First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) before surgery can improve outcomes for people with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare skin cancer. About 20 adults with stage I to III resectable cancer will receive the drugs for six weeks, then have surgery to remove the tumor. The main goal is to see if the cancer disappears completely in the removed tissue.
