New drug duo aims to shrink tumors before melanoma surgery

NCT ID NCT04207086

Summary

This study is testing whether giving two drugs—pembrolizumab and lenvatinib—for six weeks before surgery can better control stage III melanoma. The goal is to shrink the tumor and boost the body's immune response to improve long-term results after the operation. It involves 21 adults with resectable melanoma and will also look for clues in the blood and tissue about how the treatment works.
