- NCT03860883Recruiting
Comparing wider versus narrower surgery margins for stage II melanoma
This trial studies whether removing a slightly wider strip of skin around a melanoma improves outcomes compared with a narrower strip. It also uses a lymph node staging procedure to check spread and helps doctors fine-tune surgery for stage II melanoma.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05267626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AU-007 antibody for hard-to-remove or spread skin and lung cancers
This trial tests AU-007, an antibody that targets the IL-2 pathway, in people with certain advanced skin (melanoma) or lung (NSCLC) cancers. It’s designed for cancers that have already progressed after prior immune and other treatments, to see if AU-007 can shrink tumors or control disease.

Blood test study to watch for cancer coming back

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.

You stay in control

The team decides eligibility
