Recruiting studies
- NCT06522919RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a sequence of treatments for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (called pMMR or MSS) that has not responded to earlier therapies. Patients first receive an immunotherapy combination (pembrolizumab plus a personalized dendritic cell vaccine) followed by a chemotherapy pill (trifluridine/tipiracil) plus bevacizumab. The goal is to see if this sequence can help control the cancer.

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.

It includes people with early-stage HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who had no cancer cells left in the tissue removed at surgery (a pathological complete response).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07404332RecruitingPhase 1
Combination therapy for tumors resistant to immunotherapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (5-Azacitidine and a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor) for people whose solid tumors stopped responding to standard PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy alone. The goal is to see if this new combination can help shrink the tumor or slow its growth.

Study how early breast cancer responds on imaging and under a microscope
This Phase 2 study looks at how well early breast cancer shrinks with treatment and how that matches with what doctors find after surgery under the microscope. The goal is to learn better ways to predict and assess treatment success.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07360743RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy alone for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests whether using immunotherapy drugs (pembrolizumab or cemiplimab) alone, without chemotherapy, can treat advanced lung cancer in people with high PD-L1 levels. It is for people who have not yet received any treatment for their advanced cancer.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07343596Recruiting
Immunotherapy before surgery for oral cavity cancer
This study tests whether giving an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab before surgery can help treat oral cavity cancer. The researchers will look for biomarkers (clues in your tumor) that may predict how well the treatment works.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07341867RecruitingPhase 1
Dose changes for cancer treatment in people with Duffy null
This trial tests if changing the dose of certain chemotherapy drugs can help people with a genetic trait called Duffy null avoid side effects like low white blood cell counts. It is for people with multiple myeloma or triple-negative breast cancer starting specific treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07327229RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ATG-022 plus pembrolizumab for stomach or GEJ cancer
This trial tests a new drug combo (ATG-022 plus pembrolizumab, with or without chemo) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has a specific protein (CLDN 18.2) and is HER2-negative and PD-L1-positive. It may be an option if you have not had certain prior treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Pembrolizumab?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 603 recruiting studies that include Pembrolizumab, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Pembrolizumab trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 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.
- Is Pembrolizumab an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Pembrolizumab or a specific trial is right for you.
