Summary

This study tested a drug called LTX-315, injected directly into accessible tumors, combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in 23 people with advanced melanoma that had stopped responding to prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. The goal was to see if this combination could shrink tumors or slow the disease. Participants had skin, lymph node, or muscle tumors that could be reached with a needle.
