New pill tested as last hope for Tough-to-Treat skin cancer
NCT ID NCT02581930
Summary
This study is testing whether a pill called ibrutinib can help control advanced skin melanoma that has continued to grow despite standard immunotherapies and other targeted drugs. It involves 18 patients with stage IV melanoma who take the pill daily. The main goal is to see if the tumor shrinks and to understand how the drug works and why resistance might develop.
