Trials in Boston, Massachusetts

Here are the top 10 medical studies for glioblastoma in Boston, Massachusetts

Troriluzole

Procedure

Recruiting1 awardPhase < 1

This trial is investigating troriluzole as a potential treatment for recurrent glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. Troriluzole is a medication that is related to another drug

Optune®

Device

Recruiting1 award12 criteria

This trial is testing a new treatment for brain cancer that combines Optune with radiation and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new combination is more effective and has fewer side effects than current treatments.

Temozolomide +2 More

Alkylating Agent

Recruiting1 awardPhase 2

This trial is testing a combination of three drugs to treat brain tumors that have come back after previous treatments. The drugs help the immune system attack the tumor, stop the tumor cells from repairing themselves, and prevent them from growing. About 66-78 people will participate in this study.

Personalized NeoAntigen Vaccine +1 More

Cancer Vaccine

Recruiting1 awardPhase 1

This trial is studying a new type of vaccine as a possible treatment for patients with glioblastoma. It is evaluating the safety of the vaccine and finding the right dose to use.

BGB-290 +1 More

PARP Inhibitor

Recruiting1 awardPhase 1

This trial studies the safety and best dose of BGB-290 and temozolomide in treating young people with a specific type of brain tumor. BGB-290 blocks enzymes needed for tumor growth, while temozolomide kills or stops cancer cells from growing. The goal is to find out if this combination works better for these patients.

rQNestin34.5v.2

Virus Therapy

Recruiting3 awardsPhase 1

This trial is testing the safety of a new virus-based drug for brain tumors. If it is safe, they will also test what dose is most effective.

AB154 +1 More

Monoclonal Antibodies

Recruiting0 awardsPhase < 1

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs to treat glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. The trial is divided into two groups, with the first group receiving the new combination of drugs to test for safety and the second group receiving the new combination of drugs as well as surgery.

Atezolizumab +1 More

Monoclonal Antibodies

Recruiting1 awardPhase 2

This trial tests a combination of tocilizumab, atezolizumab, and precise radiation therapy in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Tocilizumab reduces inflammation, atezolizumab boosts the immune system, and the radiation targets the tumor. The goal is to make the tumor more responsive to treatment and improve patient outcomes.

GammaTile radiation therapy implantation +3 More

Brachytherapy

Recruiting3 awardsPhase 4

This trial tests if adding GammaTile radiation therapy to standard treatment can improve outcomes for patients with newly diagnosed GBM. GammaTile delivers quick, direct radiation to the tumor, which may help control the tumor better and improve survival rates.

Temozolomide +1 More

Alkylating agents

Recruiting1 awardPhase 2

This trial is testing a new drug called OKN-007 combined with a chemotherapy drug, temozolomide, in patients whose brain cancer has returned after standard treatments. OKN-007 may help reduce tumor growth and make the chemotherapy more effective. Temozolomide is effective in treating malignant brain tumors.

Alkylating Agent

Pembro + Olaparib with TMZ for Recurrent Glioblastoma

Recruiting1 awardPhase 2

Boston, Massachusetts

This trial is testing a combination of three drugs to treat brain tumors that have come back after previous treatments. The drugs help the immune system attack the tumor, stop the tumor cells from repairing themselves, and prevent them from growing. About 66-78 people will participate in this study.

Brachytherapy

GammaTile + Stupp Protocol for Glioblastoma

Recruiting3 awardsPhase 4

Providence, Rhode Island

This trial tests if adding GammaTile radiation therapy to standard treatment can improve outcomes for patients with newly diagnosed GBM. GammaTile delivers quick, direct radiation to the tumor, which may help control the tumor better and improve survival rates.

Kinase Inhibitor

Dabrafenib + Trametinib for Brain Tumors

Recruiting3 awardsPhase 4

Boston, Massachusetts

This trial is studying the effects of two cancer medications, dabrafenib and trametinib, in children. These drugs work by stopping signals that make cancer cells grow. Dabrafenib and trametinib have shown benefits in various BRAF-mutant tumors, including melanoma, lung cancer, and thyroid cancer. The goal is to see how these treatments affect children over time.

Radiation

Dabrafenib + Trametinib After Radiation for Brain Cancer

Recruiting1 awardPhase 2

Boston, Massachusetts

This trial studies how well dabrafenib and trametinib work after radiation therapy in children and young adults with a specific type of brain tumor. These drugs help stop tumor growth by blocking signals that tell the cells to multiply. Dabrafenib has been developed and tested extensively for a specific type of skin cancer, showing effectiveness both alone and when used with trametinib.

Alkylating Agent

Veliparib + Radiation + Temozolomide for Brain Cancer

Recruiting1 awardPhase 2

Boston, Massachusetts

This trial is studying a combination of drugs as a potential treatment for newly diagnosed malignant glioma. The drugs being studied are veliparib, radiation therapy, and temozolomide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?

Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).

Is there any support for travel costs?

Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.

Will I know what medication I am taking?

This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.

How long do clinical trials last?

Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.

Do you verify all the trials on your website?

All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.

How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?

Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
