Double attack on melanoma: trial tests powerful drug combo before surgery

NCT ID NCT04139902

Summary

This study compares two immunotherapy approaches given before surgery for advanced melanoma that can still be removed. Patients receive either one immunotherapy drug or a combination of two drugs for 6 weeks before their operation, followed by additional treatment afterward. The goal is to see which approach better shrinks the cancer before surgery and improves long-term outcomes.
