Recruiting studies
- NCT06284590RecruitingPhase 2
Study of immune therapy injections for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether injecting immune-boosting drugs directly into melanoma tumors, alongside the immunotherapy pembrolizumab, can help people whose cancer has not responded to previous immunotherapy. It aims to shrink tumors and improve treatment outcomes.

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06264180RecruitingPhase 3
Viral therapy and nivolumab for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a combination of an investigational viral therapy (VO) and the immunotherapy nivolumab for people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to previous anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 treatments. The goal is to see if this combination works better than other standard treatments your doctor might choose.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 12 years+ - NCT06270706RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors after immunotherapy

This trial tests a tiny device placed into bladder tumors before surgery to see which drugs might work best for each patient, helping guide future treatment choices.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - NCT06162221RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of RAS inhibitors for advanced RAS-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests new drugs that target specific RAS mutations in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people whose cancer has a KRAS G12C, G12D, or other RAS mutation and who have already tried standard treatments.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06137144RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AZD3470 for lymphoma that has come back or not responded
This study tests an experimental drug called AZD3470 for people with certain types of blood cancer (lymphoma) that have come back or not responded to standard treatments. The drug will be given alone or with other cancer medicines to see if it is safe and effective.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06134375RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TM plus capecitabine for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a drug called tetrathiomolybdate (TM) combined with capecitabine for people with triple-negative breast cancer who still have cancer cells after standard chemotherapy and surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT06132698RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy injected into spinal fluid for lung cancer that has spread to the brain lining
This trial tests giving an immunotherapy drug directly into the spinal fluid for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer while allowing you to continue other treatments you may already be taking.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06005818RecruitingPhase 2
MRD-guided therapy for kidney cancer after surgery
This trial tests whether personalized monitoring of cancer DNA in your blood (MRD) can guide treatment decisions after kidney cancer surgery. If MRD is detected, you may receive extra immunotherapy to reduce the risk of cancer returning.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06096844RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy vs. immunotherapy alone for older adults with lung cancer
This study compares getting both chemotherapy and immunotherapy versus immunotherapy alone for older adults with advanced lung cancer. The goal is to see which approach is more effective and tolerable for people aged 70 and older.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 70 years+ - NCT04513028Recruiting

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.
