First seen Mar 17, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This early-phase study tested the safety of combining two drugs—pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) and AMG386 (which targets blood vessel growth)—in 62 people with advanced solid tumors, including melanoma, ovarian, renal, and colorectal cancers. The main goal was to find the safest dose and check for side effects. While not a cure, the combination aims to control disease by helping the immune system attack tumors and cutting off their blood supply.
