La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06605404Recruiting
Pan-tumor study of a blood test after cancer surgery
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for leftover cancer cells after surgery. It is for people with different types of solid tumors who are planning to have surgery to cure their cancer. The goal is to see if the test can help guide future treatment decisions.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06428721Recruiting
Can laser treatment prevent skin spots in older adults?
This study tests if a laser treatment on your forearms can prevent precancerous spots (actinic keratoses) from developing in older adults with fair skin. You would receive the laser on one arm and a sham treatment on the other, and your skin will be monitored.
Fairborn, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT05955924RecruitingPhase 3
Nicotinamide to prevent skin cancer after organ transplant
This trial tests nicotinamide (a vitamin-like medicine) to help prevent new keratinocyte skin cancers in people who have had a kidney, liver, heart, or lung transplant. It may lower the chance of developing new skin tumors while you continue your usual transplant anti-rejection medicines.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05492682RecruitingPhase 1
First-in-human treatment for cancer using a drug injected into tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests PeptiCRAd-1, a treatment injected into a tumor, to see how safe it is and whether it can shrink cancers. It studies people whose cancer has come back or can’t be treated with standard options.
FrankfurtAges 18 years+ - NCT06163820RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bevacizumab and immunotherapy with radiation for melanoma brain metastases
This trial tests a combination of a drug that stops blood vessel growth (bevacizumab), immunotherapy, and focused radiation to treat melanoma that has spread to the brain and is causing symptoms. The goal is to see if this approach shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06602648Recruiting
Melanoma care study for young patients
This study aims to find better ways to treat melanoma in children, teenagers, and young adults. It may help improve care for patients under 30 years old with certain types of skin growths.
Florence, ItalyAges Up to 30 years - 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.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for melanoma (skin)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 110 recruiting melanoma (skin) 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) 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) 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.
