LuPARPed: Targeted radiation plus olaparib for certain childhood cancers
This trial tests a combination of a radioactive drug (Lutathera) and a targeted pill (olaparib) for children and teens whose solid tumors have come back or not responded to treatment and show high levels of a specific receptor (SSTR) on scans. The goal is to see if this two-drug approach can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Boadilla del Monte, MadridAges 3 years+ - NCT06482905RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for recurrent grade 4 brain tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called TX103 CAR-T cells for people with a grade 4 glioma (like glioblastoma) that has come back or gotten worse after standard treatment. The therapy uses your own immune cells that are specially trained to attack a marker called B7-H3 found on tumor cells.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06428045RecruitingPhase 1
STARLITE for hard-to-surgery high-grade brain tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called STARLITE for people with fast-growing brain tumors (high-grade gliomas) that cannot be safely removed with surgery. The treatment uses a laser to destroy the tumor from the inside. It may be a good option if you haven't had any prior treatment for this tumor.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06397560Recruiting
Proton radiation for returning brain tumors
This trial tests a new type of proton radiation therapy given at a lower dose rate to treat brain tumors that have come back after previous radiation. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 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 - 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 - NCT06126744RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a virus therapy for recurrent brain cancer
This trial tests a virus-based treatment called MVR-C5252 for people whose high-grade glioma or glioblastoma has come back after standard therapy. The virus is injected directly into the tumor to try to kill cancer cells and boost the immune system. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can shrink the tumor.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05979064Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for recurrent high grade glioma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 74 recruiting recurrent high grade 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 high grade 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 high grade 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.
