New strategy tested to overcome resistance to melanoma immunotherapy

NCT ID NCT04225390

Summary

This study tested a two-step approach for patients with advanced melanoma that did not respond to standard immunotherapy. First, patients received a chemotherapy drug (DTIC). Then, they tried immunotherapy again. The goal was to see if the chemotherapy could 'reset' the tumor and make it responsive to the immunotherapy it had previously resisted.
