Recruiting studies
- NCT06428409RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A study of MK-2870 for several gastrointestinal cancers
This trial is testing a new drug called MK-2870, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced colorectal, pancreatic, or bile duct cancer. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink or control the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07362459RecruitingPhase 3
Study of SCTB14 for untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, SCTB14, as a first treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a high level of PD-L1. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for people who haven't had other treatments for their cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07383441RecruitingPhase 3
Adding Biotherapy or Placebo to Standard Kidney Cancer Treatment
This trial tests whether adding a biotherapy (a special drug from a living source) or a placebo to standard treatments helps people with advanced kidney cancer. It may be a good option if your cancer hasn't been treated yet and you are in fairly good health.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07394062Recruiting
Comparing chemo-immunotherapy combinations for advanced lung cancer
This study compares two standard treatments for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer when the tumor has low levels of a protein called PD-L1. It looks at how well chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab works versus chemotherapy plus nivolumab and ipilimumab.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT01174121RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy made from your tumor-fighting immune cells
This trial tests a treatment made from your own immune cells (called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or TILs) for certain metastatic cancers. It’s designed for people whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments and who can safely provide a small tumor sample for cell-making.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT03219450RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized vaccine for early-stage, treatment-free CLL
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized cancer vaccine made from each patient’s CLL (“neoantigens”) plus a medicine called poly-ICLC to help the immune system learn to recognize the cancer. It is designed for people who have CLL but are currently not needing treatment, to see if it’s safe and may help keep the disease under control.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02925234RecruitingPhase 2
Basket trial of reused cancer drugs matched to tumor markers
This trial tests cancer drugs that are already approved for other cancers, chosen based on specific changes found in your tumor. It may help people whose cancer is growing despite standard treatment (or who no longer have standard options).
AlkmaarAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT02600949Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Peptide vaccine study for advanced pancreatic or colon cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized vaccine made from a patient’s tumor to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer. It is for people with advanced pancreatic or colorectal cancer (often after surgery or while metastatic) and aims to see if the approach is safe and can help immune control of the cancer.
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.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT07455019RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, and chemo for limited spread esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (bemosubaymab), a targeted therapy (anlotinib), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy for patients with esophageal cancer that has spread to a limited number of spots (no more than 5). The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07485296RecruitingPhase 2
Postbiotics with pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding postbiotics (beneficial bacteria byproducts) to the standard immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can improve your immune system's response against advanced or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Rozzano, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT05098132RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
STK-012 drug for advanced lung cancer and other tumors
This trial tests STK-012 (alone and with other treatments) in people with advanced cancers, especially non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by activating the immune system to recognize and fight the tumor.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07603856RecruitingPhase 2
Combining Immunotherapy and Radiation for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study tests whether adding focused radiation therapy to immunotherapy can help patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has progressed despite prior immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than immunotherapy alone.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+
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.
