Can a mushroom compound supercharge cancer treatment?

NCT ID NCT04513028

Summary

This study is testing whether adding an oral supplement called beta-glucan to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can improve the immune system's response against melanoma. It involves 30 adults with stage III or IV melanoma who have no active disease but are receiving pembrolizumab to prevent recurrence. Researchers will measure changes in immune cells and track whether the combination leads to better cancer control.
