Recruiting studies
- NCT07600476RecruitingPhase 1
Safety Study of KUP-101A in Advanced Solid Tumors
This is an early-stage study testing a new drug called KUP-101A in patients with advanced solid cancers (like lung, colon, or breast cancer) that haven't responded to standard treatments. The drug works by activating the immune system to fight cancer.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07586904RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New Immunotherapy Combination for Advanced Melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (cadonilimab and interferon) given before surgery to treat advanced melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes or one distant site. The goal is to shrink tumors and improve chances of successful surgery and long-term survival.
Xi'anAges 18–75 - NCT07586891Recruiting
Low-Branched-Chain Amino Acid Diet With Immunotherapy for Stage III Melanoma
This trial tests whether a special diet low in certain amino acids (building blocks of protein), combined with an immune-boosting antibody drug, can safely shrink stage III melanoma that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
Xi'anAges 18–75 - NCT07581509RecruitingPhase 1
Comparing two immunotherapy drugs after melanoma surgery
This study compares two immunotherapy drugs to see which is better at preventing melanoma from returning after surgery. One drug is an experimental biosimilar similar to Keytruda, and the other is Keytruda itself.
Barretos, São PauloAges 18–99 - NCT07584291Recruiting
Blood Tests and Tissue Study for Melanoma
This research study analyzes blood and tissue samples from melanoma patients to identify biological markers that could help doctors better understand and treat the disease. Researchers will examine archived tissue samples and blood work to develop improved diagnostic tools.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT06727630RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A study of PRJ1-3024 for advanced or spreading melanoma
This trial tests a new drug called PRJ1-3024 for people with advanced melanoma that has not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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+ - NCT03116412Recruiting
Imaging check-ups after melanoma surgery trial
This trial studies whether adding or adjusting imaging scans during follow-up after melanoma surgery can help detect recurrence earlier. It compares different follow-up imaging schedules for people at higher risk after surgery.
BoråsAges 18 years+ - NCT07562841RecruitingPhase 1
Gold nanoparticles and radiation therapy for advanced melanoma
This study tests a new treatment combining gold nanoparticles (Au-TMP), radiation therapy, and an immune-boosting drug (anti-PD-1) for advanced melanoma that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07564570Recruiting
Exercise Before Melanoma Immunotherapy Treatment
This study tests whether doing physical exercise right before receiving immunotherapy (two drugs called nivolumab and ipilimumab) helps treat advanced melanoma. The goal is to see if exercise boosts how well these cancer-fighting drugs work in your body.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges Any age - NCT07530887RecruitingPhase 3
Melanoma Re-excision Study: Testing Observation Without Surgery
This study tests whether patients with moderate-thickness skin melanoma need additional surgery after their initial tumor removal, or if careful monitoring alone is enough. The goal is to avoid unnecessary surgery while keeping patients safe.
's-HertogenboschAges Any age - NCT06767332Recruiting
EMDR for fear of cancer returning in familial melanoma
This study tests whether EMDR therapy can help reduce the fear of cancer coming back in people who have been diagnosed with familial melanoma. If you often worry about your cancer returning, this treatment might help you feel more at ease.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07501117RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy before eye removal for high-risk eye melanoma
This trial tests immunotherapy before surgery for people with high-risk eye melanoma (uveal melanoma). You’ll get treatment to help your immune system fight the cancer, then have your eye removed. After surgery, you’ll be followed to see how well the treatment worked.
Herlev, HerlevAges 18–80 - NCT07504796RecruitingPhase 2
Adding ipilimumab to standard melanoma therapy based on ctDNA
This trial tests whether adding a second immunotherapy drug (ipilimumab) to the standard first-line combo of nivolumab and relatlimab improves outcomes for advanced melanoma. It uses a blood test (ctDNA) to decide who gets the extra drug.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06765850Recruiting
Melanoma blood marker study
This study looks at small molecules in your blood (called the metabolome) using special tests. Researchers want to see if these molecules change depending on how your melanoma progresses, which may help improve future care.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT07476326RecruitingPhase 1
Comparing a new biosimilar to Opdivo for melanoma after surgery
This trial tests whether a new biosimilar drug (Bmab1700) works as well as the approved immunotherapy Opdivo (nivolumab) to prevent melanoma from coming back after surgery. You would receive either the biosimilar or Opdivo for about a year, and researchers will compare how your body handles the drug and its safety.
Bento GonçalvesAges 18 years+ - NCT07475572RecruitingPhase 1
Comparing a biosimilar to Keytruda for melanoma after surgery
This trial tests a biosimilar drug (AVT32-DRL_PB) to see how it compares to the approved immunotherapy Keytruda® in people whose melanoma has been fully removed by surgery. It aims to help prevent the cancer from coming back.
KievAges 18 years+ - NCT06783270RecruitingPhase 1
T-Cell Therapy for Advanced Melanoma
This trial tests a new T-cell therapy made from your own tumor (TILs), genetically edited to remove the PD1 checkpoint blocker. It may help your immune system fight melanoma that has not responded to standard treatments like anti-PD1 therapy.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges 18–75 - NCT06630611RecruitingPhase 2
A new immune cell therapy for melanoma, lung, and cervical cancer
This trial tests a new way to boost your immune cells after they are collected from your tumor and grown in a lab. Instead of high-dose IL-2, you would get a modified version called ANV419, which may have fewer side effects.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07448831RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab before surgery for high-risk melanoma
This trial tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab before surgery can help people with high-risk melanoma. It is for patients whose melanoma has not spread and who have not had prior treatment for melanoma.

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.
