Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT06047379RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing NEO212 for brain tumors and metastases
This trial tests a new drug called NEO212 for people with certain brain tumors (like astrocytoma or glioblastoma) or cancer that has spread to the brain from other parts of the body. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help shrink or control the tumors.
Boynton Beach, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04975152RecruitingPhase 1
Cemiplimab before surgery for Merkel cell and skin cancers
This early-phase study tests cemiplimab (an immune therapy that helps your immune system attack cancer) given before surgery. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes for people with Merkel cell cancer or certain locally advanced skin squamous cell cancers (CSCC).
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05076760RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a cancer-killing virus with standard treatments
This Phase 1 trial tests MEM-288, an oncolytic (cancer-killing) virus, either alone or combined with standard cancer medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s designed to see how the treatment works and how safe it is in different cancer types and after specific prior therapies.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05086692RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Beta-only IL-2 therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests a beta-only version of IL-2, an immune-stimulating treatment, to shrink or control advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and to see if it can help patients by improving tumor response.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05269381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer vaccine with pembrolizumab for advanced tumors
This study makes a custom vaccine from your tumor’s genetic information and gives it with pembrolizumab (an immune therapy). It aims to help control advanced solid tumors by teaching your immune system to recognize cancer-specific targets.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT05896839RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy with prednisone and sirolimus for transplant skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) to prednisone and sirolimus can control advanced skin cancers in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for transplant recipients.
Aventura, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05969860RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment vs clinic treatment for advanced cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares giving certain standard cancer infusions at home versus in a clinic. It may help people avoid clinic visits while still receiving the same cancer treatment safely.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06444815RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VET3-TGI for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental treatment called VET3-TGI, which is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried other treatments and are looking for new options.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06940440RecruitingPhase 1
IFx-Hu2.0 with pembrolizumab for advanced Merkel cell carcinoma
This trial tests a new drug, IFx-Hu2.0, given alongside the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced or spreading Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink tumors and slow the disease.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06947928RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for Merkel cell cancer
This trial tests an experimental vaccine (IFx-Hu2.0) followed by the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in people with advanced Merkel cell carcinoma who have not been treated with checkpoint inhibitors before. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07285044RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment program for Florida panhandle residents
This study tests whether people with certain cancers can safely receive their regular intravenous treatments at home instead of coming to the clinic. It aims to make treatment more convenient and improve satisfaction, especially for those living in the Florida Panhandle.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04787042RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety and early benefits of ST-067 for advanced solid tumors
This early-stage trial tests ST-067 to see if it is safe and whether it may shrink advanced cancers. It also looks at how the drug moves through the body and affects the immune system.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05882058RecruitingPhase 2
Dose test of a DLL3 cancer drug for neuroendocrine tumors
This Phase 2 study tests how different doses of BI 764532 affect people with small cell lung cancer or certain other neuroendocrine cancers. It may help shrink tumors and improve symptoms after standard treatments have stopped working.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07174583RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of IDE849 for DLL3-positive cancers like SCLC
This trial tests a new drug called IDE849 for cancers that make a protein called DLL3, including small cell lung cancer and some neuroendocrine tumors. It is for people whose cancer has progressed after standard treatments, and may be given alone or combined with other drugs like durvalumab or IDE161.

What taking part in a merkel cell carcinoma 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.

Common questions
- Are there merkel cell carcinoma clinical trials in Florida?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 14 recruiting merkel cell carcinoma studies with a site in Florida, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a merkel cell carcinoma study in Florida?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Florida to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Florida, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a merkel cell carcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New merkel cell carcinoma studies open in Florida regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
