Recruiting studies
- NCT02358187RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine for children and teens with low-grade brain tumors
This trial tests a peptide vaccine plus a medication called poly-ICLC for people with certain low-grade gliomas that cannot be fully removed. The goal is to help the immune system recognize and attack the tumor.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 1–21 - NCT04485559RecruitingPhase 1
Trametinib and everolimus for recurrent gliomas
This trial tests two drugs, trametinib and everolimus, for children and young adults with recurrent or progressive gliomas (a type of brain tumor). The goal is to see if this drug combination is safe and effective in treating these tumors.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–25 - NCT04166409RecruitingPhase 3
Selumetinib versus chemo for low-grade brain tumor in children
This trial studies whether the targeted drug selumetinib works better than standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and vincristine) for children and young adults with a specific type of low-grade glioma (grade 1 or 2). It may help shrink tumors and slow growth while comparing side effects between the two treatment approaches.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2–21 - NCT06610851Recruiting
Monitoring low-grade brain tumors with a blood test
This study is looking at whether a simple blood test that checks for tiny molecules (called miRNAs) can help monitor people with slow-growing brain tumors. If you had surgery for a grade 2 or 3 glioma at Caen University Hospital and are still being followed there, this study might be for you.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT07439172RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before radiation for newly diagnosed brain tumors
This trial tests giving a chemotherapy drug called temozolomide before radiation therapy to people with a newly diagnosed high-grade brain tumor. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the tumor better.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18–80 - NCT06504381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
DB107 and radiation therapy for high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new two-part treatment (DB107-RRV and DB107-FC) combined with radiation, with or without the chemotherapy drug temozolomide, for people with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05609994RecruitingPhase 1
Vorasidenib plus a peptide vaccine for recurrent low-grade glioma
This Phase 1 study tests vorasidenib combined with a personalized tumor-targeting peptide vaccine in adults with a specific type of recurrent brain tumor. It aims to see how safe the combination is and whether it can help slow the tumor’s growth.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05632562RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/MRI scan study for newly diagnosed brain cancer changes
This early-phase study uses special PET/MRI scans to look at how a newly diagnosed high-grade glioma is changing under standard treatment. The goal is to see whether these scans can better assess the disease, which may help guide future care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 10–89 - NCT05009992RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for diffuse midline gliomas in children and young adults
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination of medicines (including ONC201/related study drugs) can better treat diffuse midline gliomas, a type of brain/spinal cord tumor that often affects the midline. You may qualify if your tumor diagnosis is confirmed and your treatment timing (before radiation, after radiation, or at recurrence) matches one of the study groups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2–39 - 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+ - NCT06381570RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vinblastine and tovorafenib for recurring pediatric low-grade glioma
This trial is testing a combination of two drugs, vinblastine and tovorafenib, for children and young adults (up to age 25) whose low-grade glioma has come back or worsened after prior treatment. It is for people whose tumor has a specific change in a gene called BRAF or CRAF.
Toronto, OntarioAges birth–25 years - NCT07061626RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for recurrent ependymoma and high-grade glioma
This trial tests a radioactive drug (Rhenium-186) injected directly into the brain tumor to see the highest safe dose for children and young adults with ependymoma or high-grade glioma that has come back or is not responding to standard treatments. It may help shrink the tumor without needing surgery right away.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 6–21 - NCT06519682Recruiting
Immunotherapy for young people with a specific brain tumor
This trial is testing a new immunotherapy (nivolumab) for children, teens, and young adults with a specific type of aggressive brain tumor (glioblastoma that has a DNA repair problem). It aims to see if giving this treatment early, right after surgery, can help the immune system fight the tumor.
Toronto, OntarioAges 1–25 - NCT03948490Recruiting
Cognitive rehab and follow-up for lower grade brain tumors
This study offers cognitive rehabilitation and long-term monitoring for adults with lower grade gliomas. It aims to help improve thinking and memory problems you may be experiencing.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07468136RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Retifanlimab with or without DFMO for progressive high-grade gliomas
This study tests a combination of two drugs—retifanlimab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and DFMO (a medicine that may stop tumor growth)—in people with high-grade brain tumors that are growing. Participants will receive these treatments before and after their planned surgery.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04479696Recruiting
Video coaching to ease anxiety during brain tumor radiation

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05996653Recruiting
CEST in low-grade glioma brain tumor study
This study uses a special MRI scan called CEST to look at low-grade brain tumors. It may help doctors learn more about these tumors without needing as many invasive tests. You may join if you have a low-grade glioma and haven't needed treatment yet.
Toronto, OntarioAges 12 years+ - NCT07655869RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Lu177-DOTA-EB-RGD2 therapy for returning high-grade glioma
This trial tests a radioactive drug that targets a protein on tumor blood vessels to treat glioblastoma that has come back after standard treatment. It may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06763965Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
BioTTT001 for recurrent high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new drug called BioTTT001 for people whose high-grade brain tumor has come back after standard treatment. The drug is given through a small device placed in the head to deliver it directly to the tumor area.
