Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- NCT05498792RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Trial testing CBL0137 with two immunotherapy drugs for melanoma
This early trial tests CBL0137 along with ipilimumab and nivolumab (two immune-based cancer medicines) in people with stage III or possibly stage IV melanoma that can be biopsied. It may help shrink melanoma and improve immune control, while also learning how safe and effective this combination is.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06414590RecruitingPhase 2
Tebentafusp before surgery for eye melanoma
This trial tests a drug called Tebentafusp for a type of eye melanoma (uveal melanoma) that is too large to be removed without taking out the whole eye. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink the tumor before deciding on surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06112314RecruitingPhase 3
New immunotherapy combo for advanced melanoma (first treatment)
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (IMC-F106C) combined with standard treatments against the usual nivolumab-based therapy for people with advanced melanoma who have not been treated before. It's for people who carry a specific immune system marker (HLA-A*02:01) and are in fairly good health.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06264180RecruitingPhase 3
Viral therapy and nivolumab for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a combination of an investigational viral therapy (VO) and the immunotherapy nivolumab for people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to previous anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 treatments. The goal is to see if this combination works better than other standard treatments your doctor might choose.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06246916RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new immunotherapy combo for advanced melanoma
This trial is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (anti-LAG-3 and anti-PD-1 antibodies) to see if they work better than standard treatment for people with advanced melanoma that hasn't been treated before. It may be an option if you have not yet received any systemic therapy for your melanoma.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT05655312RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation melanoma treatment with or without nivolumab
This early-stage study tests whether a targeted radioactive drug can shrink advanced melanoma, either alone or along with nivolumab (an immune-activating medicine). You may be eligible if your melanoma shows a specific target on scan imaging and has progressed despite prior melanoma treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–90 - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04752826RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing BI-1808 plus Keytruda for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new cancer medicine (BI-1808) either alone or together with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) in people with advanced cancers. It may help by strengthening the immune system’s attack on cancer, especially if standard treatments are no longer working or aren’t suitable.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05549297RecruitingPhase 3
Tebentafusp plus choice of treatment for advanced melanoma
This Phase 3 study compares tebentafusp treatment against the doctor’s choice of standard options in people with previously treated advanced melanoma. It aims to see which approach works better for controlling the cancer and improving outcomes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05727904RecruitingPhase 3
New immunotherapy for advanced melanoma, with or without lifileucel
This trial studies whether adding lifileucel (a patient-specific immune-cell treatment) to pembrolizumab works better than pembrolizumab alone. It’s for people with untreated advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.

What taking part in a advanced melanoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
