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+ - NCT07215988Recruiting
Studying insurance for skin cancer treatment
This study looks at how insurance covers immunotherapy given before surgery for certain skin cancers. It includes people with Merkel cell, mucosal melanoma, basal cell, or other rare skin cancers who are planning to have surgery.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07201376Recruiting
Testing a skin imaging device for non-melanoma skin cancer
This study tests a device that uses a special light to image skin lesions after applying an FDA-approved cream. It aims to see if the device can help doctors see benign skin growths more clearly before they are removed.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07177937RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DXC014 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests DXC014, a new drug, in people with advanced solid tumors, including prostate cancer. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07170293RecruitingPhase 2
Testing tunlametinib for NRAS-mutant solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental pill (Tunlametinib) for people with solid tumors that have a specific NRAS gene change and have stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05621837Recruiting
Biomarker study to guide treatment for several advanced cancers
This study measures how strongly your immune system is being suppressed and uses that information to help personalize cancer treatment. It mainly looks at people with certain advanced cancers and needs tumor tissue and follow-up to check possible immune-related markers.
MilanAges 18–90 - NCT07161310Recruiting
Urolithin A with immunotherapy for newly diagnosed solid tumors
This trial tests adding a natural supplement called urolithin A to standard first-line immunotherapy for people with newly diagnosed solid tumors who have not yet had any cancer treatment. The goal is to see if it makes the immunotherapy work better.
FrankfurtAges 18 years+ - NCT07144306Recruiting
AI-powered skin cancer detection study
This trial tests an artificial intelligence system designed to spot skin cancer early. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a suspicious skin spot and can give permission to participate.
LondonAges 1.5 years+ - NCT07124000Recruiting
T-DXd for advanced HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial is for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It tests the drug T-DXd (also called Enhertu) when your doctor has already decided it's the right treatment for you and you have no other good options.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for melanoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 458 recruiting melanoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a melanoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a melanoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
