Recruiting studies near Pittsburgh
- NCT07223411Recruiting
Opdualag vs. cemiplimab/fianlimab for melanoma
This trial compares two treatments for advanced melanoma that cannot be removed with surgery or has spread. It studies how these treatments affect the immune response in tumors and blood, and requires extra biopsies and blood draws.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–90 - NCT06413680RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of REGN10597 with or without cemiplimab for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called REGN10597, either alone or with cemiplimab, for people with advanced solid tumors (like melanoma or kidney cancer) that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Pittsburgh, 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.
Pittsburgh, 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06697301RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug with pembrolizumab for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new drug (EIK1001) combined with the standard immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The goal is to see if adding EIK1001 is more effective than placebo plus pembrolizumab.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06060613RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
OBX-115 cell therapy for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called OBX-115 for people with advanced melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells to fight the cancer. The study aims to see if it is safe and effective.
Pittsburgh, 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–70 - NCT04370587RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Injecting a cancer medicine into tumors plus pembrolizumab
This Phase 1/2 study tests a medicine injected directly into a tumor, alone or with pembrolizumab (an immune-therapy drug given through a vein). It is for people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have grown despite standard treatments, aiming to improve tumor control.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05877430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an anti-cancer drug plus pembrolizumab for advanced cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests the safety and early signs of benefit from CJRB-101 when combined with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in people with advanced or metastatic lung, head and neck, or melanoma cancer. It may help some participants, but the main goal is to see how safe the combination is and whether it can control cancer.
Pittsburgh, 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05538130RecruitingPhase 1
Study medicine for BRAF-mutated advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies how PF-07799544 works and what dose is safest in people with advanced cancer that has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600. You may receive it alone or with another treatment, depending on the tumor group, to see if it can treat the cancer.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 16 years+ - NCT06022029RecruitingPhase 1
Study of injected ONM-501 alone or with cemiplimab for advanced cancers
This trial tests an injected study drug (ONM-501) alone or with another drug (cemiplimab) for people with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas that haven't responded to other treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05970497RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
KB707 trial for advanced solid tumors after other treatments
This early-stage trial tests KB707 in people with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded well to standard treatments. If you qualify, you may receive KB707 to see how well it can shrink tumors or control the disease.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07115043RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AZD6750 for advanced solid tumors

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
