Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT03947385RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
First drug test for metastatic uveal melanoma with specific gene changes
This Phase 1/2 trial studies IDE196 in adults with metastatic uveal melanoma that has certain gene mutations or fusions. It’s mainly testing safety and correct dosing, and may help shrink tumors in patients matched to the tumor’s genetic changes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT06626516RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tebentafusp and LDT for metastatic uveal melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (tebentafusp and a liver-directed treatment called LDT) for people with uveal melanoma that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07015190RecruitingPhase 3
Darovasertib before surgery for eye melanoma
This trial tests a drug called darovasertib given before standard surgery for primary uveal melanoma (a type of eye cancer that hasn't spread). The goal is to see if the drug can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06060613RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
OBX-115 cell therapy for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called OBX-115 for people with advanced melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells to fight the cancer. The study aims to see if it is safe and effective.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06414590RecruitingPhase 2
Tebentafusp before surgery for eye melanoma
This trial tests a drug called Tebentafusp for a type of eye melanoma (uveal melanoma) that is too large to be removed without taking out the whole eye. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink the tumor before deciding on surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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).
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Easton, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06022029RecruitingPhase 1
Study of injected ONM-501 alone or with cemiplimab for advanced cancers
This trial tests an injected study drug (ONM-501) alone or with another drug (cemiplimab) for people with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas that haven't responded to other treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the combination helps shrink or control the cancer.

What taking part in a metastatic uveal 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.

Common questions
- Are there metastatic uveal melanoma clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 13 recruiting metastatic uveal melanoma studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a metastatic uveal melanoma study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a metastatic uveal melanoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
