This trial studies how well two medicines—axitinib and nivolumab—work for people with advanced melanoma that starts in moist “mucosal” areas (like the mouth, nose, throat, or bowel). It may help shrink tumors and control the disease by boosting the immune system and targeting tumor growth.
Harrison, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06288191RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab and relatlimab before surgery for skin cancer
This trial tests if two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and relatlimab, given before surgery can help shrink a type of skin cancer called cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. It's for people whose cancer can be removed with surgery.

Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 12 years+ - NCT06203600RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nivolumab plus standard treatment for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug nivolumab to standard treatment works better for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has already progressed after a first round of chemo plus immunotherapy.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07213557RecruitingPhase 2
Simvastatin with immunotherapy for ARID1A-mutated stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding the cholesterol drug simvastatin to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy can help people with a specific type of gastroesophageal cancer (ARID1A mutated, HER2 negative). It is for patients who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Naples, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05749900RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
First-line antibody, chemo, and immunotherapy for HER2 bile duct cancer
This trial studies a combination of trastuzumab (an antibody), gemcitabine and cisplatin (chemo), plus nivolumab (immunotherapy) as the first treatment for advanced HER2-positive biliary tract cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes by targeting HER2 and boosting the immune system.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07527858RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Denikitug with immunotherapy or chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called denikitug, given alone or combined with other cancer treatments, for patients with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to previous treatments. The goal is to help people whose cancer has a specific genetic profile (MSS) that doesn't respond well to standard immunotherapy alone.
North Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04910347RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab after chemoradiation for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests nivolumab (an immune system–boosting antibody) given after standard chemoradiation to help keep advanced nasopharyngeal cancer from coming back or progressing. It may help your immune system better find and attack cancer cells after treatment.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05909618RecruitingPhase 2
Crizanlizumab with nivolumab for brain-spread melanoma or glioblastoma
This Phase 2 study tests crizanlizumab alone or with nivolumab to treat people with certain brain tumors that have spread to the brain (melanoma) or glioblastoma. The goal is to see whether this approach can control the disease and improve outcomes.
Ramat Gan, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT05187429RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Low-dose nivolumab for adults with HIV on stable therapy
This trial tests whether a low dose of nivolumab can safely affect the immune system in adults living with HIV who are already on stable HIV treatment. You may benefit by helping researchers understand a new approach, but the main goal is to check safety and early effectiveness.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18–65 - NCT06561087RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab injection for high-risk mouth lesions
This trial tests whether injecting nivolumab directly into high-risk pre-cancerous mouth spots can prevent them from becoming cancer. You randomly receive either the drug or a placebo, and the study monitors how the spots change over time.
