Recruiting studies
- NCT06889766RecruitingPhase 1
NY-ESO-1 T cells for advanced melanoma and sarcoma
This trial tests a personalized cell therapy using your own immune cells (T cells) that have been modified to recognize a protein called NY-ESO-1, which is found on some melanoma and sarcoma tumors. It may help people whose cancer has progressed after standard treatments.

Keytruda plus Padcev for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—Keytruda (immunotherapy) and Padcev (a targeted drug that delivers chemotherapy to cancer cells)—for people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to standard immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this new pair can shrink tumors or slow the disease.

NEOadjuvant Ipi Nivo Rela for Melanoma
This trial tests a combination of three immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab, relatlimab, and nivolumab) given before surgery to people with melanoma that can be completely removed. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Wollstonecraft, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07057596RecruitingPhase 2
Tebentafusp before surgery for uveal melanoma in the liver
This trial tests a drug called tebentafusp before surgery for uveal melanoma that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if giving the drug first can shrink the tumors and make surgery more effective.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07063875RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding IL-2 to tebentafusp for advanced eye cancer
This trial tests if adding another drug called IL-2 to tebentafusp can help stop cancer from growing in people with advanced melanoma that started in the eye (uveal melanoma). It is for those whose cancer got worse while on tebentafusp alone.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07092670Recruiting
Melanoma treatment after surgery and its effect on fertility
This study looks at how adjuvant therapy (treatment after surgery) affects fertility in women under 40 who have had their melanoma completely removed. It will help doctors understand and manage the impact on future childbearing.

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07251335Recruiting
Melanoma and work sun exposure study
This study looks at whether men and women who get melanoma (a type of skin cancer) have had more sun exposure at work compared to those who don't have melanoma. It aims to help find and prevent work-related skin cancers.
Modena, MoAges 18 years+ - NCT01898039RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vaccine study for certain melanoma patients with specific blood markers
This trial tests a modified vaccine to help the immune system recognize melanoma. It is mainly for people with melanoma at higher risk or certain stages, and who have specific inherited tissue markers on blood testing.
JerusalemAges Any age - NCT02884362Recruiting
Prospective melanoma registry study in France
This study builds a future-looking database of people with melanoma in France. It collects information from consenting adults, which may help researchers better understand melanoma over time.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT07407166Recruiting
Immunotherapy for first-line metastatic melanoma in Slovenia
This study follows people with melanoma that has spread to other organs who are receiving immunotherapy as their first treatment. Researchers want to see how well this therapy works and look for clues in the body that predict response.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07565285RecruitingPhase 2
Combination Treatment for Operable Stage III Skin Melanoma
This study tests whether combining a new drug called PRTX007-003 with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) can help prevent melanoma from returning after surgery. You would receive both treatments after your tumor is surgically removed.
Waratah, New South WalesAges 18 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.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 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+ - NCT07280832RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
JMT108 for advanced melanoma and urinary tract cancer
This study tests a new drug called JMT108 for advanced melanoma or urinary tract cancer. It may help your immune system attack the cancer, and the study is checking if it is safe and how well it works.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06743126RecruitingPhase 3
IMA203 vs standard treatment for advanced skin cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy called IMA203 against standard treatments for people with advanced melanoma (a type of skin cancer) that has spread or can't be removed. It may be an option if you have already tried certain treatments and your cancer has a specific cell marker (HLA-A*02:01).
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02621021RecruitingPhase 2
Immune cell therapy for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a treatment that uses your own immune cells, called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), to fight melanoma. Some participants also get a drug called pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT07696715Recruiting

This trial studies the timing of a standard immunotherapy combination for advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It aims to understand how timing affects treatment results.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07761871Recruiting
Exercise and diet for people with melanoma on immunotherapy
This trial looks at whether adding a program of exercise and nutrition changes can improve quality of life and treatment outcomes for people with melanoma who are starting immunotherapy. If you qualify, you would take part in a structured plan to see if these lifestyle changes help.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07288112RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized immune vaccine for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new personalized vaccine made from your own tumor cells. It's for people with advanced melanoma that hasn't responded to standard immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this vaccine can help your immune system fight the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for melanoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 465 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.
