Study Summary

This trial will study a drug injected into skin cancer tumors to see if it's safe & how the body responds, with surgery two weeks later.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain skin cancers: squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, or Merkel cell carcinoma. They must have at least one tumor between 1 and 3 cm that can be injected and removed surgically. People with other recent cancers, current cancer treatments, serious medical conditions like auto-immune diseases, or who are pregnant/breastfeeding cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests PH-762's safety by giving participants four weekly injections directly into a single tumor on the skin. After these injections, the treated tumor will be surgically removed to study how it responded to PH-762 and what happens to the drug in the body.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of PH-762 may include reactions at the injection site such as pain or swelling, general discomfort or flu-like symptoms due to immune response activation. The full range of side effects will be studied during this trial.
