This Phase 3 trial tests whether a genetically modified herpes virus (vusolimogene oderparepvec) combined with the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can help people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to prior treatments. About 400 participants will receive either the v…

This phase 2 trial tests a new treatment called LM103 TILs, made from a patient's own immune cells, for advanced melanoma that hasn't responded to standard therapies. About 92 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either the TIL therapy or standard care. The study aims to s…

This study tests whether adding a fecal microbiota transplant called LND101 to standard immunotherapy can help stop advanced melanoma from growing or spreading. About 128 people with stage IV or unresectable melanoma will receive either immunotherapy alone or immunotherapy plus L…

This study tests whether adding an experimental drug (EIK1001) to standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) helps people with advanced melanoma live longer without their cancer growing. About 740 adults with stage 3 or 4 melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery will receive either…

This early-stage trial tests whether injecting gold nanoparticles into tumors, followed by radiation and an immunotherapy drug, is safe for people with advanced melanoma. Only 6 participants will be enrolled. The goal is to check for side effects, not to see if the treatment work…

This study tests whether a simple blood test that looks for tumor DNA (ctDNA) can help doctors decide when to add a third immunotherapy drug (ipilimumab) to a two-drug combination (nivolumab and relatlimab) for people with advanced melanoma. About 90 adults with metastatic or adv…

This study tests whether adding a personalized mRNA vaccine (V940) to standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) can stop advanced melanoma from growing or spreading. About 160 people with stage III or IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery will receive either the vaccine plus…

This phase 2 trial tests the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) given before and after surgery for people with stage III or IV melanoma. The goal is to see if tailoring treatment based on tumor biomarkers leads to better outcomes. About 90 participants will be enrolled at a si…

This study tests whether adding an experimental drug (IMC-F106C) to standard immunotherapy (nivolumab) works better than standard treatment alone for people with advanced melanoma. About 680 adults with a specific genetic marker (HLA-A*02:01) and previously untreated advanced mel…

This study tests a new drug, tebentafusp, alone or with pembrolizumab, in people with a specific genetic type (HLA-A*02:01) of advanced melanoma that has been treated before. The main goal is to see if these treatments help people live longer compared to other available options. …

This early-stage trial is testing a treatment called X-PACT for people with advanced head and neck cancer, breast cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, or melanoma that has not responded to standard treatments. X-PACT involves injecting a drug called methoxsalen directly into the tumor an…

This study tests a new drug, T3011, in 42 people with advanced melanoma that has spread. The main goals are to check safety and see if tumors shrink. Participants must have measurable tumors and be in good overall health.

This Phase 2 trial tests a new treatment called GC101 TIL for people with advanced melanoma that has not responded to standard therapies. The treatment uses immune cells taken from the patient's own tumor, grown in a lab, and then given back to fight the cancer. About 98 particip…

This early-phase trial tests a therapy made from a patient's own tumor-fighting immune cells (TILs) for advanced melanoma. Doctors take TILs from a tumor sample, grow them in the lab, and infuse them back after a short chemotherapy course. The study aims to see if this approach i…

This phase 2 study tests whether combining two drugs—axitinib (a targeted therapy) and ipilimumab (an immunotherapy)—can shrink tumors in people with advanced melanoma that has stopped responding to standard treatment. The trial plans to enroll 25 participants. Researchers will m…
