Official title

A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety of Naltrexone and Propranolol in Combination With Standard of Care Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in Patients With Advanced Melanoma

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Various forms of stress can promote cancer development and growth and negatively impact the immune system's response to tumors. Beta-adrenergic and opioid receptors co-exist in many cells including immune cells and are integral components of the body's response to stress. Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated that dual blockade of these receptors can decrease tumor growth and modulate the anti-tumor immune response. This clinical trial investigates the safety and potential therapeutic benefits of combining a beta-adrenergic blocker (propranolol) and an opioid receptor antagonist (naltrexone) with immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with advanced melanoma.
