Recruiting studies
- NCT05789043RecruitingPhase 3
Test of immunotherapy plus pills and chemotherapy for advanced melanoma
This Phase 3 trial tests camrelizumab (an immune-boosting medicine) combined with apatinib (a targeted pill) and temozolomide (chemotherapy) as first treatment for advanced acral melanoma. It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes compared with other standard first-line options.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04331093RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery treatment for stage III–IV melanoma with two medicines
This trial tests two medicines given before surgery to shrink stage III–IV acral melanoma (a melanoma type on the hands/feet) and improve outcomes. If the tumors respond, surgery can happen afterward as planned.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT05098210RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized vaccine made from your tumor’s new immune targets
This Phase 1 study tests a customized vaccine made from “neo-antigens,” which are new targets found in your tumor. It aims to help your immune system fight certain advanced cancers that have not responded well to prior treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05512481RecruitingPhase 2
Study combination treatment before surgery for high-risk acral melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests three medicines given before surgery for people with high-risk acral melanoma (a skin cancer type). It aims to shrink or control the cancer earlier and see how well the treatment works and is tolerated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07155317RecruitingPhase 2
Time-of-day immunotherapy for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy at a specific time of day can improve its effectiveness for advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help you if you have stage IV melanoma and have not had immunotherapy in the last year.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06965231RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative Toripalimab and Endostatin for Stage II Melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, toripalimab (an immunotherapy) and endostatin (which targets blood vessels), given before and after surgery for stage II melanoma. The goal is to see if this combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05086692RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Beta-only IL-2 therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests a beta-only version of IL-2, an immune-stimulating treatment, to shrink or control advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and to see if it can help patients by improving tumor response.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04119024RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04511013RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06797297RecruitingPhase 2
Study of IBI363 vs pembrolizumab for advanced mucosal or acral melanoma
This trial tests a new drug, IBI363, compared to the standard drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced mucosal or acral melanoma who have not had treatment before. It aims to see if IBI363 works better or as well as the usual treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acral melanoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 10 recruiting acral melanoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acral melanoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acral melanoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
