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.

• Testing tirabrutinib against a two-drug combination for primary CNS lymphoma that came back

  Recruiting Phase 3 Arizona, California, Connecticut, Czechia, and more

  This trial compares one drug, tirabrutinib, with a two-drug treatment in people whose primary central nervous system lymphoma has come back or did not respond.

• A study tracking spine tumor surgery followed by radiation in adults

  Recruiting Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, and more

  This study follows adults who have spine tumor surgery and then radiation.

• Looking at blood markers and a gene to explain thinking problems after brain radiation

  Not yet recruiting California

  This study looks at why brain radiation can make thinking harder.

• Testing a cancer drug placed right into the tumor in people with DMG

  Not yet recruiting Phase 1/Phase 2

  Doctors are testing a cancer drug put straight into a brain tumor called DMG.

• A special MRI scan to aim radiation at low oxygen parts of a brain tumor

  Not yet recruiting Not applicable New York

  This study tests whether a special MRI scan can find low oxygen spots in a brain tumor so radiation can be aimed at them.

• A study of pituitary gland tumors in children

  Recruiting Maryland

  This study looks at children with pituitary gland tumors and tries to learn what causes them.

• Comparing Two Kinds of Brain Radiation for Memory and Thinking

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

  This trial compares two ways to treat lung cancer that has spread to the brain.

• Radiation given before surgery for high grade glioma

  Recruiting Phase 1 Arizona, Florida

  This study tests a strong, focused dose of radiation given before brain tumor surgery.

• Scans and blood tests to predict memory changes after brain radiation

  Recruiting Not applicable North Carolina

  This study checks if scans and blood tests can predict memory changes after radiation.

• A study of Medtronic brain and spine devices already in use

  Recruiting Not applicable Arizona, Arkansas, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, California, and more

  This study collects safety and performance information about Medtronic devices used in brain and spine surgery.

• FOG-001 in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

  Recruiting Phase 1/Phase 2 Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, and more

• A first test of the pill AO-252 in people with advanced solid tumors, including tumors that spread to the brain

  Recruiting Phase 1 Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and more

  This study is testing a new pill called AO-252 to see if it is safe and what dose is best.

• A study of a recovery care plan for people having pituitary tumor surgery with a scope

  Recruiting

  This study looks at a care plan meant to help people recover after pituitary tumor surgery.

• Changing radiation doses during treatment for adults with glioma

  Recruiting Phase 2 Maharatshtra

  This study tests whether scans taken during radiation can guide changes to the dose.

• Comparing two radiation schedules for cancer that has spread to the brain

  Recruiting Phase 3 Arizona, Arkansas, California, Co Dublin, and more

  This trial compares focused radiation given in 3 treatments to the same kind given in one treatment.

• Comparing two kinds of radiation for cancer that spread to the fluid around the brain and spine

  Recruiting Phase 3 Arizona, Arkansas, California, District of Columbia, and more

  Doctors are comparing two types of radiation for cancer in the fluid around the brain.

• Testing a wearable glucose sensor to help people with glioblastoma manage blood sugar

  Recruiting Not applicable Arizona, Florida, Minnesota

  This trial is testing whether a small sensor that tracks blood sugar can help people with a brain tumor called glioblastoma.

• Testing radiation treatment that is adjusted for each person

  Recruiting Phase 1 Texas

  This trial tests changing radiation treatment to fit how each person responds.

• Testing a drug called C5252 in people with a tumor inside the skull

  Recruiting Phase 1/Phase 2 Tianjin Municipality

  This trial is testing whether a drug called C5252 is safe for people with a brain tumor.

• Two drugs tested in adults and children with a BRAF V600 gene change

  Recruiting Phase 2/Phase 3

  This trial tests if two known cancer drugs help more cancers that share one gene change.
