Clinical Trials
mRNA-4157 Plus Pembrolizumab Continues to Improve RFS in High-Risk Melanoma
Findings from 3-year follow-up of KEYNOTE-942/mRNA-4157-P201 show that the cancer vaccine mRNA-4157 plus pembrolizumab reduced the risk of recurrence or death in patients with stage III/IV melanoma following resection.
Study Results Find Different Mechanisms of Action in 2 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Regimens
The differences between the regimens, anti-PD1/CTLA-4 and anti-PD1/LAG-3, can be used to optimize outcomes for patients with melanoma, particularly in those who develop drug resistance.
SD-101 With Immune Checkpoint Inhibition Generates Positive Results in Uveal Melanoma Liver Metastasis
Treatment with SD-101 distributed via pressure-enabled drug delivery with immune checkpoint inhibition was tolerated and resulted in the depletion of regulatory T cells (Tregs), monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs), and M2 macrophages in liver metastases in patients with uveal melanoma, according to data from the phase 1 PERIO-01 trial (NCT04935229) presented at the 2023 SITC Annual Meeting.
