Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT05377905RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

This early-phase study tests whether delivering chemotherapy through tiny skin needles (microneedles) can shrink or control cutaneous squamous cell cancer (cSCC) that can be surgically treated. Because it’s Phase 1/2, the main goals are to check safety and find the best way to deliver the treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05794035Recruiting
Shorter radiation after skin cancer surgery for older adults
This study looks at whether giving a shorter course of radiation after surgery can help prevent skin cancer from coming back in people age 70 and older. It focuses on higher-risk skin cancers and checks how well the treatment works and what side effects occur.
CréteilAges 70 years+ - NCT06483477Recruiting
Skin reactions during radiation for breast cancer
This study looks at skin reactions (dermatitis) during radiation therapy for breast cancer. It uses a smartphone app to track symptoms and may help improve care during treatment.
Vejle, Southern DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT03922893Recruiting
Finding inherited cancer gene markers in at-risk families
This study looks at DNA (genetic information) from people and families who may have an inherited risk for cancer. It aims to find new genetic markers that can help explain cancer risk and guide future care.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - 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 - NCT04113122Recruiting
Study of early aging after chemotherapy in young testicular cancer patients
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect “early aging” in people who had metastatic testicular cancer before age 50. It includes people who are starting cisplatin-based chemotherapy and a comparison group with earlier-stage disease.
GroningenAges 18–50 - NCT04428671RecruitingPhase 1
Cemiplimab before and after surgery for high-risk skin cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests the drug cemiplimab given before and after surgery to reduce the chance that high-risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer comes back. You may be a candidate if your cancer is high-risk on pathology or imaging and is planned for surgical removal.

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.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06605443Recruiting
Precision medicine for large/giant congenital nevus and melanoma
This trial uses a precision medicine approach for people with melanoma. It studies how volatile organic compounds (substances your body releases) might help guide treatment for stage II, III, or IV melanoma.
BarcelonaAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06664151RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Flu vaccine injected into skin cancer before surgery
This study tests whether injecting the seasonal flu vaccine directly into a skin cancer tumor can help the immune system attack it. You would receive the injection before your scheduled surgery to remove the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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+ - NCT07011810RecruitingPhase 2
Testing axatilimab for sclerotic chronic graft-versus-host disease
This trial tests a drug called axatilimab for people who have a tough-to-treat form of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), where the skin becomes hard and tight (sclerosis). The goal is to see if axatilimab can help improve these skin changes.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07112690Recruiting
Nerve block for radiation pain during anal cancer treatment
This study tests a nerve block procedure (ganglion impar neurolysis) to reduce severe pain caused by radiation therapy for anal or perianal skin cancer. It may help you manage pain while you continue your cancer treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06976073Recruiting
Skin imaging study using non-invasive scan
This trial uses a special camera to measure the composition and structure of the skin without any needles or cuts. It helps researchers understand how skin varies between people.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07510061Recruiting
How your body handles mild heat
This study looks at how your body responds to mild heat depending on where you live and your specific traits. If you are a healthy adult in Denmark or Greece, you may be able to help researchers understand differences in heat resilience.
CopenhagenAges 18–65 - NCT06784778Recruiting
Testing a blood test to predict immunotherapy response
This study is testing a new blood test called IOpener®-Melanoma to see if it can predict which patients with advanced melanoma will respond well to immunotherapy. The goal is to better match treatments to people who will benefit most.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07311057Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Methylene Blue for Skin Cancer Not Removable by Surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for skin cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 183 recruiting skin cancer 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 skin cancer 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 skin cancer 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.
