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.

• A new type of scan to look for live brain tumor after radiation

  Recruiting Early phase 1 Alabama

  This study tests a scan that may show whether a high grade brain tumor is still active after radiation.

• Testing a new PET scan tracer for brain tumors

  Not yet recruiting Early phase 1 Alabama

  This study tests a new tracer that may help PET scans show brain tumors.

• Testing a daily pill called vorasidenib for IDH-mutant astrocytoma after first treatment

  Recruiting Phase 3

  This trial is testing whether a daily pill can hold off tumor growth longer than a placebo pill.

• Testing tears as a way to track glioblastoma

  Not yet recruiting Not applicable California

  This study checks if tears hold tiny particles that carry news about a brain tumor.

• Testing several study drugs for a brain tumor called glioblastoma

  Recruiting Phase 2 Alabama, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, and more

  This study is testing several drugs to see if they may help treat glioblastoma.

• Focused Radiation Before or After Surgery for Cancer That Spread to the Brain

  Recruiting Phase 3 Arizona, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota

  This trial tests whether focused radiation works better before or after brain surgery.

• Focused ultrasound to open the blood brain barrier, tested with standard immune therapy for lung cancer that spread to the brain

  Recruiting Phase 3 Arizona, California, Florida, Maryland, and more

  This study is testing whether focused ultrasound can safely open the blood brain barrier in people getting standard immune therapy for lung cancer that spread to the brain.

• Adding pembrolizumab to Optune and temozolomide for newly diagnosed glioblastoma

  Recruiting Phase 3 Aichi-ken, Alberta, Arizona, California, and more

  This study is testing whether adding a drug called pembrolizumab to standard Optune and chemotherapy helps people with a new glioblastoma diagnosis.

• Testing nivolumab, with or without relatlimab, for newly diagnosed glioblastoma

  Recruiting Phase 2 New York, North Carolina, Victoria

  This study is testing whether the immune drug nivolumab, given alone or with relatlimab, is safe and workable for people with a newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

• Adding orelabrutinib and teniposide to standard drugs for newly diagnosed brain lymphoma

  Recruiting Phase 2/Phase 3

  This study tests whether adding one or two extra drugs to standard treatment helps people newly diagnosed with a lymphoma in the brain.

• A custom-made vaccine with chemo and immune drugs for adults with glioblastoma

  Not yet recruiting Phase 1/Phase 2 Florida

  This trial tests a vaccine made for each patient, given with chemo and immune drugs.

• Bedside Cranial Ultrasound for Risk-Stratified Imaging in Pediatric Acute Brain Injury

  Not yet recruiting Virginia

• A drug called zanzalintinib for children and teens with solid tumors that came back

  Not yet recruiting Phase 1

  This study is testing how safe a drug called zanzalintinib is for young people with cancer.

• Evaluation and Treatment of Neurosurgical Disorders

  Recruiting Maryland

• Testing if the drug letrozole reaches brain tumors in people with a glioma that came back

  Recruiting Early phase 1 Ohio

  This study checks whether a drug called letrozole can get into a brain tumor.

• Testing a small tube that collects fluid during brain surgery

  Recruiting Not applicable Minnesota

  This study tests a way to collect samples from the brain during and after tumor surgery.

• Testing two drugs together for gliomas that came back in kids and young adults

  Recruiting Phase 1 Alabama, California, District of Columbia, Florida, and more

  This trial tests whether two drugs used together work better against a glioma that has come back.

• Testing a drug called BRiTE for grade 4 glioblastoma

  Recruiting Phase 1 North Carolina

  This study is testing a new drug for a brain tumor called glioblastoma.

• Testing an ultrasound device with chemotherapy for glioblastoma that has come back

  Recruiting Phase 3 Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, and more

  This trial tests whether opening the brain's natural shield with sound waves helps a chemo drug reach a glioblastoma that has come back.

• Testing extra brain scans to read changes after glioblastoma treatment

  Recruiting Phase 2 Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, and more

  This study tests if extra scans can tell tumor growth apart from treatment effects.
