Nivolumab +/- Ipilimumab Immunomonitoring in Metastatic Melanoma (IMMUNONIVO)

July 17, 2026 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Immune Modulation Study in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma Treated With a First Line Therapy of Nivolumab +/- Ipilimumab (IMMUNONIVO/MelpredictPD1).

This is an open bi-centric prospective non-randomized study in patients with metastatic melanoma treated with a first line treatment of Nivolumab +/- Ipilimumab. The aim of the study is to characterize the immune cells modulations under anti-PD-1 +/- anti-CTLA4 and identify the differences between responder and non-responder patients.
