NCT ID NCT02562625

First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tested whether adding radiotherapy to the drug pembrolizumab works better than pembrolizumab alone for people with advanced melanoma. The goal was to see if the combination could slow cancer growth and even shrink tumors that were not directly treated. The trial was stopped early and included 17 adults with stage III or IV melanoma.
