Summary

This early-phase study tests a personalized vaccine (NeoVax) made from a patient's own tumor mutations, given alongside a drug that boosts immune cells (CDX-301) and either nivolumab or pembrolizumab (immunotherapies). The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the combination helps control melanoma that has spread or is at high risk of returning. The study involves 10 adults with stage III or IV melanoma.
