Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether adding an experimental drug, IFx-Hu2.0, to the standard immunotherapy pembrolizumab is safe and doable for people with advanced Merkel cell carcinoma that has spread. Nine adults will receive an injection of IFx-Hu2.0 directly into a tumor, followed by pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if this combination can be given without serious side effects and if it is practical to use.
