Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- NCT06172478RecruitingPhase 2
HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Any age - 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).
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06066138RecruitingPhase 1
Trial: Adjusting Atezolizumab Dose Based on Drug Levels in Blood
This study tests whether adjusting the dose of the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab (Tecentriq) based on its levels in your blood works well. You may be able to join if you have advanced cancer and your doctor already plans to give you this drug (alone or with other approved treatments).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05155033RecruitingPhase 2
A trial of PD-1 plus aldesleukin for melanoma or kidney cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining anti–PD-1 treatment with aldesleukin can shrink or control metastatic melanoma or metastatic kidney (renal cell) cancer. It is mainly for people who have either not had anti–PD-1 before, or whose cancer did not respond to prior anti–PD-1 treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00068003Enrolling by invitation
Harvesting Cancer Cells for Experimental Treatment
This trial collects immune cells from cancer patients or healthy volunteers to develop new experimental cancer treatments. Researchers will take a sample of your tumor or blood cells, grow them in the lab, and study how to use them to fight your cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 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 - NCT05727904RecruitingPhase 3
New immunotherapy for advanced melanoma, with or without lifileucel
This trial studies whether adding lifileucel (a patient-specific immune-cell treatment) to pembrolizumab works better than pembrolizumab alone. It’s for people with untreated advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT06070012RecruitingPhase 2
Tebentafusp for untreated metastatic uveal melanoma
This trial tests a new drug called tebentafusp for people with uveal melanoma that has spread to other parts of the body and who have not yet received any treatment for the metastatic disease. It requires a specific genetic marker (HLA-A*0201) and focuses on whether the drug can shrink or slow the growth of tumors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06581406RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
RP2 with nivolumab for untreated uveal melanoma
This clinical trial tests a new treatment called RP2 (a virus that attacks cancer cells) combined with nivolumab (an immunotherapy drug) for people with metastatic uveal melanoma who have never had immunotherapy before. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.

What taking part in a metastatic melanoma 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.
