First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether adding the drug epacadostat to the approved immunotherapy ipilimumab could help people with advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The study planned to enroll 50 adults aged 18 and older. However, the study was stopped early for business reasons, so only the first phase (checking safety) was completed. No conclusions can be drawn about how well the combination works.
