Recruiting studies near Tampa
- 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.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06624644RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
LNS8801 with or without pembrolizumab for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new drug called LNS8801, alone or with pembrolizumab, for people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to prior treatments, especially anti-PD-1 therapy.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06906562RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Tampa, FloridaAges 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.
Tampa, FloridaAges 40–75 - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07357298RecruitingPhase 3
Brain MRI surveillance for stage IV breast cancer
This trial tests whether regular brain MRI scans can help detect brain metastases early in patients with stage IV breast cancer who do not yet have any known brain metastases. The goal is to see if early detection improves outcomes.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03567889RecruitingPhase 3
Injectable treatment before surgery for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether an injected medicine placed directly into melanoma tumors before surgery can improve outcomes for melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes/skin but can still be fully removed. It aims to shrink the cancer and reduce the chance it comes back after surgery.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06295159RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before and after surgery for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (anti-PD1) before and after surgery can help treat melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes or skin. It is for people whose melanoma can be removed surgically, and who either haven't had systemic treatment before or whose melanoma has returned after prior immunotherapy or targeted therapy.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04562129RecruitingPhase 2
IL-2 then ipilimumab followed by nivolumab for advanced melanoma
This Phase 2 trial studies a specific sequence of immune medicines for people with stage 3 or 4 melanoma that has spread or cannot be removed. It’s designed for melanoma that worsened after prior PD-1 treatment, aiming to shrink tumors and control disease.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04511013RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04741997RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Adjuvant melanoma treatment guided by response to targeted drugs
This early-phase study looks at whether people with melanoma can get the “right” follow-up (extra) treatment based on how well their cancer responds after starting targeted drugs before surgery. The goal is to improve outcomes while better matching treatment to each person’s tumor response.
Tampa, FloridaAges 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.
