Wherever you are in your search, a patient navigator can help 

Whether you are looking at a specific trial, facing recurrence or progression, or just starting to explore — a patient navigator can help you find brain tumour clinical trial options that may be relevant for your situation. We have supported patients and families in the UK and over 135 countries.

A specific brain tumour trial you're considering

Walk through the details, criteria, and what to ask the trial team. Bring any trial name, ID, or link you've come across

Trials after surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy

Including options after chemotherapy or other prior treatment. Bring details on what you've had and when

Options after recurrence or progression

For tumours that have come back, grown, or stopped responding to current treatment. A navigator can help you explore what may be open now

Immunotherapy, CAR-T, and other investigational therapies

Including cell therapy, vaccine approaches, and new treatment combinations being studied for brain tumours

Why patients and families work with a navigator 

Information about brain tumour trials is scattered, fast-changing, and often hard to interpret without specialist knowledge. New trials open, others close, and eligibility criteria can shift month to month. With multiple tumour types and treatment paths, even motivated patients and caregivers lose time and miss options trying to figure this out alone.

A navigator does this work full-time. They keep up with the research as it changes, match what is open to your tumour type and treatment history, and explain what each option may involve so you can make decisions with clarity instead of guesswork.

Understanding clinical trials for brain tumours 

Clinical trials are research studies that test new treatments to see if they are safe and how well they work. For brain tumours, trials are looking at new types of treatments such as immunotherapy, CAR-T and other cell therapies, vaccine approaches, and new treatment combinations. Others look at ways to slow progression or manage symptoms. These treatments are investigational, which means researchers are still studying them and they are not yet approved as standard treatment. 

Why people consider trials

Possible access to investigational treatments not yet available 

Regular check-ups and care from the clinical trial team

Contributing to brain tumour research may help future generations

Important to know: Clinical trials aren't right for everyone, come with risks, and don't guarantee benefit. A call with a navigator can help you understand whether a trial may make sense for your situation and what questions to ask before deciding anything.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Is this relevant for me or my loved one with a brain tumour? 

If you or your loved one has a brain tumour, there may be clinical trial options to explore depending on tumour type, treatment history, and scan results. Some brain tumour trials are for people who are newly diagnosed, others for people whose tumour has returned or progressed, and others for people who have completed standard treatment. A short call with a patient navigator can help you understand which options may be relevant for your situation and what may be worth keeping an eye on as new trials open.

How do I know if exploring a clinical trial makes sense right now? 

It depends on what feels manageable for you and your family — how you are doing today, how much travel or time you could take on, and whether you want to explore options now or simply stay informed. A patient navigator can help you understand what exploring trial options could involve and prepare questions to discuss with your care team. You can explore options without committing to anything.

What if the tumour has returned, progressed, or treatment is no longer working?

That is one of the most common reasons people start exploring clinical trials. Some brain tumour trials are designed specifically for people whose tumour has returned, grown, or stopped responding to current treatment. A navigator can help you understand whether there may be options that fit your situation and what questions to ask your care team.

Can I explore brain tumour trials after surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or temozolomide?

Yes, in many cases. Some brain tumour trials are specifically for people who have already had treatment such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or temozolomide, while others are for people who are newly diagnosed. Eligibility often depends on the type of treatment you have had, when you had it, and how the tumour has responded since — the clinical trial team confirms the final details for any specific trial.

What happens if I book a navigator call?

You'll speak with a navigator who will ask a few questions about your diagnosis, treatment history, and current situation, so we can understand what clinical trial options may be relevant. If you have scan or pathology reports, it helps to share them — but you don't need everything ready to start. After the call, we'll explain what options may be a match (if any) and what next steps could look like. We won't contact any clinical trial team without your permission.

Is this a commitment to join a clinical trial?

Booking a call is not a commitment to joining a clinical trial. Many patients and caregivers speak with a patient navigator simply to understand what options may exist and what joining a trial could involve. After the call, you can decide what (if anything) you want to do next, including just staying informed.

What if I am not eligible for a brain tumour clinical trial?  

That can happen and it’s common. Brain tumour trials often have specific requirements related to tumour type, previous treatments, scan results, general health, or other medical details. If you are not eligible right now, your navigator can explain why, help you understand what to watch for, and keep you informed as new trials open or criteria change.

Do I need scan results or pathology reports to explore brain tumour clinical trials? 

Not necessarily, but they are often helpful, because many brain tumour trials have specific criteria related to tumour type, grade, and treatment history. If you already have those documents, you can share them during or after the call. If you don't, your patient navigator can explain what information may be useful and what to ask your care team to gather. We'll only share information with a clinical trial team if you ask us to.

Will we need to travel for a brain tumour clinical trial?

Sometimes, yes. Many brain tumour trials take place at specialist hospitals, and joining a trial may require in-person visits for scans, tests, or treatment. How much travel is needed depends on the specific trial. Some have sites in multiple regions, while others are only available in a few locations. If you're interested in a specific option, the clinical trial team can confirm practical details, including any travel support.

Is there any cost to speak with a patient navigator?

No, there’s no cost to speak with a myTomorrows patient navigator. The call is for information and guidance, so you can understand what clinical trial options may be relevant and what next steps could look like. You can decide what (if anything) you want to do after the call.

Will my information be kept private?

Yes. We handle any medical information you share securely and use it only to assess whether clinical trial options may be relevant. We will not share your information with any clinical trial team or hospital without your clear permission.

More on clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests a new treatment or approach to see how safe it is and how well it works for a medical condition. Clinical trials follow strict rules and are reviewed by independent ethics committees to help protect participants. What's involved can vary by trial, including clinic visits, scans, and how the treatment is given. Joining a clinical trial is always voluntary.

Why do people consider clinical trials for brain tumours?

People consider brain tumour clinical trials for different reasons. Often, they want to learn about new treatment approaches — especially when current treatment options feel limited or aren't working as hoped. Others value the regular check-ups and specialist follow-up that can come with joining a trial, or want to support research that may help others in the future. A navigator can help you understand what trial options may be relevant, so you can discuss options with your care team.

Are brain tumour clinical trials safe?

Brain tumour clinical trials follow strict safety rules, but there can still be risks and side effects. Before someone can join a trial, the clinical trial team reviews medical information to check whether the trial is appropriate, and participants are monitored closely through regular visits and tests during the trial. Trials are also reviewed by independent ethics committees to help protect participants. Joining a clinical trial is always your choice, and you can stop at any time.
