New drug duo aims to stop deadly skin Cancer's return

NCT ID NCT02656706

Summary

This study is testing whether a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab, can help prevent melanoma from returning in patients who have had it surgically removed but are at high risk of it coming back. The treatment is given for six months after surgery. The main goals are to see if the drug combination is safe and if it helps patients live longer without their cancer returning.
