Summary

This trial is testing PV-10, a new cancer treatment, in combination with an existing cancer treatment, pembrolizumab, to see if it is effective in treating metastatic melanoma.

Who is the study for?
Adults with confirmed melanoma, either Stage IV or unresectable Stage III, who have at least one lesion that can be treated with an injection and are fit for pembrolizumab therapy. They must not be pregnant, should use effective contraception if of childbearing potential, and cannot have untreated brain metastases or a history of severe autoimmune disease.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing PV-10 in combination with Pembrolizumab versus Pembrolizumab alone for treating metastatic melanoma. Initially, all participants will receive both treatments; later on, they'll be randomly assigned to continue this combo or just get Pembrolizumab.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions at the injection site from PV-10 and immune-related issues such as inflammation in organs due to Pembrolizumab. Other common side effects may involve fatigue, skin problems, digestive disturbances and changes in blood tests.
