• 1 other identifier: HCI168525
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 25
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to study the impact of Neoadjuvant ipilimumab and nivolumab for melanoma patients that had recurrence during or after adjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy. Participants will receive 2 cycles of treatment prior to their standard of care surgery. After surgery participants will receive standard of care adjuvant therapy and be followed for response.

Conditions

Melanoma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  Assess the pathologic response rate (pRR) at the time of surgery after two doses of neoadjuvant Ipilimumab and Nivolumab for patients with resectable disease that have recurred after receiving systemic anti-PD1 therapy.

  2 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Frequency of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) characterized by type, severity (as defined by the NIH CTCAE, version 5.0), seriousness, duration, and relationship to study treatment.
