Recruiting studies near Madison
- NCT06488365Recruiting
Melanoma blood test using a new device (Cytophone)
This trial tests a new, non-invasive device called a liquid biopsy that looks for melanoma cells in your blood. It may help find cancer earlier without needing a needle biopsy.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–80 - 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.
Madison, WisconsinAges 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.
Madison, WisconsinAges Any age - NCT05655312RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
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.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–90 - NCT07281924RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination Treatment for Melanoma Spread to Liver
This trial tests a combination of liver-directed chemotherapy (HEPZATO KIT) with a new immunotherapy called Opdualag for people whose melanoma has spread to the liver and who have not had many prior treatments.
Madison, WisconsinAges 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.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - 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).
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04511013RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05538130RecruitingPhase 1
Study medicine for BRAF-mutated advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies how PF-07799544 works and what dose is safest in people with advanced cancer that has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600. You may receive it alone or with another treatment, depending on the tumor group, to see if it can treat the cancer.

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
