Study Summary

This trial is testing if nivolumab + CMP-001 is better than nivolumab alone at destroying disease in the lymph node.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Stage IIIB/C/D melanoma and visible lymph node disease. Participants must have good organ function, measurable disease, be willing to undergo a biopsy, and not be on high-dose steroids or have certain lung conditions. Women of childbearing age must use birth control or abstain from sex.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if combining CMP-001 with Nivolumab can better eliminate melanoma in the lymph nodes compared to current treatments. Patients will receive both drugs and their response rate will be measured according to specific criteria.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions associated with immunotherapy such as fatigue, skin reactions, inflammation of organs (like lungs), potential hormonal changes, flu-like symptoms, and an increased risk of infections.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the total cohort size for this clinical research endeavor?

"Unfortunately, this clinical trial has stopped recruiting participants. Initially published on August 8th 2018 and last modified on the 24th of August 20202, this study is now closed for enrollment. However, there are currently 754 open studies related to melanoma and 718 trials utilizing Nivolumab that may be viable options for participation."

Answered by AI

Has Nivolumab been studied in any other medical investigations?

"At the present moment, there are 82 phase 3 trials and 718 active studies researching Nivolumab. Basel, BE is one of 40285 different sites where clinical tests for this drug are conducted."

Answered by AI

Is this research venture still recruiting participants?

"Clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this research project, which was first published on the 8th of August 2018 and last edited in late August 2022, is no longer looking for participants at this time. Nevertheless, there are 1,472 additional clinical trials actively recruiting patients currently."

Answered by AI

Has this kind of clinical experiment been attempted before?

"Currently, Nivolumab is the subject of 718 live trials located in 2356 cities and 49 different countries. This drug first entered clinical trial back in 2012 when Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd sponsored a 659 patient study that concluded Phase 1 & 2 approval stages. Since then, an additional 254 trials have been completed successfully."

Answered by AI
