New combo therapy aims to tackle melanoma that resists treatment
NCT ID NCT06906822
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, can shrink tumors in people with advanced melanoma that has worsened after standard therapy. The study will enroll 60 adults with unresectable stage III or IV melanoma. Researchers hope that targeting a protein called Nectin4 on melanoma cells may provide a new way to control the disease.
