First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether 30 minutes of moderate exercise (like walking or cycling) right before standard immunotherapy can improve treatment for certain skin cancers (melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma). About 22 adults will exercise before each immunotherapy dose. The main goals are to see if people can stick with the exercise routine and whether it changes tumor markers or delays cancer return.
