-
Removing only the main affected lymph node versus standard full lymph node removal for stage III melanoma
This trial tests whether removing just the largest affected lymph node after six weeks of pre-surgery immunotherapy works as well as removing all lymph nodes in the area for people with stage III cutaneous melanoma in preventing recurrence over two years.
-
Neoadjuvant ipilimumab, relatlimab, and nivolumab combinations for resectable cutaneous and mucosal melanoma
This phase 2 trial will test several immunotherapy combinations given before surgery to try to reduce recurrence in adults with resectable stage 3 cutaneous melanoma or resectable mucosal melanoma, including patients predicted or known to respond poorly to standard anti‑PD‑1 therapy.
-
Combining targeted radiotherapy with immunotherapy for advanced melanoma
This study is testing if combining targeted radiotherapy with immunotherapy can help people with advanced melanoma live better and longer compared to just using immunotherapy alone.
-
Personalized immunotherapy platform for cancer treatment
This study is testing a new way to identify melanoma and skin cancer patients who might not respond well to immunotherapy by analyzing their tumor samples.
-
Neoadjuvant therapy using Nivolumab and Relatlimab for skin cancer
This study is testing a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs, Nivolumab and Relatlimab, to see if they can help people with advanced skin cancer do better before surgery.
-
Neoadjuvant immunotherapy for Merkel cell carcinoma
This study is testing a combination of two immune treatments to see if they can help people with a type of skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma have better outcomes before surgery.
-
Combining immunotherapy and radiotherapy for melanoma brain metastases
This study is testing if combining two immune therapies with targeted radiation can help people with melanoma that has spread to the brain feel better and live longer.
