Recruiting studies
- NCT07148245Recruiting
Study of immunotherapy side effects in melanoma
This study looks at how people with advanced melanoma (a serious skin cancer) feel during treatment with immunotherapy. It aims to better understand the symptoms they experience, so doctors can help manage them.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07155317RecruitingPhase 2
Time-of-day immunotherapy for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy at a specific time of day can improve its effectiveness for advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help you if you have stage IV melanoma and have not had immunotherapy in the last year.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT02828202Recruiting
Melanoma patient follow-up study for multiple tumor stages
This study follows adults with certain melanoma stages to better understand the disease over time. You may be asked to share tissue samples (if available) so researchers can study tumor biology and track outcomes.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07405086RecruitingPhase 4
Morning vs. afternoon immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial compares giving immunotherapy in the morning versus the afternoon to see if timing affects how well it works. It is for people with certain types of advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have not had this treatment before.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06605833Enrolling by invitation
Heart health after immunotherapy for melanoma
This study looks at heart health in people who have finished immunotherapy for melanoma. It uses MRI scans to check for any heart problems that may have developed after treatment.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT03010150Recruiting
Blood tests and swallowing exercise check-ins for head and neck cancer
This study looks at whether giving swallowing exercises and checking in with questionnaires can help people with metastatic (spreading to neck lymph nodes) head and neck cancers do the exercises correctly. It also uses blood tests to better understand adherence and progress over time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07379138Recruiting
Talk therapy for distress in advanced melanoma
This study is testing whether a type of talk therapy (cognitive behavioral therapy) can help improve quality of life, including mental health, for people recently diagnosed with advanced melanoma. It is designed to understand and reduce cancer-related distress.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03340129RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus focused brain radiation for melanoma spread
This trial studies whether giving the immunotherapy drug nivolumab together with targeted brain radiation (not whole-brain radiation) helps people with melanoma that has spread to the brain. It aims to improve brain control while keeping side effects manageable.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–120 - NCT04331093RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery treatment for stage III–IV melanoma with two medicines
This trial tests two medicines given before surgery to shrink stage III–IV acral melanoma (a melanoma type on the hands/feet) and improve outcomes. If the tumors respond, surgery can happen afterward as planned.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT06764095RecruitingPhase 4
Drug combo before bladder or ureter surgery for advanced cancer
This trial tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, given before surgery to remove the bladder or ureter in people with advanced bladder or upper urinary tract cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the cancer and improves outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07635732Recruiting
Urine Bacteria as a Test for Melanoma Treatment Response
This study looks at bacteria naturally found in urine to see if they can help diagnose melanoma and predict how well systemic therapy (medicine that spreads throughout the body) will work. Researchers believe the types of bacteria in your urine may reflect how your immune system is responding to melanoma treatment.
Gratwein, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05527795Recruiting
Study features that predict benefit from extra immunotherapy in melanoma
This study looks for lab and tumor features that may help predict who benefits from follow-up (adjuvant) immunotherapy after surgery for melanoma. Your past treatment and tumor samples may be used to improve future treatment decisions.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06425926RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GIM-531 in advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new oral drug, GIM-531, alone and in combination with an anti-PD-1 therapy for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06444815RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VET3-TGI for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental treatment called VET3-TGI, which is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried other treatments and are looking for new options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07215182RecruitingPhase 2
New PET scan method for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that may find cancer more clearly and quickly than current scans. It's for people with advanced melanoma that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07087860RecruitingPhase 2
Plasma exchange plus targeted therapy for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a procedure called therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) combined with the drugs enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab for people with advanced bladder cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if TPE helps the drugs work better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06802172Recruiting
Timing meals during cancer treatment for Alaska Native patients
This study tests whether scheduling meals at specific times of day can improve how patients feel during cancer treatment. It is for Alaska Native or American Indian people with certain cancers (rectal, HER2+ or triple negative breast, or other solid tumors) who are receiving neoadjuvant (before surgery) or adjuvant (after surgery) therapy.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 21 years+ - NCT04529044RecruitingPhase 2
177Lu-DOTATATE for advanced breast cancer with targeted receptors
This Phase 2 trial tests whether 177Lu-DOTATATE can slow or shrink stage IV or recurrent breast cancer. It targets tumor “receptors” found on scans, using a radioactive medicine that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells.
Portland, OregonAges 18–100 - NCT05837767Recruiting
Radiation study for tumors that spread to soft tissue areas
This study looks at how a planned form of palliative radiation therapy treats certain solid cancers that have spread outside the brain to larger soft-tissue areas. It may help shrink tumors and relieve symptoms, but it also asks you to meet specific safety and treatment-timing rules.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07288034RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy biomarkers for advanced lung cancer
This study looks at blood and tissue biomarkers to predict how well immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It also helps decide the best second treatment if the first one stops working.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05570825RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug SX-682 with pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests SX-682 plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to treat metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It aims to see how well the combination works and whether it can shrink or control the cancer in people whose tumors have enough PD-L1.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04521764RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine for Metastatic Breast Cancer
This trial tests a vaccine (MV-s-NAP) that is injected directly into a tumor to stimulate your immune system against breast cancer. It is for people with metastatic breast cancer that has spread despite prior treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04151940Recruiting
PET/CT scan changes during chemo with immune therapy
This study looks at how PET/CT scan results change while you receive chemo plus an immune therapy (a PD-1/PD-L1 medicine) for stage IV lung cancer. The goal is to better understand what the scans mean during treatment, which may help guide care in the future.
