Study genes from children’s mole and melanoma samples
This study looks at the DNA and other biology from skin lesions (like melanoma or unusual pigmented moles) in children and teens. It aims to better understand what these tumors are and how they behave, using tissue samples collected during routine care.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 18 years - NCT04897321RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy for children with B7-H3 solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a lab-made immune therapy (CAR T cells) made from your own cells to treat children’s solid tumors that have a specific marker called B7-H3. It is designed for kids whose cancer has come back or did not respond to standard treatment, aiming to shrink tumors and keep the therapy safe.

Tegavivint for kids and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early-phase study tests tegavivint to see how well it works and how safe it is for children and young adults with solid cancers that have come back or are not responding. It may be an option if your tumor type (including certain lymphomas or desmoid tumors) matches the study’s rules.

New immunotherapy for advanced melanoma, with or without lifileucel
This trial studies whether adding lifileucel (a patient-specific immune-cell treatment) to pembrolizumab works better than pembrolizumab alone. It’s for people with untreated advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.
Bartlett, TennesseeAges 18–70 - NCT06581406RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
RP2 with nivolumab for untreated uveal melanoma
This clinical trial tests a new treatment called RP2 (a virus that attacks cancer cells) combined with nivolumab (an immunotherapy drug) for people with metastatic uveal melanoma who have never had immunotherapy before. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Germantown, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT06264180RecruitingPhase 3
Viral therapy and nivolumab for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a combination of an investigational viral therapy (VO) and the immunotherapy nivolumab for people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to previous anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 treatments. The goal is to see if this combination works better than other standard treatments your doctor might choose.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 12 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.

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.
