BC008-1A injection for recurrent grade 4 glioma
This trial tests a new injection called BC008-1A for people with a grade 4 glioma (a type of brain cancer) that has come back after standard treatment. The goal is to see if the drug can help control the tumor and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 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. The therapy is given right after surgery to remove the tumor, with the goal of helping your immune system fight the cancer.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 3–39 - NCT06964737RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for recurrent brain tumors
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR T-cells that target a protein called GARP on your tumor cells. It is for people whose high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) has come back after previous treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for recurrent malignant glioma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 57 recruiting recurrent malignant 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 malignant 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 malignant 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.
