HIGH GRADE GLIOMA

This early-phase study tests a new treatment for children and young adults with aggressive brain tumors called high-grade glioma and DIPG. The therapy uses the patient's own immune cells, modified in a lab to better recognize and attack tumor cells. The main goals are to see if t…

This study is for adolescents and young adults (ages 12-39) newly diagnosed with aggressive brain tumors called high-grade glioma or DIPG. The goal is to see if a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (relatlimab and nivolumab, sold as Opdualag) is safe and tolerable when given …

This phase 2 trial tests a single dose of FG001, a fluorescent dye, in 76 adults with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma. The dye is given before surgery and glows under a special light, helping surgeons tell tumor from healthy tissue during removal. The study checks how well the …

This phase 2 trial tests the drug mirdametinib, alone or with radiation, in people with NF1-related high-grade gliomas (aggressive brain tumors). It includes three groups: those with recurrent sporadic glioblastoma, newly diagnosed NF1-associated glioblastoma, and other NF1-relat…

This study tests a drug called tovorafenib in children and young adults (ages 1 to 39) newly diagnosed with aggressive brain tumors (high-grade glioma or DIPG) that have specific genetic changes. The goal is to see if the drug can help them live longer. About 79 participants will…

This early-stage trial is testing a new treatment called CHT101 for adults with aggressive brain tumors that have returned or worsened despite standard care. CHT101 is a type of immune cell therapy (CAR T-cells) designed to recognize and attack tumor cells carrying a protein call…

This early-stage trial tests a new treatment for recurrent high-grade glioma, an aggressive brain cancer. The approach uses a specially designed virus injected directly into the tumor to kill cancer cells and boost the immune system, combined with a PD-1 inhibitor drug that helps…

This early-stage trial tests whether using a special MRI-guided radiation machine (MR-Linac) can safely deliver higher, more targeted radiation doses to aggressive brain tumors (high-grade glioma). Twenty newly diagnosed patients will receive radiation twice a week for three week…

This study tests a drug called ADI-PEG 20, which breaks down an amino acid that some brain tumors need to grow. It is given alongside standard radiation and chemotherapy to children, adolescents, and young adults with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma. The goal is to see if this …

This early-phase trial tests a nasal spray called NEO100 (a purified natural compound) in 12 children with certain aggressive brain tumors. The goal is to see if it's safe, find the best dose, and check if the drug reaches the tumor. Participants will receive increasing doses, an…

This study tests whether drawing blood directly from veins inside the brain can safely diagnose high-grade glioma, a type of brain cancer. Researchers will compare this liquid biopsy to traditional surgical biopsy. Only 20 adults with suspected or confirmed brain cancer will part…

This study tests whether special MRI scans can spot where brain tumors have spread into nearby healthy tissue, which standard scans miss. About 20 adults with suspected high-grade glioma will get extra scans before surgery. The results will be compared to tissue samples to see if…

This study tests a special camera attached to a surgical microscope to see if it can better detect glioma tumor cells during brain surgery. Researchers will observe 80 adults with suspected high-grade gliomas. The goal is to improve how surgeons see tumor tissue, not to test a ne…
