NCT ID NCT07574047

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether giving immunotherapy infusions in the morning improves outcomes for people with advanced melanoma. Researchers will compare morning versus afternoon/evening dosing in 108 participants. The goal is to see if aligning treatment with the body's natural immune rhythms can help patients live longer without their cancer growing.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, ipilimumab)

What this could lead to

If timing matters, this could lead to a simple change in when immunotherapy is given, potentially improving survival without new drugs.

This is a small, early-phase trial (108 people) testing a timing hypothesis, not a new treatment. Results may not confirm benefit or apply to all patients.
