NCT ID NCT03225365

Summary

This study involved 5 people with advanced melanoma who were treated with immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab with or without ipilimumab). Researchers wanted to understand how the immune system changes during treatment and what makes some patients respond better than others. They took blood and skin samples to analyze immune cells, but the study was small and focused on gathering information, not testing a new treatment.
