Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06753136Recruiting
Electrochemotherapy for internal organ tumors
This trial tests a treatment called electrochemotherapy for tumors in internal organs (like the liver or pancreas) when standard treatments are no longer possible. It uses a drug called bleomycin plus electric pulses to target cancer cells.
PadovaAges 18–99 - NCT05620290RecruitingPhase 1
MR-guided ultrasound plus radiation to help skin cancer respond
This Phase 1 study tests a new way to make radiation work better using MRI-guided focused ultrasound. It focuses on improving treatment for malignant melanoma and other skin cancers, while checking safety and how patients experience treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07830394Recruiting
Mobile app for sun protection habits
This study tests a mobile app designed to help people protect their skin from the sun. It may be helpful if you've had sunburns recently or don't always use sunscreen and other sun safety measures.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–29 - NCT07830225Recruiting
Using a blood test to guide how long immunotherapy continues for advanced melanoma
This study looks at using a blood test that detects tiny pieces of cancer DNA (called ctDNA) to help decide how long patients with advanced melanoma should stay on immunotherapy. It may help some patients safely stop treatment earlier if the blood test shows the cancer is under control.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18–90 - NCT07746258Recruiting
Checking if skin cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes
This study uses a test to see if a type of skin cancer called high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to learn more about how to detect spread early, which could help guide treatment decisions.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07691255Recruiting
Melanoma Brain Tumors Treated with CyberKnife
This trial tests CyberKnife, a precise radiation treatment, for melanoma that has spread to the brain. It may help you if you haven't had whole-brain radiation or brain surgery before.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07680452Recruiting
High-fiber diet and short-term fasting for melanoma patients on immunotherapy
This trial tests if a high-fiber diet and occasional short-term fasting can help melanoma patients respond better to immunotherapy. It aims to improve treatment outcomes by changing gut health.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18 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.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07586891Recruiting
Low-Branched-Chain Amino Acid Diet With Immunotherapy for Stage III Melanoma
This trial tests whether a special diet low in certain amino acids (building blocks of protein), combined with an immune-boosting antibody drug, can safely shrink stage III melanoma that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
Xi'anAges 18–75 - NCT07586904RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New Immunotherapy Combination for Advanced Melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (cadonilimab and interferon) given before surgery to treat advanced melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes or one distant site. The goal is to shrink tumors and improve chances of successful surgery and long-term survival.
Xi'anAges 18–75 - NCT07584291Recruiting
Blood Tests and Tissue Study for Melanoma
This research study analyzes blood and tissue samples from melanoma patients to identify biological markers that could help doctors better understand and treat the disease. Researchers will examine archived tissue samples and blood work to develop improved diagnostic tools.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07530887RecruitingPhase 3
Melanoma Re-excision Study: Testing Observation Without Surgery
This study tests whether patients with moderate-thickness skin melanoma need additional surgery after their initial tumor removal, or if careful monitoring alone is enough. The goal is to avoid unnecessary surgery while keeping patients safe.
's-HertogenboschAges Any age - NCT07448831RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab before surgery for high-risk melanoma
This trial tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab before surgery can help people with high-risk melanoma. It is for patients whose melanoma has not spread and who have not had prior treatment for melanoma.
Jette, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT07422779Recruiting
Immunotherapy for advanced melanoma study
This study tests how well immunotherapy drugs like pembrolizumab and nivolumab work for people with advanced melanoma that has spread. It aims to find markers that predict treatment response.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT06608420Recruiting
Precision Medicine Study for Melanoma
This study looks at using precision medicine to better understand and treat melanoma. Patients with a confirmed melanoma diagnosis can join, helping doctors learn more about the disease and improve care.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges Any age - NCT07349303RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab Before Surgery for Stage IIb/c Melanoma
This trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (Keytruda) before surgery helps people with a certain type of advanced melanoma (stage IIb/c). The goal is to see if this treatment can improve outcomes before the tumor is removed.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07288073RecruitingPhase 2
TIL Therapy for Advanced Skin Cancer Patients
This study tests a personalized cell therapy called TIL (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) for people with advanced skin cancers that have not responded to immunotherapy. Doctors take your tumor cells, grow immune cells from them, and then infuse them back to fight the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07277920Recruiting
Skin lesion study using special microscope and genetics
This study looks at skin spots that might be unusual moles or early melanoma using a special microscope that sees deep into the skin. It aims to match these microscope images with genetic information to better understand these spots.
Modena, MoAges 18 years+ - NCT06899789Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of colitis from checkpoint inhibitors
This study follows people who developed colitis (inflammation in the colon) after receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancer. Researchers want to learn about long-term effects and outcomes.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT07257094Recruiting
French questionnaire study for nose reconstruction after skin cancer
This study is testing a new French questionnaire to measure how satisfied people are with their nose reconstruction after skin cancer removal. It will help doctors better understand what matters most to patients after this type of surgery.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT07200544RecruitingPhase 4
Meloxicam for skin cancer surgery pain
This study tests if meloxicam, an anti-inflammatory painkiller, helps control pain after Mohs surgery for skin cancer. It aims to reduce the need for stronger opioid pain medicines.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–110 - NCT07142408RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for skin cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 186 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.
