First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study is enrolling 30 people with a common skin cancer called cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma who are about to start treatment with the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab. Researchers will use advanced lab techniques to analyze immune cells and molecules in participants' blood and tumor samples. The goal is to find biological markers that can tell doctors ahead of time who is likely to respond well to the drug and who might develop serious side effects.
