Combining immunotherapy with prednisone and sirolimus for kidney transplant recipients with advanced skin cancer
This study is testing a new treatment that combines two immunotherapy drugs with prednisone and sirolimus to see if it helps kidney transplant recipients with advanced skin cancer while keeping their transplanted kidney safe.
-
Combining lifileucel with pembrolizumab for advanced melanoma treatment
This study is testing if combining a new treatment called lifileucel with pembrolizumab can help people with advanced melanoma feel better compared to just using pembrolizumab alone.
-
