A Randomized Phase III Trial of the Duration of Anti-PD-1 Therapy in Metastatic Melanoma

Canadian Cancer Trials Group·interventional·Posted Jul 1, 2016·Updated Jun 9, 2026

In Brief

A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Intermittent PD-1 inhibitor therapy and Continuous PD-1 inhibitor therapy for Unresectable/Metastatic Melanoma. Currently recruiting, targeting 614 participants across 30 sites in 2 countries.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on patients with metastatic melanoma of taking a government approved and paid-for PD-1 inhibitor intermittently, with taking the same type of agent continuously. Researchers want to see if the two ways of giving this type of treatment work equally well in extending the life of patients with melanoma, or not.
