Study Of An Experimental Drug For Melanoma Skin Cancer

Description

Seeking men and women who have been diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer and will have surgery to remove it for a study of whether starting the experimental drug before surgery is better or worse than starting the drug after surgery.

Overview

Participants in this trial will either start receiving the experimental drug before surgery to treat their melanoma skin cancer or after surgery so that we can evaluate which is best.

What we're hoping for

Evaluate whether starting the experimental drug before surgery to treat melanoma skin cancer is better or worse than starting the drug after surgery.
