Irinotecan liposomes plus bevacizumab for recurrent glioma
This trial tests a combination of two medications—irinotecan liposomes (a chemotherapy drug wrapped in fat particles) and bevacizumab (a drug that cuts off blood supply to tumors)—for people whose glioma (a type of brain tumor) has come back or worsened after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the tumor.
Lishui, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06660056RecruitingPhase 1
GC001 injection for returning or growing high-grade brain tumors
This trial tests a new drug, GC001, injected directly into the tumor in people with high-grade gliomas (WHO grade 3 or 4) that have come back or are growing. It may be an option if standard treatments have stopped working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06055517Recruiting
Re-irradiation with low-dose pulses for recurrent glioma
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy for people whose brain tumor (glioma) has come back after earlier treatment. Instead of standard radiation, it uses very low doses given in pulses, which may be safer for patients who have already had radiation to the head.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT06344130RecruitingPhase 1
Shorter radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new, shorter course of radiation therapy (called hypofractionation) for people with glioblastoma that has come back. It is for patients who have already had radiation and are doing well enough to consider another round.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT01906385RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Recurrent brain tumor study testing rhenium nano-liposome
This early-phase study tests a drug made of tiny fat-like particles carrying rhenium for recurrent (coming back) high-grade glioma. It mainly checks safety and the highest tolerable dose, and it also looks for signs the treatment may slow tumor growth.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04547777RecruitingPhase 1
Early Phase brain tumor treatment with implanted device and injections
This Phase 1 study tests a new brain-tumor treatment in people with recurrent (coming back) high-grade glioma (brain cancer). The study uses injected medicine along with an implanted tumor device and aims to find whether the treatment is safe and can shrink or control tumors.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06763965Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
BioTTT001 for recurrent high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new drug called BioTTT001 for people whose high-grade brain tumor has come back after standard treatment. The drug is given through a small device placed in the head to deliver it directly to the tumor area.
Beijing, Chaoyang DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT07544992RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T Cells for Recurrent High-Grade Brain Tumors
This trial tests genetically engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) injected directly into the brain to treat recurring or worsening high-grade gliomas. The cells are designed to recognize and attack tumor cells that have specific markers (EGFR and IL13Rα2).
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04373720Recruiting
MRI scan to tell scar from tumor in treated brain glioma
This study uses an advanced MRI scan to help doctors tell the difference between radiation scar (radiation necrosis) and returning glioma (recurrent glioma) after prior treatment. It may help guide the next steps for care if you have a new or changing brain lesion.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04181684Recruiting
Laser surgery plus targeted radiation for recurrent brain gliomas
This trial studies whether a special laser procedure (LITT) followed by focused, reduced-dose radiation can control glioma tumors that have come back. It may help people with recurrent brain tumors avoid or delay more extensive treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 22 years+ - NCT06914479RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy and valacyclovir for recurrent brain tumors in young people
This trial tests a new gene therapy that uses two special viruses and an oral antiviral drug (valacyclovir) to treat brain tumors that have come back in children and young adults.
