New hope for Hard-to-Treat cancers: targeted immunotherapy shows promise
NCT ID NCT04957615
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can help control cancer in 16 people with advanced solid tumors that have spread or can't be removed by surgery. Participants must have a specific genetic change (ARID1A mutation) and a protein marker (CXCL13) in their tumors. The goal is to see if these markers can predict who will benefit from treatment.
