Study of NN3201 for advanced cancers with c-Kit
This trial tests a new drug, NN3201, that targets a protein called c-Kit found on some cancer cells. It may be an option for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including GIST, small cell lung cancer, or other c-Kit-positive cancers, who have already tried standard treatments or cannot take them.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06814496RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy combo for DLL3-positive cancers
This trial combines radiation with an immunotherapy drug called tarlatamab to treat cancers that make a protein called DLL3. The goal is to see if this combination works better than either treatment alone for people with certain types of lung cancer and other tumors that have not responded to prior therapy.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–99 - NCT06708663RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug combo for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests two new drugs, HX009 and IN10018, with or without standard chemotherapy, for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to treatment or have no standard options. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06675643Recruiting

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.
