Study of immunotherapy for relapsed chest lymphoma
This study looks at how well two immunotherapy medicines—pembrolizumab alone or nivolumab combined with brentuximab vedotin—work for people with a type of lymphoma in the chest that has come back or not responded to treatment. It uses real-world data from patients who received these treatments outside of a clinical trial.

Testing first-line antibody plus immunotherapy for mediastinal lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of antibody therapy and immunotherapy (plus standard chemo) as first treatment for primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. It may help shrink the lymphoma and improve how long patients stay in remission.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04150640RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo drug combination for advanced stomach or esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of chemo drugs (oxaliplatin and liposomal irinotecan) plus trastuzumab works better for people with advanced stomach or esophagus adenocarcinoma that has specific tumor markers (HER2 and PDL1). It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the cancer in people who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04495296RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TST001 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests TST001, and sometimes a combination with other cancer medicines, to see how safe it is and how well it may work in advanced or metastatic solid tumors. You might be eligible if you have certain tumor types and lab/health requirements, and if your tumor tissue shows specific marker results (depending on the study part).
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06823479RecruitingPhase 2
Ultra-short immunotherapy before surgery for skin cancer
This trial tests a very short course of immunotherapy (nivolumab) before standard surgery for patients with certain types of advanced or hard-to-treat skin cancer (cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma). The goal is to see if this approach can reduce the need for extensive or disfiguring surgery.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06204614Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Drug screening for bladder cancer before surgery
This trial tests a tiny device placed into bladder tumors before surgery to see which drugs might work best for each patient, helping guide future treatment choices.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - NCT07147101Recruiting
Immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer: a study on effectiveness and immune response
This study looks at different first-line immunotherapy treatments for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or local therapies. It aims to understand how well these treatments work and how they affect the body's immune system.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06745076RecruitingPhase 2
Using a blood test to safely lower chemo for advanced Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial studies whether a blood test (ctDNA) can help doctors safely reduce chemotherapy for people with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma. If you have stage 3 or 4 Hodgkin lymphoma that hasn't been treated yet and are healthy enough for strong chemo, this study may be an option for you.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nivolumab?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 280 recruiting nivolumab 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 nivolumab 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 nivolumab 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.
