This study tests an online program to help melanoma survivors do full-body skin self-checks regularly. It may help you catch new or changing skin areas earlier by improving how often and how thoroughly you check.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04282044RecruitingPhase 1
CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04428671RecruitingPhase 1
Cemiplimab before and after surgery for high-risk skin cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests the drug cemiplimab given before and after surgery to reduce the chance that high-risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer comes back. You may be a candidate if your cancer is high-risk on pathology or imaging and is planned for surgical removal.

Houston, TexasAges 12–50 - NCT05296564RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TCR cell therapy for NY-ESO-1 positive metastatic cancers
This study tests a customized immune-cell treatment made from your own T cells to attack cancers that have NY-ESO-1. It may help shrink tumors in people with metastatic or hard-to-treat cancer when other treatments have not worked.
JerusalemAges 18–70 - NCT06090266RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of OR502 alone and with other cancer treatments
This trial tests an experimental drug called OR502, which targets a protein on immune cells, to see if it can help fight advanced solid tumors. It is given alone or with other anti-cancer drugs, and the study aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07339176RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A trial of N17350 injected into tumors for advanced solid cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug, N17350, that is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments or who cannot receive them. The study aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04068155Recruiting
Radiation device for certain skin cancers you can treat locally
This trial tests a radiation-emitting device placed near the tumor to treat certain malignant skin cancers that can be fully covered. It may help shrink or control the cancer at the skin site where the device is applied.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT05702398RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vitamin A and niacinamide for high-risk skin cancer
This early trial tests whether adding vitamin A and niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3) can help people with a history of certain skin cancers reduce new disease. It is designed for adults with specific prior skin cancer or skin lesion treatment patterns.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06708663RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug combo for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests two new drugs, HX009 and IN10018, with or without standard chemotherapy, for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to treatment or have no standard options. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05478876Recruiting
Carbon ion radiation for vaginal or cervix mucosal melanoma
This trial studies whether carbon ion radiation can control mucosal melanoma in the lower female genital tract. It may help by targeting the tumor with high-precision radiation while trying to protect nearby organs like the bladder and rectum.
PaviaAges 20–80 - NCT06240143RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Intradermal immunotherapy for high-risk stage II melanoma
This trial tests if injecting two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) just under the skin can help prevent high-risk stage II melanoma from spreading. It is for people who have recently had a thick melanoma removed and have not yet had a sentinel node biopsy.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06765850Recruiting
Melanoma blood marker study
This study looks at small molecules in your blood (called the metabolome) using special tests. Researchers want to see if these molecules change depending on how your melanoma progresses, which may help improve future care.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT05144698RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RAPA-201 cell therapy for certain advanced lung and head cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests RAPA-201, a personalized immune cell treatment made from your own T cells, for advanced solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer has come back after standard treatment and after an anti–PD-1/PD-L1 antibody.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06660420RecruitingPhase 1
PRAME-targeted NK cells for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy using your own immune cells (NK cells) modified to target a protein called PRAME found on melanoma cells. It is for people whose melanoma has not responded to or has returned after standard immunotherapies.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for melanoma (skin cancer)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 148 recruiting melanoma (skin cancer) 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 melanoma (skin cancer) 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 melanoma (skin cancer) 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.
