BusanAges 19–80 - NCT04609046RecruitingPhase 1
Lenalidomide and nivolumab added to standard treatment for brain lymphoma
This Phase 1 trial tests adding two cancer medicines—lenalidomide and nivolumab—to the usual treatment for primary CNS diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (a type of lymphoma in the brain/spinal fluid). The goal is to see if the combination is safe and if it works better than the usual approach.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04627753RecruitingPhase 2
Lenalidomide plus rituximab to prevent brain lymphoma return
This trial studies whether lenalidomide and rituximab can help keep primary CNS lymphoma from coming back after initial chemotherapy. It may be an option if you cannot do a transplant and you can take pills.

High-dose chemo and stem cell transplant for brain lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of high-dose chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine, busulfan, and thiotepa) followed by a stem cell transplant for people with primary central nervous system lymphoma. It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes for patients whose disease has responded to initial therapy.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 16–70 - NCT06946407Recruiting
Chemotherapy combination for brain lymphoma

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+ - NCT05998642RecruitingPhase 2
Ibrutinib combo for newly diagnosed brain lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of ibrutinib, methotrexate, and rituximab for people with newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma who cannot have a stem cell transplant. It aims to see if this drug combination can effectively treat the disease.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06475235RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab with chemo for new CNS lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with standard chemotherapy for people newly diagnosed with primary CNS lymphoma. The goal is to see if adding pembrolizumab can improve outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06755619Recruiting
ctDNA testing for response in first-line PCNSL treatment
This study tests whether a blood test (ctDNA) can help doctors see how well treatment is working for people with a type of brain lymphoma (PCNSL) who are getting their first treatment with a cure in mind.
HelsinkiAges 18–70 - NCT07062627RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T cell therapy for CNS lymphoma
This trial tests a new treatment called Anbalcabtagene Autoleucel (a type of CAR-T cell therapy) for people whose B-cell lymphoma has come back or not responded to treatment, specifically when it affects the brain or spinal cord. The goal is to see if this therapy can help control the disease.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07604987RecruitingPhase 2
New Treatment for Brain Lymphoma (R-PMDT)
This trial tests a combination drug treatment called R-PMDT for patients newly diagnosed with a type of lymphoma that starts in the brain (PCNSL). The goal is to see if this regimen can help control the cancer and improve outcomes.

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. It aims to see if the combo works better and has manageable side effects.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for primary cns lymphoma (pcnsl)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 35 recruiting primary cns lymphoma (pcnsl) 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 cns lymphoma (pcnsl) 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 cns lymphoma (pcnsl) 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.
