New cell therapy combo targets Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT06946225
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a new treatment combining two experimental therapies (IMA203 and mRNA-4203) for people with advanced melanoma or synovial sarcoma that has not responded to prior treatments. The main goals are to check safety and find the best dose. About 15 participants will take part.
