Phase 3 Trials
Chemotherapy
Ultrasound-Assisted Chemotherapy for Glioblastoma
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
New York, New York
This trial tests a new method to treat recurrent brain cancer using an ultrasound device called SonoCloud-9. The device helps open the brain's protective barrier so that more of the chemotherapy drug carboplatin can reach the tumor. The goal is to see if this combination makes the treatment more effective. Carboplatin has been used in various studies for treating high-grade gliomas and glioblastomas, often showing modest efficacy due to low tissue concentration when delivered intravenously.
Radiation
Personalized Immunotherapy for Glioblastoma
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2 & 3
Newark, New Jersey
This trial will study an immunotherapy combining a cancer-patient's own cells and standard treatment to fight glioblastoma. Immune cells will be harvested from the patient, stimulated and expanded, then infused back.
Alkylating agents
Lomustine + Standard Therapy for Glioblastoma
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Allentown, Pennsylvania
This trial is comparing the effect of adding lomustine to temozolomide and radiation therapy versus temozolomide and radiation therapy alone in treating newly diagnosed MGMT methylated glioblastoma.
Alkylating agents
SIACI Bevacizumab + Temozolomide and Radiation for Glioblastoma
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
New York, New York
This trial tests a new treatment for aggressive brain cancer by using Mannitol to open the brain's barrier and then delivering Bevacizumab directly into the brain's arteries. It aims to improve survival rates for patients with newly diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme. Bevacizumab, typically administered intravenously, has shown superior outcomes when delivered directly into the brain's arteries in patients with recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme.
Alkylating agents
Multiple Therapies for Glioblastoma
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2 & 3
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This trial is testing various treatments for patients with newly diagnosed or returning brain cancer. It adjusts treatments based on how well patients are doing to find the most effective options. The goal is to improve survival rates by matching the best treatments to specific patient types.
Trials With No Placebo
Chemotherapy
Azeliragon for Glioblastoma
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
New York, New York
This trial is testing a pill called azeliragon along with radiation therapy for a fast-growing brain cancer called 'unmethylated' glioblastoma. This type of cancer doesn't respond well to standard chemotherapy. The pill might help radiation work better and slow down the cancer's growth.

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.
