Recruiting studies near Sacramento
- NCT06418204Recruiting
Cannabis use study for cancer patients in community clinics
This study looks at the benefits and risks of using cannabis or cannabinoids for cancer patients. It aims to help understand how these products affect symptoms and quality of life during chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06246916RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new immunotherapy combo for advanced melanoma
This trial is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (anti-LAG-3 and anti-PD-1 antibodies) to see if they work better than standard treatment for people with advanced melanoma that hasn't been treated before. It may be an option if you have not yet received any systemic therapy for your melanoma.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test study to watch for cancer coming back
This study looks at whether blood tests can detect signs that cancer may return after curative-intent treatment. You would have blood drawn around your usual follow-up visits for up to 5 years, and your de-identified health data would be shared with study investigators.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07338968Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for early choroidal melanoma study
This study follows people who finished a previous trial for a type of eye cancer called early choroidal melanoma. It checks how patients are doing over time after receiving either the study treatment (bel-sar) or a placebo (sham).
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 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.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT06673095Recruiting
Narrow vs wide surgery for invasive skin melanoma
This trial compares two surgeries for invasive melanoma: a narrow removal versus a wider one. It aims to see if a smaller surgery works as well, which could mean less scarring and recovery time.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06272864Recruiting
A study looking at genetics of certain advanced cancers
This study tests the genes of your cancer to learn more about advanced breast, lung, melanoma, or sarcoma tumors. It may help doctors find better ways to treat these cancers in the future.
Stockton, CaliforniaAges 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.
Napa, CaliforniaAges 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.

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.
