Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06422806RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo for aggressive sarcoma
This trial compares a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy (doxorubicin) versus chemotherapy alone for people with aggressive, poorly differentiated sarcomas that have spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps shrink tumors or slow their growth better than chemotherapy alone.

Testing a new drug for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This phase 3 trial tests a new drug, mocertatug rezetecan, against standard treatments for ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemo. It's for people who have had 1 to 4 prior therapies and may offer a new option if you haven't tried all standard treatments yet.
Randwick, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - 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.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03563729RecruitingPhase 2
Melanoma in the brain: steroids plus targeted therapy
This Phase 2 trial studies how giving steroid medicine for brain swelling may help people with melanoma that has spread to the brain, and whether adding a targeted approach works for a specific genetic tumor type. It may help shrink brain tumors and improve symptoms, while comparing how patients respond.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Pembrolizumab?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 615 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.
