Targeted radiation melanoma treatment with or without nivolumab
This early-stage study tests whether a targeted radioactive drug can shrink advanced melanoma, either alone or along with nivolumab (an immune-activating medicine). You may be eligible if your melanoma shows a specific target on scan imaging and has progressed despite prior melanoma treatments.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT07086105RecruitingPhase 1
Study of Adze1.C for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new injected virus therapy (Adze1.C) for people with advanced melanoma that hasn't responded to other treatments. The virus is designed to attack tumors directly and may help your immune system fight the cancer.
Southport, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06627244RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tebentafusp and radioembolization for uveal melanoma that spread to the liver
This trial tests whether combining a drug called tebentafusp with a procedure called radioembolization can help control uveal melanoma that has spread mainly to the liver. Radioembolization delivers tiny radioactive beads to the liver, and tebentafusp helps your immune system attack the cancer.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06424626Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Testing new drug combos for advanced mucosal melanoma
This trial tests two experimental drugs, AK104 or AK112, combined with a targeted therapy called axitinib for people with metastatic mucosal melanoma (a rare type of skin cancer that has spread). The goal is to see if these combinations can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
BeijingAges 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+ - NCT07076550RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (A9-3408) for people with advanced melanoma that has not responded to standard treatments. The drug is designed to target and destroy melanoma cells. The study is early phase, so it is mainly checking safety and how well the drug works.
