Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with resectable stage III-IV acral melanoma and measurable lesions.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously received anti-tumor medications or have non-resectable melanoma may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of combining SHR-1210, a monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1, with apatinib, a selective VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, for patients with resectable stage III-IV acral melanoma. The study aims to assess the treatment's impact on tumor response and identify predictive biomarkers for efficacy. Participants will undergo treatment prior to surgical resection, with careful monitoring of their health and tumor characteristics throughout the process.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve outcomes for patients with advanced acral melanoma by enhancing tumor response before surgery.
How similar studies have gone: While data on acral melanoma is limited, similar approaches using PD-1 inhibitors and TKIs have shown promise in other melanoma subtypes.
