Recruiting studies
- NCT06097975RecruitingPhase 1

Bladder-sparing chemo-radiation plus immunotherapy for bladder cancer
This study tests whether adding immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab alone or nivolumab plus ipilimumab) to standard chemo-radiation can control muscle-invasive bladder cancer while helping people keep their bladder. It aims to find a safer, effective curative treatment for people who want to avoid bladder removal (cystectomy).
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06999980RecruitingPhase 2
NEOadjuvant Ipi Nivo Rela for Melanoma
This trial tests a combination of three immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab, relatlimab, and nivolumab) given before surgery to people with melanoma that can be completely removed. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Wollstonecraft, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05817903RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab with or without axitinib after prior nivolumab
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding axitinib to nivolumab (or giving nivolumab alone) can better control advanced clear-cell kidney cancer after standard initial treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab. It may help by extending response or slowing tumor growth while improving how long treatment works.
BresciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06624475RecruitingPhase 2
New immunotherapy before surgery for high-risk basal cell cancer
This trial tests if giving a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) before surgery works better than one drug alone for people with large or high-risk basal cell skin cancer that needs surgery. The goal is to shrink the cancer and make surgery easier.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06708949RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy combo for advanced kidney cancer
This trial compares two immunotherapy combinations—nivolumab/relatlimab/ipilimumab vs. nivolumab/ipilimumab—as first treatment for advanced kidney cancer with clear cell features. It aims to see which combo works better for people who haven't had prior therapy.

Viral therapy and nivolumab for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a combination of an investigational viral therapy (VO) and the immunotherapy nivolumab for people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to previous anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 treatments. The goal is to see if this combination works better than other standard treatments your doctor might choose.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 12 years+ - NCT04204837RecruitingPhase 2

GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06112314RecruitingPhase 3
New immunotherapy combo for advanced melanoma (first treatment)
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (IMC-F106C) combined with standard treatments against the usual nivolumab-based therapy for people with advanced melanoma who have not been treated before. It's for people who carry a specific immune system marker (HLA-A*02:01) and are in fairly good health.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06871007Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Nivolumab with chemo for pediatric large B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests adding nivolumab (an immunotherapy drug) to a standard chemotherapy regimen for children with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. It may help improve outcomes for newly diagnosed patients.
MoscowAges Up to 18 years - NCT04295863RecruitingPhase 1
Test different dosing schedules for two immunotherapy drugs
This early trial compares how often two immune system medicines—nivolumab and pembrolizumab—are given for advanced or metastatic cancers. It aims to see which dosing interval is workable and safe for people needing treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05317000RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new treatment plan for HPV throat cancer before surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether 5-azacytidine and nivolumab (alone and/or together) can work well and be tolerated in people with HPV-related throat cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to help shrink or control the cancer before resection and learn more from added tumor samples.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05704647RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus relatlimab for melanoma in the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab plus relatlimab can shrink or control melanoma that has spread to the brain. It may help by boosting the immune system to attack the cancer, including melanoma in brain areas that can’t be treated with prior focused radiation.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07210632RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nivolumab dye imaging in high grade glioma surgery
This trial tests if a special dye attached to the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can help surgeons see tumor cells during surgery for high grade glioma. You may join if you are scheduled for surgery and your organs are working well.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07542262Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Low-dose immunotherapy for advanced colorectal and stomach cancer
This study tests a lower dose of immunotherapy in patients with colorectal or stomach cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. The cancer must have a specific genetic feature (MSI/dMMR). The goal is to see if this approach works well with fewer side effects.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06931613Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FOR HODGKIN LYMPHOMA AFTER NIVOLUMAB
This trial tests a stem cell transplant using your own cells for children and teens with Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or not gotten better after multiple treatments. It involves using a medicine called nivolumab before the transplant to help your body fight the cancer.

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).
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
