New combo therapy aims to stop rare, aggressive skin cancer from coming back

NCT ID NCT04318717

Summary

This study is testing whether a combination of targeted radiation and an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) can help prevent mucosal melanoma from returning after it has been surgically removed. The treatment is for adults with mucosal melanoma of the head and neck who have had surgery but have not yet received radiation. Researchers will compare the results to historical data to see if the combination is more effective than radiation alone.
