- 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 - 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+ - NCT07628634RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a Low-Methionine Diet in Solid Tumor Patients
This early-stage study explores whether eating a diet low in methionine (a natural amino acid found in protein) might help people with advanced solid tumors. Researchers will track how this dietary change affects blood levels and may improve treatment outcomes alongside standard cancer care.

Can Riluzole Help with Chemo Brain? A Pilot Study
This study tests if a medicine called riluzole (currently used for ALS) can help with 'chemo brain' – memory and thinking problems after cancer treatment. It is for people who feel their mental sharpness has declined after breast cancer therapy, certain chemotherapies, or brain radiation.

Blood test study to watch for cancer coming back

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+ - NCT05877430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an anti-cancer drug plus pembrolizumab for advanced cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests the safety and early signs of benefit from CJRB-101 when combined with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in people with advanced or metastatic lung, head and neck, or melanoma cancer. It may help some participants, but the main goal is to see how safe the combination is and whether it can control cancer.

What taking part in a melanoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
