NCT ID NCT07562841

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

Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether injecting gold nanoparticles into tumors, followed by radiation and an immunotherapy drug, is safe for people with advanced melanoma. Only 6 participants will be enrolled. The goal is to check for side effects, not to see if the treatment works.
