Trial tests targeted radiation plus immunotherapy after anti–PD-1 failure
This Phase 2 trial studies whether peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (targeted radiation) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) can shrink Merkel cell cancer after it has grown despite anti–PD-1/L1 treatment. It may help people whose cancer has specific receptors that make them eligible for the targeted radiation.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT05656235RecruitingPhase 2
Study of keeping kidneys longer in upper tract bladder cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination treatment can control high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer without removing the kidney and ureter (radical nephroureterectomy). It may help people who must avoid surgery or choose not to have it because of medical risk.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05725200RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment plan for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests an individualized treatment chosen from your tumor’s lab testing (genetic and RNA profile plus a drug-sensitivity test from your tumor cells). It may help by matching you to targeted anti-cancer drugs that are most likely to work for your specific cancer.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05732831RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for tumors with MTAP loss
This Phase 1/2 trial tests TNG462 (with or without pembrolizumab, depending on the plan) in solid tumors that have lost MTAP. The goal is to check safety and learn whether the treatment can help people with these specific tumor changes.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05746897RecruitingPhase 1
First-in-human test of an anti-PVRIG drug for advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests NM1F (an anti-PVRIG antibody) in people with advanced solid tumors to see if it’s safe and whether it may work. It also includes pembrolizumab (a PD-1 “checkpoint” medicine), aiming to boost the immune system against the cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05789082RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Divarasib for untreated lung cancer with KRAS G12C
This trial studies divarasib to see if it is safe and can shrink or control advanced lung cancer. Participants must have a KRAS G12C mutation and have not had prior treatment for their advanced disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05856981RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ADU-1805 for advanced solid tumors safety
This early study tests whether ADU-1805 is safe in people with advanced solid tumors and checks how the body processes the drug. Depending on your cancer type, it may also be looking specifically at certain cancers that have not yet received PD-(L)1 immunotherapy.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05877859Recruiting
Testing pembrolizumab with chemo before breast cancer surgery
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to standard chemotherapy before surgery improves immune and clinical responses in people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. You may benefit by getting a potentially more effective treatment plan, while the study team closely monitors your response.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05879653RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab, drug EV, and radiation for bladder cancer
This Phase 2 study tests how well pembrolizumab and an antibody-drug medicine (EV) given with bladder radiation work for non-metastatic bladder cancer that is mostly urothelial. It may help some people control the cancer without it spreading to other organs.
Kobe, HyōgoAges 18 years+ - NCT05886439RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug plus PD-1 or PD-L1 for lung cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a new treatment called LK101 combined with a PD-1 or PD-L1 antibody for advanced lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the disease, especially after prior anti–PD-1/PD-L1 treatment has stopped working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05899608RecruitingPhase 3
Testing ivonescimab as first treatment for metastatic lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests ivonescimab as a first-line treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It may help people by improving how well the cancer responds, especially in tumors with PD-L1 activity, but you must meet specific medical and testing requirements.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05916755Recruiting
Testing tumor clues that predict response to immunotherapy
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or tumor clues, that may help predict who benefits from checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer. It may help doctors choose the right treatment approach in the future, especially when chemotherapy is planned.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05954312RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an experimental drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests VVD-130037, a new experimental medicine, to see if it is safe and tolerable in people with advanced (metastatic or unresectable) solid cancers. If you have already tried standard treatments and your body can handle study medication, you may be eligible—especially for certain lung, head and neck, or esophageal cancer types with specific genetic changes.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05970497RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
KB707 trial for advanced solid tumors after other treatments
This early-stage trial tests KB707 in people with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded well to standard treatments. If you qualify, you may receive KB707 to see how well it can shrink tumors or control the disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06006650RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant therapy for stage II-IVA esophageal cancer
This trial tests a treatment given before surgery for patients with a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, stages II to IVA. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06031233RecruitingPhase 4
Shorter infusion times for cancer immunotherapy drugs
This trial tests if giving common immunotherapy drugs over a shorter time is safe. It may mean less time in the clinic for you.
ZwolleAges 18 years+ - NCT06036745RecruitingPhase 2
Palizumab and SOX chemo after gastric cancer surgery
This trial tests adding palizumab (an immunotherapy) to standard SOX chemotherapy after surgery for stage IIIB-IIIC gastric or GEJ cancer. It's for people whose tumors have certain markers (MSI-H, TMB-H, or high PD-L1) that may make immunotherapy more effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06100497RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 plus chemo for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (PD-1) and chemotherapy for people with advanced head and neck cancers that are poorly differentiated. The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink tumors before possible surgery or radiation.

- 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.
