Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Alliance, OhioAges 19–110 - NCT07241585Recruiting
Vitamin D and light therapy for skin cancer
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D before a special light therapy (photodynamic therapy) can help your body fight nonmelanoma skin cancers like basal or squamous cell cancer. You may join if you are scheduled for surgery to remove a skin tumor.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT07320664Recruiting
Alcohol and Breast Cancer Risk in Young Women
This study looks at how drinking alcohol affects young women's understanding of breast cancer risk. It involves answering questions and possibly wearing a sensor to track drinking.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–25 - 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.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06605404Recruiting
Pan-tumor study of a blood test after cancer surgery
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for leftover cancer cells after surgery. It is for people with different types of solid tumors who are planning to have surgery to cure their cancer. The goal is to see if the test can help guide future treatment decisions.
Maumee, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06223659RecruitingPhase 2
EMLA cream for pain during lymphoscintigraphy for skin cancer
This trial tests whether EMLA cream can reduce pain from injections needed to map lymph nodes for certain skin cancers. If you are scheduled for lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel lymph node biopsy, you may be eligible.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–99 - NCT04122456Recruiting
Study of skin DNA repair in day vs night shift workers
This study compares how well your skin repairs DNA damage in people who mainly work day shifts versus night shifts. It may help researchers understand whether shift work affects skin health and how the skin responds over time.
Fairborn, OhioAges 18–40 - NCT07287917RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug combo for advanced breast cancer or melanoma
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (AMXT 1501, DFMO, and standard therapies) for people with advanced solid tumors, specifically breast cancer (ER+ HER2-) or melanoma that has progressed after other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07042295RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab or Cetuximab for Skin Cancer in People with Weakened Immune Systems
This trial tests two drugs, amivantamab with hyaluronidase or cetuximab, in people with weakened immune systems who have advanced skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma). The goal is to see if these treatments can help shrink or control the cancer.
Avon, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03906253Recruiting
Laser treatment to prevent skin growth in older adults
This trial tests whether a type of laser treatment can help protect older adults’ skin from turning actinic keratosis (a sun-related precancer) into more serious skin problems. It focuses on the forearms and may help reduce future skin damage while checking safety and comfort.
Dayton, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT03860883Recruiting
Comparing wider versus narrower surgery margins for stage II melanoma
This trial studies whether removing a slightly wider strip of skin around a melanoma improves outcomes compared with a narrower strip. It also uses a lymph node staging procedure to check spread and helps doctors fine-tune surgery for stage II melanoma.
Avon, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06428721Recruiting
Can laser treatment prevent skin spots in older adults?
This study tests if a laser treatment on your forearms can prevent precancerous spots (actinic keratoses) from developing in older adults with fair skin. You would receive the laser on one arm and a sham treatment on the other, and your skin will be monitored.
Fairborn, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT06489301Recruiting
Laser treatment for skin rejuvenation during tummy tuck
This study tests a laser treatment to see if it can help rejuvenate skin taken during tummy tuck surgery. If you are having a tummy tuck and meet the requirements, you may be able to join.
Fairborn, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04860453Recruiting
Family genetic testing study for patterns of different cancers
This study checks whether gene tests can help understand cancer risk in families where different relatives had different (discordant) cancers. It may help families and doctors better understand whether hereditary cancer risk is possible, even though some parts use routine standard care as a comparison group.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–100 - NCT07215988Recruiting
Studying insurance for skin cancer treatment
This study looks at how insurance covers immunotherapy given before surgery for certain skin cancers. It includes people with Merkel cell, mucosal melanoma, basal cell, or other rare skin cancers who are planning to have surgery.

What taking part in a skin cancer 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 skin cancer clinical trials in Ohio?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 17 recruiting skin cancer studies with a site in Ohio, 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 skin cancer study in Ohio?
- 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 Ohio to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Ohio, 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 skin cancer 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.
Not the right time?
New skin cancer studies open in Ohio regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
