Two-Drug attack before surgery aims to wipe out skin cancer

NCT ID NCT06151236

Summary

This study is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) given to patients before surgery for Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. The goal is to see if this 'pre-surgery' treatment can shrink or eliminate the tumor and, most importantly, prevent the cancer from coming back after the operation. The trial will enroll about 20 patients with early to mid-stage cancer that can be surgically removed.
