Needle under the skin: easier nivolumab shot studied for advanced tumors
NCT ID NCT03656718
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested giving the cancer drug nivolumab as a shot under the skin (instead of through an IV) to people with advanced cancers like lung, kidney, melanoma, liver, and colorectal cancer. The main goal was to see how the drug moves in the body and to check for side effects. 139 participants took part, and the results help doctors understand if this easier method works as well as the standard IV infusion.
