Scientists hunt for Cancer's 'Achilles Heel' to target with immune drugs

NCT ID NCT04957615

Summary

This study aims to learn if two specific markers found in tumor tissue can help doctors predict which patients with advanced solid cancers will benefit most from immunotherapy. Sixteen patients with specific genetic mutations in their tumors will receive the immunotherapy drug nivolumab. Researchers will track how well patients respond and look for patterns between the tumor markers and treatment outcomes.
