Recruiting studies
- NCT06815432RecruitingPhase 1
GPC-3 CAR T cells for recurrent GPC-3 positive glioblastoma
This trial tests whether a special type of immune cell (called CAR T cells) can fight a brain tumor called glioblastoma that has come back. The cells are made to target a protein on the tumor cells, and the study will see if this treatment is safe and helpful.
Houston, TexasAges 21–70 - NCT03383978RecruitingPhase 1
Test brain injections plus IV antibody for HER2-positive glioblastoma
This early-phase study tests a combination of cells injected directly into the brain and an IV antibody to treat recurrent HER2-positive glioblastoma (or a related tumor, gliosarcoma). It may help by attacking the tumor locally in the brain while the antibody boosts the immune system’s response.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06616727Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell treatment (SNC-109) for people with glioblastoma that has come back after initial treatment. The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified in a lab, to try to attack the tumor.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06455605RecruitingPhase 1
Combination therapy after surgery for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (D2C7-IT and 2141-V11) given directly into the brain after surgery for people with recurrent glioblastoma. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and can help control the tumor.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06264388RecruitingPhase 2
Gene therapy plus oral drug for recurrent brain tumors
This trial tests a two-part treatment: an injected virus (DB107-RRV) plus an oral medication (DB107-FC) for people whose high-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) has come back. The virus is designed to deliver a gene that makes the tumor sensitive to the oral drug, which then helps kill the cancer cells.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT05474378RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for recurrent glioblastoma
This early-phase study tests a type of immune-cell treatment (CAR T cells) aimed at a target called B7-H3 in people with glioblastoma or related grade 4 brain tumors that have come back. It’s meant to see if the treatment can shrink the tumor or control the disease and to learn how safe it is.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07831369RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for recurrent glioma
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—valproic acid, irinotecan, and simvastatin—to see if they can help people whose brain tumor (glioma) has come back despite earlier treatment. The goal is to slow or stop tumor growth.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18–98 - NCT06177964RecruitingPhase 2
Lerapolturev infusion for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new drug called lerapolturev (also known as PVSRIPO) for people whose glioblastoma has come back. The drug is delivered directly into the tumor during a small procedure. Researchers want to see if it can help control the tumor.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03596086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug plus radiation and chemo for recurrent brain cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether combining an HSV-tk “gene switch” treatment, valacyclovir tablets, focused radiation (SBRT), and chemotherapy can help people with recurrent glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth after standard treatments have already been tried.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05139056RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell virus therapy for recurrent brain tumors
This trial tests a new treatment that uses specially modified stem cells (taken from donors) to deliver a virus directly into the tumor during surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for brain tumors that have come back after standard therapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05765812RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Debio 0123 with temozolomide for recurrent or new glioblastoma
This early-phase study tests Debio 0123 (an anticancer medicine) combined with temozolomide, and for newly diagnosed patients also with radiation. It aims to see whether this treatment combination can slow or control glioblastoma in adults.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06883747RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of BMS-986504 for recurrent brain tumor
This trial tests an experimental drug, BMS-986504, for people with recurrent glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer). The drug targets a specific genetic change in the tumor. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink or slow the tumor.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04765098RecruitingPhase 2
Tamoxifen or Etoposide for recurring brain tumor after prior treatment
This trial tests whether tamoxifen works as well as etoposide in people whose glioblastoma has come back after standard chemotherapy and radiation with temozolomide. It aims to find a better medication option for controlling the tumor after the first return.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–65 - NCT05590689RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Light-activated treatment for recurring brain tumor
This study tests a light-activated therapy (radiodynamic therapy) using a special medicine to help treat a brain tumor that has come back after prior treatment. It may be offered after doctors decide you need further radiation for your recurrence.
MünsterAges 18–75 - NCT06896110Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Spinal chemo and immunotherapy for recurrent high-grade glioma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—azacitidine and nivolumab—given directly into the spinal fluid for people whose high-grade glioma has come back after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can safely target the tumor and slow its growth.
Iowa City, IowaAges 13 years+ - NCT05917145RecruitingPhase 1
Drug WSD0628 plus radiation for recurrent brain tumor
This Phase 1 trial tests a new cancer drug (WSD0628) given with radiation for people whose high-grade glioma has returned after prior treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment works in this situation.
