A Phase 1/2 Open-Label Rolling-Arm Umbrella Platform Design of Investigational Agents With or Without Pembrolizumab or Pembrolizumab Alone in Participants With Melanoma (KEYMAKER-U02): Substudy 02B
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Substudy 02B is part of a larger research study where researchers are looking for new ways to treat advanced melanoma that has not been treated before. The larger study is the umbrella study. Researchers want to know if adding other treatments to pembrolizumab can treat advanced melanoma. The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety and how well people tolerate pembrolizumab given with other treatments * How many people have melanoma that responds (gets smaller or goes away) to treatment
