Kansas City, MissouriAges Any age - 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.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05727904RecruitingPhase 3
New immunotherapy for advanced melanoma, with or without lifileucel

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.

Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain

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.
