Recruiting studies
- NCT05979064Recruiting

New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05345002RecruitingPhase 2
ATRA plus PD-1 therapy for IDH-mutant recurrent brain tumors
This trial studies whether adding all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to an anti–PD-1 immune therapy can slow recurrent or worsening IDH-mutant glioma. It may help by boosting the immune system’s attack on the tumor.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05532397Recruiting
Tested lab-chosen drug combo for recurrent brain tumor
This study uses a patient’s tumor tissue to test drug combinations in the lab, aiming to help choose a better second-line treatment for recurrent high-grade astrocytic glioma. If your tumor tissue can be tested, the results may guide a more personalized medication plan.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT07017816RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene therapy, checkpoint inhibitor, and radiation for children with brain cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment for children and young adults with brain tumors that have come back or not responded to standard therapy. The treatment includes a gene therapy (SGT-53) that delivers a normal TP53 gene, a checkpoint inhibitor drug that helps the immune system attack the cancer, and focused radiation. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and can shrink tumors.

Zotiraciclib for recurrent brain tumors with IDH mutations
This early-phase study tests zotiraciclib in people with recurring diffuse gliomas (brain tumors) that have an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation. It may help slow the tumor or shrink it by targeting a specific change in tumor biology.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 15 years+ - NCT05607407RecruitingPhase 2
Methimazole for progressive glioblastoma after planned surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether methimazole, a medicine that affects the thyroid system, can help control progressive glioblastoma (a fast-growing brain tumor) after surgery. It looks at safety and how well the treatment works when given after your surgical plan.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06838676RecruitingPhase 2
ACT001 for DIPG and H3K27-altered high-grade gliomas
This trial tests a drug called ACT001 for people with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or certain high-grade gliomas that have a specific genetic change (H3K27-altered). It includes two groups: one for newly diagnosed DIPG after radiation, and another for progressive or recurrent disease.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1–39 - 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+ - NCT07306299RecruitingPhase 1
MRNA vaccine for recurrent high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new mRNA vaccine for people with a type of brain tumor called high-grade glioma that has come back or progressed. The vaccine is designed to help your immune system recognize and attack the tumor cells.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 16 years+ - NCT03643549RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination treatment for recurring brain cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, bortezomib and temozolomide, for people whose brain tumor (glioblastoma) has returned after initial treatment. It's designed for tumors that don't respond well to standard treatments, and the goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for recurrent glioma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 83 recruiting recurrent glioma 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 recurrent glioma 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 recurrent glioma 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.
