NCT ID NCT03595683

Summary

This study tested whether taking an oral pill containing specific gut bacteria (EDP1503) could improve the effectiveness of a standard immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) for people with advanced melanoma. It involved two groups: patients new to this type of immunotherapy and those whose cancer had stopped responding to it. The trial was terminated early after enrolling only 8 participants.
