Chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery for mucosal melanoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of chemo drugs (paclitaxel polymersomes, carboplatin) and an immunotherapy (adebelimab) before surgery for people with mucosal melanoma that can be removed. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of mucosal melanoma that can be removed with surgery (resectable).
- You must have never received immunotherapy (like checkpoint inhibitors) or taxane chemotherapy (like paclitaxel) before.
- Your cancer must not have spread to other parts of the body (no distant metastases).
- You must not have an active autoimmune disease or be on high-dose steroids (over 10 mg prednisone daily).
- You must have good organ function (blood counts, kidney, liver) and be willing to provide tumor tissue for testing.

This trial tests a combination of carilizumab (an immunotherapy drug) and apatinib (a targeted therapy) with radiation therapy for people with advanced mucosal melanoma that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if this triple approach can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
This Phase 2 trial tests giving radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for mucosal melanoma in the nose/sinuses or rectum. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes while aiming to control the disease locally and in nearby areas.
This trial tests if adding sintilimab (an immunotherapy) to chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of mucosal melanoma coming back. It is for people whose melanoma has been fully removed and whose tumor tests positive for PD-L1.
This trial tests a combination of three immunotherapy drugs (cemiplimab, fianlimab, and ipilimumab) before surgery in people with melanoma that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the cancer and improves outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (pucotenlimab, lenvatinib, and temozolomide) given before surgery to shrink head and neck mucosal melanoma and improve outcomes. It is for people whose cancer can be surgically removed.
This trial tests whether a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) can clear tiny amounts of cancer cells that remain after surgery in people with high-risk melanoma. It aims to prevent the cancer from coming back.
