- 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.

Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06031233RecruitingPhase 4
Shorter infusion times for cancer immunotherapy drugs
This trial tests if giving common immunotherapy drugs over a shorter time is safe. It may mean less time in the clinic for you.
ZwolleAges 18 years+ - NCT06029270RecruitingPhase 2
Adding relatlimab to standard immunotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called relatlimab to the usual immunotherapy (nivolumab) helps people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread. You will get standard chemotherapy plus nivolumab first, then if it works, you may be randomly assigned to get nivolumab alone or with relatlimab.
Dublin, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05987241RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using a blood test to guide immunotherapy after bladder/kidney cancer surgery
This study tests whether a blood test that detects tumor DNA can help guide the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab with or without relatlimab) after surgery for urothelial cancer. The goal is to see if starting immunotherapy based on the blood test results can prevent the cancer from coming back.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05919264RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
FOG-001 for advanced solid tumors with certain gene changes
This trial tests a new drug, FOG-001, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific changes in the WNT pathway genes. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 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+ - NCT05845450RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery targeted drugs for selected colorectal cancer tumors
This trial tests targeted cancer drugs given before planned colon or rectal surgery. It may help by trying to shrink the tumor and treat specific tumor “targets” found in your stored pathology sample, depending on your tumor’s genetics and marker tests.
Milan, Lombardia/MIAges 18 years+ - NCT05733689RecruitingPhase 1
Testing new pre-surgery treatment for stomach and esophagus cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests how well a tailored (response-adapted) chemotherapy plan works before surgery for stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to improve treatment planning while checking early safety.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05745233Enrolling by invitation
Testing immune therapy put into the belly for cancer fluid
This trial studies whether an immune-blocking drug placed directly into the belly cavity can help people with cancer-caused fluid buildup (malignant ascites) from stomach, pancreas, or bile-duct cancers. It may help shrink the fluid and slow the illness, but you must meet specific safety and treatment-history requirements.
Taichung, Please SelectAges 20 years+ - NCT05681780RecruitingPhase 1
CD40L-treated immune cells for advanced lung cancer with certain gene changes
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (TIL) boosted with CD40L, plus nivolumab, for stage IV or returning non-small cell lung cancer with specific gene changes (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, or HER2). It aims to help your immune system attack the cancer after it has grown despite standard treatments.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05647265RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for sarcomatoid pleural mesothelioma
This trial tests adding immunotherapy before surgery to help patients with sarcomatoid pleural mesothelioma. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer and make surgery possible, while checking safety.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT05584670RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This is an early (Phase 1/2) study of SAR445877, a new drug, in adults with advanced or metastatic solid cancers. It aims to find the safest dose and learn whether it can shrink tumors or help control disease when standard treatments aren’t available or no longer work.
Newark, DelawareAges 18 years+ - NCT05533697RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
mRNA medicine with or without immunotherapy for advanced solid cancers

TRK-950 for advanced solid tumors that standard treatment can’t control
This trial tests TRK-950 in people with advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) solid tumors when standard treatments have stopped working or aren’t available. It may help by trying a new treatment approach when current options are limited.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 18 years+ - NCT05428007RecruitingPhase 2
Sarilumab with three immunotherapy drugs for advanced melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding sarilumab (an immune-blocking medicine) to three immunotherapy medicines can shrink unresectable, advanced melanoma that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to improve how well the immune system controls the cancer, especially in Stage III or Stage IV disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT04966663RecruitingPhase 2
Using blood DNA tests to guide lung cancer treatment
This study uses a blood test called ctDNA to look for leftover lung cancer after surgery. Based on that result, the trial will help decide which treatment approach is best for you and may catch cancer returning earlier.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05317858RecruitingPhase 3
Open the brain’s blood barrier to treat lung cancer brain spots
This trial tests whether using focused ultrasound to temporarily open the brain’s blood barrier—plus standard immune therapy—can better treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. It aims to help medicines reach the brain tumor spots more effectively, while still using the usual lung cancer treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT05327686RecruitingPhase 2
