NCT ID NCT06075524

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study from Mayo Clinic is looking at how T cells (a type of immune cell) change during anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in people with advanced melanoma, lung cancer, or other solid tumors. Researchers will collect blood and tissue samples from 500 participants to measure specific markers like Bim and sPD-L1. The goal is to understand why some patients respond to treatment and others don't, and to find early signs of resistance.
