Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety and best dose of a new drug combination for advanced melanoma that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. It combines pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with ibrutinib, a drug that may block cancer cell growth. The goal is to see if using these two drugs together is safe and more effective than current treatments.
