Find a clinical trial
A clinical trial is a research study that people can join. Some test a new treatment. Some test a new way to use a treatment we already have. Joining one is always your choice.
How to think about a clinical trial covers what taking part involves, when to ask, and what the phases mean.
Talk to your care team before you contact a trial. They know your history and can tell you whether a trial is worth your time. Nothing on this page is medical advice, and we are not part of any trial.

-
Testing immune cells made from a child's own brain tumor
Doctors are testing immune cells built to match a child's own brain tumor.
-
Arginine with whole brain radiation for cancer that has spread to the brain
This study is testing how to safely give arginine along with whole brain radiation.
-
Testing two drugs together for triple negative breast cancer that spread to the brain
This study tests a pair of drugs in people whose breast cancer has reached the brain.
-
Adding the drug triapine to radiation for glioblastoma or astrocytoma that has come back
This study tests giving a drug called triapine along with radiation for a brain tumor that has come back.
-
Testing a targeted radiation drug placed in the brain for glioma that came back
Doctors are testing a drug that carries radiation straight to brain tumor cells.
-
A drug with or without radiation for HER2-positive breast cancer that spread to the brain
This trial tests a cancer drug with and without radiation.
-
Testing silevertinib added to temozolomide for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial is testing whether adding a drug called silevertinib to temozolomide works better than temozolomide alone.
-
G207 with radiation for children with high-grade glioma
This study is testing a treatment called G207, given with radiation, in children whose high-grade glioma has come back or is growing.
-
A test of safusidenib for IDH1-mutant glioma that grew during vorasidenib treatment
This trial is testing a drug called safusidenib in people whose glioma grew while they were taking vorasidenib.
-
Using fast tests on tumor tissue to pick treatment for rare brain tumors that came back
This study tests a fast way to match treatment to a person's own tumor.
-
Radiosurgery Before Surgery for Brain Tumors That Spread From Another Cancer
This trial tests giving focused radiation first, then surgery, to keep brain tumors from coming back.
-
Testing two breast cancer drugs together for cancer that has spread to the brain
This study is testing whether two drugs, elacestrant and abemaciclib, can help people whose breast cancer has spread to the brain.
-
Testing selinexor added to usual chemotherapy for glioblastoma that has come back
This study is testing whether adding a drug called selinexor to the usual chemotherapy helps people whose brain tumor has returned.
-
Testing a virus called M032 in children and adults with newly diagnosed diffuse midline glioma
This trial is testing whether a lab made virus, put right into the tumor, is safe for people with this brain tumor after they finish radiation.
-
A CAR T cell therapy for children and young adults with medulloblastoma that came back
This study tests a new cell therapy for a brain tumor that came back or did not go away.
-
Chemotherapy before radiation for newly diagnosed high-grade glioma
This trial tests giving chemotherapy before radiation in newly diagnosed high-grade glioma.
-
Testing 5-ALA with ultrasound for glioblastoma in both sides of the brain
This trial is testing how safe a drug plus ultrasound is for a brain tumor on both sides.
-
A Test of Y90 Glass Beads for Brain Cancer That Came Back
This study tests tiny glass beads that carry radiation right into a brain tumor.
-
IMPT Versus IMRT for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma
From the trial team: This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter, phase III randomized controlled trial comparing intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in participants aged 3-18 years with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).
-
Two immune drugs, with or without targeted brain radiation, for melanoma that spread to the brain
This trial asks if adding targeted brain radiation to two immune drugs works better than the drugs alone.
