Official title
Bone Loss in Cancer Survivors Receiving Adjuvant Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study investigates the bone-related side effects caused by immunotherapy drugs such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab in patients with melanoma. Nivolumab and pembrolizumab are immunotherapy drugs (drugs that boost your immune system) used to prevent cancer from coming back in patients with melanoma. Specifically, researchers want to learn if there is any relationship between receiving immunotherapy and bone density (thickness) measured by a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan or bone turnover markers (which indicate levels of bone loss) found in the blood. This study may provide researchers with more information on bone loss and may help prevent bone loss in future patients.
