First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests a personalized vaccine (NeoVax) made from a patient's own tumor mutations, given alongside two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) for advanced melanoma that cannot be surgically removed. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose, with a secondary focus on whether the combination shrinks tumors. Only 11 participants with cutaneous melanoma are enrolled, and those with other melanoma types are excluded.
