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 - NCT04267978RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug combination for recurrent brain tumor growth
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding recombinant human endostatin to temozolomide and irinotecan can slow or control recurrent gliomas (brain tumors) after prior standard treatment. It may help by targeting tumor blood vessel growth while also using chemotherapy to attack cancer cells.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT06930846Recruiting
Brain cancer cognitive training study
This study tests a home-based program called HOBSCOTCH-CA to help with memory and thinking problems after brain cancer treatment. The program uses phone and internet sessions to teach self-management skills.

Atovaquone with radiation for children with brain tumors
This trial tests adding atovaquone to standard radiation therapy for children with aggressive brain tumors like high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain cancer) or medulloblastoma. The goal is to see if this drug, which targets energy production in cancer cells, can make radiation work better.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 2–25 - NCT05096481RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine trial for children with certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a vaccine made to target CMV (a virus) in order to treat children with medulloblastoma or newly diagnosed high-grade glioma/DIPG. If you’re eligible, you’d receive the study vaccine and the team would closely watch how well it’s tolerated and how your cancer responds.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 3–39 - NCT07459101Recruiting
MR-guided radiation therapy for high-grade brain tumors
This study tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy for a type of aggressive brain tumor called glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma. Patients get MRI scans during each treatment so the radiation beam can be adjusted precisely, aiming to improve outcomes.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04732065RecruitingPhase 1
ONC206 for certain brain tumors in children and young adults
This Phase 1 study tests ONC206, a new targeted medicine, for diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) with a specific gene change (H3K27 altered) and for some other recurrent brain/spinal cord cancers. It is designed to find the right dose and see whether it can control or shrink tumors after initial treatment or when the cancer returns.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–21 - NCT07424092RecruitingPhase 2
Virus injection for children with recurrent brain tumors
This trial is testing a virus called DNX-2401, which is injected directly into the tumor, for children and young adults with high-grade brain tumors that have come back or are hard to treat. The goal is to see if this virus can shrink or control the tumor.
UtrechtAges 1–25 - NCT07464925RecruitingPhase 1
Testing GLIX1 for adults with returning high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new drug called GLIX1 to find a safe dose for people whose high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) has come back or is getting worse after earlier treatments. It may be an option if you've had no more than two prior treatments.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06011109RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
APG-157 plus Avastin for recurrent high-grade glioma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—APG-157 (an oral plant-based medicine) and bevacizumab (Avastin)—for people with recurrent high-grade brain tumors that have already been treated with standard therapies. The goal is to see if adding APG-157 can help control the tumor better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 19 years+ - NCT06305910RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine immunotherapy for recurrent brain tumors or newly diagnosed DIPG
This trial tests a combination of a vaccine made from tumor cells and a drug that may boost the immune system's ability to fight brain tumors. It is for children and young adults with a recurrent high-grade glioma or a newly diagnosed diffuse midline glioma with a specific genetic marker (H3K27M).
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 2–25 - NCT06632236RecruitingPhase 1
Amivantamab for advanced brain tumors
This trial tests a new drug called amivantamab for people with advanced brain tumors, including glioblastoma. It aims to see if the drug can shrink or slow tumor growth.
CambridgeAges 16 years+ - NCT04299191RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
LAM561 for children with advanced brain or solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests a medicine called LAM561 in children whose cancer is advanced and not responding to standard treatment. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can shrink or control tumors in this setting.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges Up to 18 years - NCT07488754Recruiting
Targeted radiation therapy for new glioma (grade 3-4)
This trial tests a new type of targeted radiation therapy for people with high-grade glioma (grade 3 or 4) that has not progressed after standard treatment. The therapy uses a radioactive substance attached to a protein that targets tumor cells, aiming to deliver radiation directly to the cancer.
Warsaw, PolandAges 18–80 - NCT06666712RecruitingPhase 1
Chronic brain infusion of topotecan for recurrent glioma
This trial tests a treatment called topotecan that is delivered directly into the brain through a small tube (convection-enhanced delivery). It is for people whose IDH-mutant glioma has come back despite standard treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the tumor.

Surgical flap to help treat glioblastoma by bypassing the blood-brain barrier
This trial tests a surgical technique that places a tissue flap near a glioblastoma surgery site to help medicines reach the brain more effectively. You might be considered if you are planning major brain tumor surgery and meet specific health, imaging, and lab requirements.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05979064Recruiting
Belly fat graft for recurrent brain tumor
This study tests if a piece of your own belly fat (omentum) placed in the brain during tumor surgery can help fight recurrent glioblastoma. It is for people who are already scheduled for surgery to remove their brain tumor.
