Butterfly glioblastoma: test adding 5-ALA PoMA with LIDU ultrasound to standard care
This early-phase study tests whether adding 5-ALA–mediated activation with LIDU ultrasound is safe and tolerable for adults with newly diagnosed butterfly glioblastoma, before or during standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
-
LMP744 (an indenoisoquinolone) for people with recurrent glioblastoma
This trial will test whether the drug LMP744 can shrink tumors or slow progression in adults whose glioblastoma has returned after prior treatment.
-
How Acetadote might affect metabolism in newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This early-phase trial tests whether Acetadote can change brain tumor metabolism in adults with a new glioblastoma diagnosis.
-
Surgery and Laser Therapy for Bilateral Glioblastoma
This study tests surgery and laser-induced thermal therapy to treat bilateral glioblastoma in people whose tumors cross both brain hemispheres.
-
Silevertinib plus temozolomide for newly diagnosed GBM with unmethylated MGMT and EGFRvIII
This trial tests whether adding silevertinib to standard temozolomide helps people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma that have EGFRvIII and an unmethylated MGMT promoter live longer without the cancer getting worse.
-
Standard temozolomide plus 5‑ALA and low‑intensity ultrasound after surgery for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests whether adding the light‑activated drug 5‑ALA together with a low‑intensity ultrasound device to standard temozolomide can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma after surgery and chemoradiation.
-
Focused ultrasound to open the blood-brain barrier in adults with high-grade glioma on chemotherapy
This trial tests whether focused ultrasound using the Next Generation Dome Helmet can safely open the blood-brain barrier in adults with glioblastoma who are receiving maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy.
-
Using sonodynamic therapy for recurrent glioblastoma
This study is testing a new treatment that uses sound waves and a special drug to see if it can safely help people with recurrent glioblastoma by destroying tumor cells while protecting healthy brain tissue.
-
QH104 (allogeneic B7-H3 CAR γδT) for malignant brain glioma
This study will test if injections of allogeneic B7‑H3 CAR γδT cells (QH104) can help adults with B7‑H3–positive recurrent or progressive high‑grade glioma, including GBM.
-
Using omental tissue to treat recurrent glioblastoma
This study is testing whether using a piece of fat from the abdomen can help improve treatment for patients with recurrent glioblastoma by delivering medication and immune cells more effectively to the tumor site.
-
Surgical technique to improve outcomes in glioblastoma patients
This study is testing a new surgical method using special tissue flaps to see if it can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer and have fewer problems after surgery.
-
Combining eflornithine and temozolomide for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This study is testing a new combination of two medications, eflornithine and temozolomide, to find the best dose for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
-
Gene therapy combined with radiotherapy for brain tumors
This study is testing a new gene therapy combined with targeted radiation to see if it can safely help people with recurrent high-grade brain tumors.
-
Infusion of Bevacizumab with Chemotherapy and Radiation for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This study is testing if adding a special infusion of Bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer and feel better.
-
Personalized delivery of tumor treating fields for glioblastoma patients
This study is testing if a new way of mapping brain tumors can help glioblastoma patients using Optune treatment live longer and feel better compared to the standard method.
-
Evaluating a new immune therapy for glioblastoma patients
This study is testing a new immune therapy for glioblastoma patients who have had surgery to see if it can help them live longer, especially those with a certain type of immune response.
-
Analysis of glioblastoma multiforme and normal brain tissue
This study is trying to understand glioblastoma multiforme by comparing the proteins and genes in tumor tissue with those in normal brain tissue to see what makes the cancer different.
-
Treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma using targeted drug infusion
This study is testing a new way to deliver a targeted drug directly to the brain tumor in people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma to see if it can improve their treatment outcomes.

18, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 5 countries. The most sites are in United States (13 trials), China (2 trials), Canada (1 trial), United Kingdom (1 trial), Taiwan (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 1: 5, Phase 2: 3, Phase 1/2: 3, Phase 3: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
