Recruiting studies
- NCT05588453RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy and temozolomide for melanoma brain metastases

Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05652673Recruiting
Stopping immunotherapy after a good melanoma response
This trial studies whether it’s safe to stop nivolumab (an immunotherapy) after your melanoma has responded well to initial treatment with ipilimumab plus nivolumab. It may help some people avoid ongoing treatment side effects while still keeping the cancer controlled.
RotterdamAges 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 - NCT05737303RecruitingPhase 3
First-line chemotherapy comparison for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two chemotherapy drug approaches (nab-paclitaxel vs another taxane drug) as the first treatment for advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. It aims to find which option works better and is tolerated better in people with stage III–IV disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05940311Recruiting
Blood test for melanoma with BRAF V600E mutation
This trial studies a very sensitive blood test to detect melanoma-related genetic changes in people with BRAF V600E. It may help track the disease more closely and guide care in advanced or high-risk situations.
RomeAges 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06073431Recruiting
Study on weight loss types in advanced cancer
This study looks at different types of weight loss (cachexia) in people with advanced lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer. Researchers want to find patterns to better understand and treat it. You can join even if you haven't lost weight yet.
Fort Smith, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06075524Recruiting
How PD-1 therapy affects immune cells in advanced cancers
This study looks at how your immune system responds to PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy (drugs like Keytruda or Opdivo) for advanced melanoma, lung cancer, and similar cancers. It involves regular blood tests to track your immune cells, which may help doctors understand why these treatments work for some people better than others.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06199713Recruiting
Melanoma trial tracking treatment response with PET scans and blood tests
This study is looking at whether a special PET scan (FDG PET/CT) and a blood test that measures ctDNA (cancer DNA in the blood) can help predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors work in people with advanced melanoma. If you are planning to get treatment with immunotherapy drugs like ipilimumab, nivolumab, or pembrolizumab, you may be able to join.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06204991RecruitingPhase 1
T-cell therapy for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new treatment called ADP-TILIL7 for people with advanced melanoma. It uses your own immune cells (T-cells) that are taken from a tumor, multiplied in a lab, and then given back to you to fight the cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and works better than standard options.
HerlevAges 18–75 - NCT06265285RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab at home vs. clinic for cancer treatment
This study compares giving the immunotherapy drug nivolumab as a shot under the skin at home versus in the clinic. It is for people with certain cancers who are already taking or starting nivolumab.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06284590RecruitingPhase 2
Injected immunotherapy plus pembrolizumab for resistant melanoma
This study tests a new approach for advanced melanoma that is not responding to standard immunotherapy (like pembrolizumab). It combines a targeted injection directly into the tumor (L19IL2, L19TNF, or both) with pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help the immune system fight the cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 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+ - NCT06319196RecruitingPhase 2
Clearing melanoma with immunotherapy after surgery
This trial tests whether a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) can clear tiny amounts of cancer cells that remain after surgery in people with high-risk melanoma. It aims to prevent the cancer from coming back.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06508775Recruiting
Long-term checkup for Miltenyi cell therapy patients
This study is a long-term check-in for people who received a special type of immunotherapy (CAR T cells) made by Miltenyi. It helps researchers see how you're doing over time after your treatment.
BerlinAges Any age - 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.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06643286Recruiting

This trial tests a mobile app that provides a personalized survivorship care plan for people recently diagnosed with early-stage melanoma. It aims to help patients manage their follow-up care and improve quality of life.
Dordrecht, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06651151RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant LTX-315 plus pembrolizumab for resectable melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (LTX-315 and pembrolizumab) given before surgery to shrink melanoma that is stage III or IV (M1a) and can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach works better than surgery alone.
Oslo, OsloAges 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+ - NCT06784778Recruiting
Testing a blood test to predict immunotherapy response
This study is testing a new blood test called IOpener®-Melanoma to see if it can predict which patients with advanced melanoma will respond well to immunotherapy. The goal is to better match treatments to people who will benefit most.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06855706Recruiting
Personalized physical activity program for ovarian and endometrial cancers
This study tests whether a personalized, automated physical activity program (using a Fitbit and continuous glucose monitor) can improve immune function and health outcomes in people with advanced ovarian, primary peritoneal, fallopian tube, or newly diagnosed endometrial cancer.
