Trial comparing treatments for Metastatic Melanoma
Official title Study to Investigate Lifileucel Regimen Plus Pembrolizumab Compared With Pembrolizumab Alone in Participants With Untreated Advanced Melanoma.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05727904
What this study is testing
What is Lifileucel plus Pembrolizumab?
An investigational combination therapy being studied for metastatic melanoma.
Also referred to as LN-144, Pembrolizumab.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study compares the safety and effectiveness of adding lifileucel to pembrolizumab versus using pembrolizumab alone in patients who have not yet been treated for advanced melanoma.
- Who it's for
- Adults with untreated, unresectable, or metastatic melanoma.
- What's involved
- Participants receive either pembrolizumab alone or lifileucel plus pembrolizumab. If a patient on pembrolizumab shows disease progression, they may switch to lifileucel alone in a later phase.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts several months, with regular clinic visits and tests to monitor treatment response and side effects.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
