HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.

Radiation plus atezolizumab for advanced skin cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies adding atezolizumab (an immune therapy) to radiation for people with hard-to-remove or borderline-resectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). The goal is to see whether this combination can better control the cancer and whether the treatment is safe.

Zimberelimab and quemliclustat with chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial studies how well zimberelimab and quemliclustat work together with standard chemotherapy for people with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It may help shrink the tumor and make treatment more effective before or around the time surgery is considered for some patients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07562841RecruitingPhase 1
Gold nanoparticles and radiation therapy for advanced melanoma
This study tests a new treatment combining gold nanoparticles (Au-TMP), radiation therapy, and an immune-boosting drug (anti-PD-1) for advanced melanoma that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07224152RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation for inoperable lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called NBTXR3, which makes cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. You'll get one injection of NBTXR3 into your lung tumor, followed by standard radiation. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot have surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06058663RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation and immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests combining a targeted radiation treatment (radioembolization) with two immunotherapy drugs (tremelimumab and durvalumab) for people with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to shrink tumors and control cancer spread to lymph nodes or one other organ.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06959108RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two treatments for head and neck cancer before chemoradiation
This trial tests two different drug combos—one using an EGFR-targeted therapy alone, the other adding an immunotherapy—before standard chemoradiation for locally advanced head and neck cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better without prior treatment.
VillejuifAges 18–75 - NCT05631964RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial of BL-M07D1 for advanced HER2-positive digestive tumors
This early-phase trial tests BL-M07D1 in people with advanced digestive tract (and other solid) cancers that can’t be removed with surgery and have already tried or can’t use standard treatment. It’s studying whether the drug works and how safe it is, and whether HER2 tumor results are linked to benefit.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06102057RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided small volume chemoradiation with immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (durvalumab) for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if giving a smaller, more focused radiation dose can be just as effective with fewer side effects.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT05842785RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for hard-to-treat advanced solid cancers or lymphomas
This early-phase study tests TSN222 in people with advanced, hard-to-treat solid tumors or lymphomas. It aims to see whether the drug can shrink tumors or improve outcomes, including in specific cancer types like head and neck cancer and melanoma.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced melanoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 186 recruiting locally advanced 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 locally advanced 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 locally advanced 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.
