Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test neoadjuvant dual immunotherapy in Merkel cell carcinoma with the aim to improve recurrence-free survival


Clinical Trial Description

This is a phase 2, open label, single cohort, single centre, clinical trial of neoadjuvant immunotherapy with dual inhibition of PD-1 and LAG-3 immune checkpoint pathways. The hypothesis is that neoadjuvant therapy produces a higher pathological response rate (pCR) and a longer recurrence-free survival in a cohort of treatment-naïve patients with resectable stage I (≥10 mm) to stage III Merkel cell carcinoma compared to neoadjuvant nivolumab monotherapy in Checkmate 358 (n=123, NCT02488759, historical control). ;
