First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding an experimental drug (GB1211) to a standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) helps shrink tumors better than immunotherapy alone in people with advanced melanoma or head and neck cancer. About 92 adults whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed will receive either the combination or a placebo plus immunotherapy. The goal is to see if blocking a protein called galectin-3 can improve treatment response.
