Recruiting studies
- NCT05704647RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus relatlimab for melanoma in the brain

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+ - NCT03093909RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing treatment with gemcitabine for lung cancer spread
This early-stage trial studies an inhaled (aerosol) form of gemcitabine to treat solid tumors that have spread to the lungs. It aims to see whether this lung-focused treatment is safe and how well it might work when standard curative options are not available.
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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for melanoma (skin cancer)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 153 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.
