Testing a new pill for EGFR-mutated glioblastoma
This trial tests a new pill called ERAS-801 for people with a type of brain tumor (glioblastoma) that has a specific change in the EGFR gene. The study is for patients whose tumor has come back after treatment, or for those 70 or older who are newly diagnosed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07670026RecruitingPhase 2
Stronger treatment after surgery for high-risk glioblastoma
This trial tests a more intense chemotherapy plan for people with glioblastoma who had only partial removal of their tumor or whose tumor grew back quickly. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07511725RecruitingPhase 2
Thiotepa spinal injection to prevent glioblastoma spread
This trial tests whether injecting a chemotherapy drug called thiotepa into the fluid around the brain and spine can prevent glioblastoma from spreading in patients whose tumor touches the fluid-filled spaces or who had a leak during surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06805305RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests a new personalized immunotherapy (DOC1021) for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The treatment uses your own immune cells to attack the tumor and is given after surgery and with standard chemotherapy and radiation.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06146725Recruiting
Resection vs. biopsy in high-grade glioma patients
This study compares whether having surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible (resection) or just taking a small sample (biopsy) leads to better outcomes for people with a fast-growing brain tumor (high-grade glioma). The goal is to help guide treatment decisions.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06271421Recruiting
Nanoparticle heat therapy for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment for recurrent glioblastoma using tiny magnetic particles (nanoparticles) that are heated to kill cancer cells. The particles are injected into the tumor, and then a magnetic field device heats them up. It's for people who have already tried standard therapy and whose tumor has come back.
PoznanAges 18 years+ - NCT06283927Recruiting
Surgery vs. medical care for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial compares surgery to the best non-surgical treatment for people whose glioblastoma has come back. The goal is to see which approach helps people live longer with a better quality of life.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06455605RecruitingPhase 1
Combination therapy after surgery for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (D2C7-IT and 2141-V11) given directly into the brain after surgery for people with recurrent glioblastoma. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and can help control the tumor.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04977375RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Anti–PD-1 treatment plus focused radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a cancer-immunotherapy medicine (an anti–PD-1 antibody, similar to pembrolizumab) combined with precisely targeted radiation to treat glioblastoma that has come back or progressed. It may help your immune system recognize and attack the tumor while the radiation targets the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06273176Recruiting
Surgery with or without brain mapping for recurrent glioblastoma
This study is testing whether using a special brain-mapping technique during surgery helps people with recurrent glioblastoma. It compares standard surgery to surgery with mapping to see if it leads to better outcomes for tumors near important brain areas.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Up to 90 years - NCT06936046RecruitingPhase 2
Enhanced treatment for newly diagnosed GBM with partial resection or early progression
This trial tests a stronger combination of treatments given after surgery for people with glioblastoma (GBM) that was only partially removed or that starts growing again quickly. It aims to see if this approach can help control the tumor better. You may be eligible if you are newly diagnosed, over 18, have good organ function, and do not have other serious health issues.
HangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06146738Recruiting
Palliative care vs. surgery for high-grade glioma patients
This study compares receiving palliative care (supportive treatments) versus surgery (removing the tumor) for people with a high-grade glioma, a fast-growing brain tumor. The goal is to find out which approach improves quality of life and survival.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT07567196Recruiting
PET imaging to guide surgery for aggressive brain tumors
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (a type of imaging that shows tumor activity) during brain tumor surgery helps doctors remove more of the tumor safely. You would have a high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain cancer) and be scheduled for surgery.
Torino, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT06118723Recruiting
Supramaximal vs maximal surgery for brain tumors
This trial compares removing as much tumor as safely possible (supramaximal resection) with standard maximal resection in people with high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain tumor). The goal is to see if more extensive removal improves survival and quality of life.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06623565Recruiting
Advanced imaging for extensive brain tumor removal
This trial uses advanced imaging to help surgeons remove as much of a malignant brain tumor as safely possible. It may be a good fit if you have a new diagnosis of glioblastoma or a certain astrocytoma and are healthy enough for surgery.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07021339RecruitingPhase 3
Temporal lobectomy for glioblastoma trial
This trial tests if removing part of the temporal lobe (anterior temporal lobectomy) improves outcomes for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma that is only in the temporal lobe. It aims to see if this surgery can safely remove the entire tumor.
