Study Summary
This trial will test whether using atezolizumab before surgery is safe and does not cause side effects that would delay the surgery.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with high-risk, non-metastatic cutaneous melanoma that can be surgically removed. Participants must have no prior treatments, good organ function, and a performance status of 0-2. They should not have had major surgery or live vaccines recently, nor should they have active infections or certain other health conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if atezolizumab given before surgery is safe and won't delay the procedure in patients with resectable cutaneous melanoma at high risk of recurrence post-surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Atezolizumab may cause immune-related side effects such as inflammation in various organs, infusion reactions, fatigue, possible infection risks, and allergic reactions to its components.
