New combo therapy for tough melanoma shows promise but trial halted early

NCT ID NCT04688658

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

Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs—duvelisib (a pill) and nivolumab (an IV infusion)—in 13 people with advanced melanoma that had stopped responding to standard immunotherapy. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the combination could shrink tumors or slow the disease. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited.
