Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05361174RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an IOV-4001 infusion for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial studies how well and how safely an infusion called IOV-4001 works in adults with advanced melanoma or non-small-cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It also aims to see what side effects occur and whether the treatment can help control the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT05896839RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy with prednisone and sirolimus for transplant skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) to prednisone and sirolimus can control advanced skin cancers in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for transplant recipients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05970497RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
KB707 trial for advanced solid tumors after other treatments
This early-stage trial tests KB707 in people with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded well to standard treatments. If you qualify, you may receive KB707 to see how well it can shrink tumors or control the disease.

Pemigatinib for advanced pancreatic cancer with FGFR changes
This trial tests a targeted pill, pemigatinib, for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific FGFR gene change. The study is done entirely through telemedicine, so you can participate from home if eligible.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05174169RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Adjuvant colon chemotherapy guided by tumor DNA results
This trial tests whether treatment for colon cancer after surgery can be guided by a blood test that looks for leftover cancer signals (ctDNA). It may help some people choose stronger or different chemo based on whether ctDNA is found after surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05428007RecruitingPhase 2
Sarilumab with three immunotherapy drugs for advanced melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding sarilumab (an immune-blocking medicine) to three immunotherapy medicines can shrink unresectable, advanced melanoma that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to improve how well the immune system controls the cancer, especially in Stage III or Stage IV disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06447103RecruitingPhase 2
New scan to find kidney cancer after surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan to see if it can better find leftover kidney cancer after surgery compared to a standard CT scan. You may qualify if you had kidney cancer surgery within the last 4-16 weeks and are at high risk of the cancer coming back.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07049276Recruiting
Lymph node surgery for melanoma with immunotherapy
This trial tests if a specific type of lymph node surgery, combined with a short course of immunotherapy (medicines that help your immune system fight cancer), works better for melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It's for people whose melanoma can be removed and who are healthy enough for treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07191717RecruitingPhase 2
Imlunestrant and abemaciclib for early ER+ breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding two targeted drugs, imlunestrant and abemaciclib, to your usual hormone therapy can lower the chance of your breast cancer coming back. It is for people with early-stage ER+ breast cancer who have no signs of cancer on scans but have tiny amounts of tumor DNA in their blood (called ctDNA).
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Burbank, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT06780787RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chemo plus immunotherapy for localized rectal cancer before surgery
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (FOLFOX) and two immunotherapies (botensilimab and balstilimab) before surgery for patients with localized rectal cancer. It aims to see if adding immunotherapy helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05655312RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation melanoma treatment with or without nivolumab
This early-stage study tests whether a targeted radioactive drug can shrink advanced melanoma, either alone or along with nivolumab (an immune-activating medicine). You may be eligible if your melanoma shows a specific target on scan imaging and has progressed despite prior melanoma treatments.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05691491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide plus M1774 for advanced metastatic cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of temozolomide and M1774 to see how safe it is and whether it can help shrink advanced cancers that have spread. It focuses on certain tumor types and specific biomarker results, and it may be an option if standard treatments have been tried or aren’t possible.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06771544RecruitingPhase 2
Cyclophosphamide and pembrolizumab for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a combination of daily low-dose cyclophosphamide (a chemotherapy pill) and pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) in people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to prior immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05211895RecruitingPhase 3
Durvalumab plus domvanalimab after chemoradiation for stage 3 lung cancer
