Study of JBI-778 for lung, brain, and salivary gland tumors
This trial tests a new oral medication, JBI-778, in patients with certain types of lung cancer, brain tumors, or salivary gland cancer. The drug is designed to target specific genetic changes in these tumors, and the study aims to assess its safety and effectiveness.
Surat, GujaratAges 18 years+ - NCT07301268RecruitingPhase 2
GI-102 with or without pembrolizumab before brain surgery
This trial is testing a new drug called GI-102, given alone or with pembrolizumab, before surgery for a type of brain tumor called glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma. The goal is to see if these drugs can help shrink the tumor before it's removed.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06910306Recruiting
DaRT alpha radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a device called DaRT that delivers alpha radiation directly to a recurrent glioblastoma tumor. It may help patients who cannot have surgery and have a single, small tumor regrowth.

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.
