain lymphoma
This trial tests a new targeted radiation therapy for lymphoma that has spread to the brain or spinal cord and has not responded to other treatments. The treatment uses a radioactive molecule (yttrium-90) attached to a substance that homes in on a specific marker (CXCR4) on the lymphoma cells, aiming to destroy them while limiting damage to healthy tissue.
Munich, BavariaAges 18–120 - NCT06649058RecruitingPhase 2
Study on combining drugs and radiation for brain metastases
This trial is for people with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). It tests a new approach where you start a systemic therapy (drugs that travel through your body) and later add focused radiation to the brain tumors, instead of treating them right away. The goal is to see if this sequence works well and avoids unnecessary side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04545762RecruitingPhase 1
Anti-CD19 CAR-T for certain relapsed lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests an anti-CD19 CAR-T cell treatment in adults with specific types of relapsed or treatment-resistant non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It may help by finding and attacking lymphoma cells that carry the CD19 marker, but it’s early-stage and eligibility is strict.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06703892RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of CAR T-cell therapy that targets two proteins (CD20 and CD19) on your cancer cells. It is for people with certain types of lymphoma that have not responded to or have come back after at least two prior treatments.
TaipeiAges 18–70 - NCT05077527RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T treatment for HIV and aggressive B-cell lymphoma
This trial studies a lab-made immune cell treatment (CAR-T) for adults who have HIV and aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to see if the treatment can control the lymphoma safely in this specific group.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06784726RecruitingPhase 2
Odronextamab before CAR-T for large B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a drug called odronextamab for people with large B-cell lymphoma whose cancer did not respond to or came back after initial treatment. The goal is to see if odronextamab can help shrink the tumor before getting CAR-T cell therapy.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06737250RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug combo for relapsed brain lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (poseltinib, rituximab, and lenalidomide) for people with primary central nervous system lymphoma that has come back or not responded to earlier treatment. The goal is to see if this new mix can help control the disease.

- Are there clinical trials for primary central nervous system (cns) lymphoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 68 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.
