Diet and immunotherapy before surgery for melanoma
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a special diet (with prebiotic foods) to standard immunotherapy before surgery helps your body fight melanoma better. It may improve how well the treatment works and reduce side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have stage III or IV melanoma that can be removed with surgery

This trial tests whether giving a combination of three immunotherapy drugs before surgery can help shrink melanoma and improve outcomes. It is for people whose melanoma can be surgically removed, and the goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This study looks at whether eating a high-fiber diet can help your body respond better to immunotherapy for melanoma. Researchers will ask you about your diet and may adjust it, then watch how your gut bacteria and tumor response change.
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs, ipilimumab and nivolumab, given before surgery for people whose melanoma has come back after previous anti-PD1 treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor and help prevent future recurrence.
This trial tests if adding extra dietary fiber before and during immunotherapy can change gut bacteria to make the treatment more effective. It is for people with advanced melanoma who are about to start their first immunotherapy.
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (anti-PD1) before and after surgery can help treat melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes or skin. It is for people whose melanoma can be removed surgically, and who either haven't had systemic treatment before or whose melanoma has returned after prior immunotherapy or targeted therapy.
This trial tests whether a special prebiotic diet can help your body's bacteria (microbiome) better respond to standard immunotherapy for advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. If you are starting your first immunotherapy, you may be able to join.
