Recruiting studies
- NCT07215988Recruiting
Studying insurance for skin cancer treatment
This study looks at how insurance covers immunotherapy given before surgery for certain skin cancers. It includes people with Merkel cell, mucosal melanoma, basal cell, or other rare skin cancers who are planning to have surgery.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07302347RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of pembrolizumab for different cancers in Japan
This trial tests a drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to see if it helps people with several types of cancer, including relapsed or refractory lymphoma, melanoma, MSI-high or TMB-high solid tumors, and Merkel cell carcinoma. The goal is to understand if this immunotherapy can shrink or control the cancer.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 6 months+ - NCT05076760RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a cancer-killing virus with standard treatments
This Phase 1 trial tests MEM-288, an oncolytic (cancer-killing) virus, either alone or combined with standard cancer medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s designed to see how the treatment works and how safe it is in different cancer types and after specific prior therapies.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05086692RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Beta-only IL-2 therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests a beta-only version of IL-2, an immune-stimulating treatment, to shrink or control advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and to see if it can help patients by improving tumor response.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05269381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer vaccine with pembrolizumab for advanced tumors
This study makes a custom vaccine from your tumor’s genetic information and gives it with pembrolizumab (an immune therapy). It aims to help control advanced solid tumors by teaching your immune system to recognize cancer-specific targets.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT05797415Recruiting
Check sentinel lymph node biopsy for several eye skin cancers
This trial studies whether a “sentinel lymph node biopsy” can better detect cancer spread in people with specific cancers of the eye surface and nearby tissues. It may help doctors find the right next treatment by learning whether lymph nodes are involved.
Roma, RomeAges 18–95 - NCT05859074RecruitingPhase 1
Testing MQ710 injections alone or with pembrolizumab for advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests MQ710, a medicine given by injection into a reachable tumor, to see how well it can control advanced cancers. Some participants also receive pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy, to help the immune system fight the cancer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05955924RecruitingPhase 3
Nicotinamide to prevent skin cancer after organ transplant
This trial tests nicotinamide (a vitamin-like medicine) to help prevent new keratinocyte skin cancers in people who have had a kidney, liver, heart, or lung transplant. It may lower the chance of developing new skin tumors while you continue your usual transplant anti-rejection medicines.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06444815RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VET3-TGI for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental treatment called VET3-TGI, which is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried other treatments and are looking for new options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06940440RecruitingPhase 1
IFx-Hu2.0 with pembrolizumab for advanced Merkel cell carcinoma
This trial tests a new drug, IFx-Hu2.0, given alongside the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced or spreading Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink tumors and slow the disease.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06947928RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for Merkel cell cancer
This trial tests an experimental vaccine (IFx-Hu2.0) followed by the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in people with advanced Merkel cell carcinoma who have not been treated with checkpoint inhibitors before. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07080242RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BL-M14D1 for people with certain types of advanced lung cancer or neuroendocrine tumors that have stopped responding to other treatments. It may be an option if your cancer has a specific marker called DLL3.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07115043RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AZD6750 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AZD6750 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07288073RecruitingPhase 2
TIL Therapy for Advanced Skin Cancer Patients
This study tests a personalized cell therapy called TIL (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) for people with advanced skin cancers that have not responded to immunotherapy. Doctors take your tumor cells, grow immune cells from them, and then infuse them back to fight the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06021626RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CRD3874-SI for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called CRD3874-SI for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can shrink tumors.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07174583RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of IDE849 for DLL3-positive cancers like SCLC
This trial tests a new drug called IDE849 for cancers that make a protein called DLL3, including small cell lung cancer and some neuroendocrine tumors. It is for people whose cancer has progressed after standard treatments, and may be given alone or combined with other drugs like durvalumab or IDE161.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic merkel cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting metastatic merkel cell carcinoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a metastatic merkel cell carcinoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a metastatic merkel cell carcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
