This trial tests a new drug called LNS8801, alone or with pembrolizumab, for people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to prior treatments, especially anti-PD-1 therapy.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06204991RecruitingPhase 1
T-cell therapy for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new treatment called ADP-TILIL7 for people with advanced melanoma. It uses your own immune cells (T-cells) that are taken from a tumor, multiplied in a lab, and then given back to you to fight the cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and works better than standard options.
HerlevAges 18–75 - 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.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT03888950Recruiting
Interim PET-CT scan to assess anti-PD-1 treatment in melanoma
This study checks an “interim” whole-body scan (PET-CT) partway through treatment to see how well anti-PD-1 immunotherapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) is working for advanced melanoma. It may help doctors better understand early treatment response and guide next steps.
Nice, CHU de NICEAges 18 years+ - NCT03842943RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery immunotherapy for stage III melanoma
This trial tests immunotherapy given before surgery to help shrink or control stage III melanoma that has spread to nearby areas (lymph nodes/region). If it works, it may improve outcomes after the melanoma is removed.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06767306RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus immunotherapy for limited spread melanoma
This trial tests if combining targeted radiation (SBRT) with standard immunotherapy works better for melanoma that has spread to a few spots in the body (but not the brain). It is for people who have not yet had treatment for their current spread.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06090266RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of OR502 alone and with other cancer treatments
This trial tests an experimental drug called OR502, which targets a protein on immune cells, to see if it can help fight advanced solid tumors. It is given alone or with other anti-cancer drugs, and the study aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04793737Recruiting
Targeted radiation for melanoma that won’t respond to immunotherapy
This study tests a very focused form of radiation for melanoma that has spread and has stopped responding to PD-1 (and sometimes CTLA-4) immunotherapy. It may help by shrinking progressing spots while keeping the immune treatment going.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06774989Recruiting
Drug level monitoring in metastatic melanoma treatment
This trial checks how much of two drugs, encorafenib and binimetinib, remain in your blood while treating advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to learn if drug levels affect how well the treatment works.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT05029791Recruiting
Study of immune markers in treated metastatic melanoma
This study looks at immune and tumor “behavior” markers in people with metastatic melanoma after standard treatment. It may help researchers understand why treatment works for some people and not others by testing blood and skin tumor samples.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07504796RecruitingPhase 4
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+ - NCT06967961Recruiting
Looking for cancer cells that carry two markers in the blood
This trial is studying a special type of cell that shows up in the blood of people with certain advanced cancers. It aims to find out if these cells can help doctors better understand the cancer and guide treatment.
