New scan could predict if immunotherapy will wipe out melanoma before surgery

NCT ID NCT05289193

Summary

This study is testing whether giving two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) before surgery can shrink melanoma tumors and prevent the cancer from coming back. It involves 28 adults with stage III melanoma that can be surgically removed. The research also explores a new experimental PET scan that images the immune system to see if it can predict how well the treatment works.
