Brain tumor clinical trials play a vital role in facilitating breakthroughs in care and improving outcomes for patients now and into the future. Individuals who participate in a clinical trial - a controlled research study into a new treatment or methodology - help provide key answers to physicians and scientists regarding the effectiveness of emerging cancer therapies and how they compare to established brain tumor treatments.

Brain tumor clinical trials at Moffitt

Moffitt Cancer Center is making great strides in the fight against brain tumors through our trailblazing clinical trials and research initiatives. Here, patients in our Neuro-Oncology Program have unique opportunities to receive promising new brain tumor therapies before those options are made widely available. We are actively exploring innovations in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, including:

  • Screening and diagnostic strategies
  • Targeted therapies
  • Chemotherapy combinations and delivery methods
  • Immunotherapies
  • Vaccine therapies
  • Radiation therapies
  • Treatment options for benign (noncancerous) brain tumors
  • Surgical treatments and robotic-assisted techniques

The types of tumors that we have clinical trials for include:

  • Gliomas
  • Brain metastasis
  • Leptomeningeal disease
  • Spinal tumors

How do I take part in a brain tumor clinical trial?

Your first step toward participating in a brain tumor clinical trial is to speak with a physician about the studies currently available and whether one may be right for you. Clinical trials aren’t appropriate for every patient. Our team prioritizes patient education and will ensure you receive the information you need to make confident decisions about your care.
