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 MRI Scans After Radiation to Catch Brain Spread Early
This trial is testing whether regular brain MRI scans after radiation can find cancer that has spread to the brain before it causes symptoms.
-
A study of how radiation changes brain networks in children with brain tumors
This study uses brain scans to look at how radiation treatment changes the way a child's brain works.
-
Testing an Ultrasound Device With a Study Drug for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This trial is testing whether a study drug plus a non-invasive ultrasound device can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma after their usual treatment.
-
A scan test to tell tumor growth from radiation damage in people with brain metastases
This trial is testing whether a special brain scan can tell growing tumor apart from damage left by radiation.
-
Proton radiation before surgery for high-grade brain gliomas
This study is testing whether it is safe to give proton radiation to a brain tumor before surgery.
-
Testing digital thinking and memory tests for people with CNS lymphoma or low-grade glioma
This study checks whether thinking and memory tests you take on your own can work as well as the standard tests given by a specialist.
-
Testing a new drug called NRG-103 in people whose high-grade glioma has come back or is growing
This trial is testing a new drug, NRG-103, in people whose high-grade glioma has returned or is getting worse.
-
Testing desmopressin during surgery for hard-to-treat tumors near the pituitary gland
This trial is testing whether a drug given during surgery can keep salt levels in the blood from climbing too high.
-
Testing safusidenib for Grade 2 glioma with an IDH1 gene change
This study is testing a drug called safusidenib in people with a Grade 2 brain tumor that has a change in the IDH1 gene.
-
Tiny radioactive beads for glioma that has come back
This study is testing whether tiny radioactive beads, placed in the blood vessels that feed a brain tumor, can treat it safely.
-
Testing an imaging agent to help doctors spot glioma in people with brain tumors
This study is testing whether a special scan can give doctors a clearer look at a brain tumor.
-
Testing new radiation doses with temozolomide chemotherapy for IDH wildtype glioma
This study tests a different way of giving radiation, along with a chemotherapy pill, for a type of brain tumor called IDH wildtype glioma.
-
Testing two drugs, tucatinib and T-DM1, for HER2-positive cancer that has spread to the brain
This trial is testing whether two drugs used together can help control cancer that has spread to the brain.
-
A study testing nivolumab with relatlimab for melanoma that has spread to the brain
This study is testing whether two immune drugs, given together, can help control melanoma that has spread to the brain.
-
Testing morning versus evening timing for temozolomide in glioblastoma
This trial is testing whether the time of day you take your temozolomide pill can be set, and what that is like for people with glioblastoma.
-
A long term follow up of people who already received AAVAnc80-antiVEGF gene therapy for a vestibular schwannoma
This study keeps track of how people do over time after they got a gene therapy called AAVAnc80-antiVEGF.
-
Testing selumetinib for adults and children with NF2-related schwannomatosis
This trial is testing a drug called selumetinib in people with NF2-related schwannomatosis.
-
Nimotuzumab added to standard treatment after glioblastoma surgery
This study is testing a drug called nimotuzumab alongside the usual treatment given after brain tumor surgery.
-
Testing two drugs together for NF2 tumors that are growing
This study is checking whether two drugs, given together, are safe for people whose NF2 tumors are growing.
-
Testing thinking and memory training for adults with lower grade glioma
This study is testing whether training used after stroke and head injury can help thinking and memory in people with a brain tumor.
