Brazilian trial challenges standard: can one year of treatment match two?

NCT ID NCT07376317

Summary

This study is testing if a shorter, one-year course of pembrolizumab immunotherapy works as well as the standard two-year course for people with advanced melanoma that has spread or returned. It aims to make this effective treatment more accessible and affordable within Brazil's public health system. Researchers will follow 29 patients to see if the cancer stays controlled and measure quality of life and costs.
