Summary
This trial is testing botensilimab alone and with balstilimab in adults with advanced skin cancer who haven't responded to other treatments. The drugs aim to help the immune system better recognize and attack cancer cells. The study will see if these treatments are safe and effective.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced melanoma that didn't respond to checkpoint inhibitor therapy. They must have a life expectancy of at least 3 months, good performance status, and adequate organ function. Participants need confirmed Stage III or IV cutaneous melanoma and may require BRAF V600 mutation testing. Women who can bear children and men with partners who can must use effective birth control.
What is being tested?
The study tests Botensilimab alone or combined with Balstilimab in patients whose melanoma has progressed despite treatment with anti-PD-(L)1 drugs like ipilimumab. It's an open-label Phase 2 trial assessing the effectiveness, safety, tolerability, and how the body processes these drugs.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions affecting various organs, infusion-related responses (like allergic reactions during drug administration), fatigue, digestive issues such as nausea or diarrhea, skin rash, hormonal imbalances requiring medication management.
