First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study compares infliximab, a drug used for arthritis, to standard steroids for treating colitis (inflammation of the colon) caused by immunotherapy in people with advanced skin cancer. About 42 participants will receive either infliximab or steroids to see which leads to faster recovery without needing ongoing steroids. The goal is to find a better way to manage this common side effect so patients can continue their cancer treatment.
