Drug combo tested to shrink tumors before melanoma surgery
NCT ID NCT04221438
Summary
This study tested whether giving two targeted drugs (encorafenib and binimetinib) before surgery could help shrink melanoma tumors in patients whose cancer had spread to nearby lymph nodes. The drugs aim to block signals that help cancer cells grow. The trial also tested whether a special imaging scan could predict how well the treatment worked, but it was stopped early after enrolling only 3 participants.
