Scientists probe tumor metabolism to outsmart immunotherapy resistance in melanoma

NCT ID NCT05307289

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is investigating why some melanomas stop responding to immunotherapy. Researchers will take biopsies from 20 patients with advanced melanoma before and after treatment to see how tumor metabolism changes. The goal is to understand resistance mechanisms and find new ways to target cancer cells without harming immune cells.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this research could point toward new ways to overcome immunotherapy resistance in melanoma, potentially leading to more effective treatments.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 20 participants. It is not testing a treatment, so it may not directly lead to new therapies.
