New drug combo aims to shrink rare skin cancer before surgery

NCT ID NCT04869137

Summary

This study is testing whether giving two drugs, lenvatinib and pembrolizumab, before surgery can help people with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor as much as possible to make surgery more effective and potentially improve long-term results. The trial is for adults with a tumor that doctors believe can be fully removed with surgery.
