Official title

Targeting Inflammaging-Associated Cytokine Signaling to Improve Efficacy and Reduce Immune-Related Toxicities of Anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 Therapy

Brief summary

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

This phase I trial studies the side effects of adding anakinra and tocilizumab to standard treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab and to see how well it works in treating melanoma patients who are 50 years of age or older. Anakinra and tocilizumab are used to decrease the body's immune response and lower side effects. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Researchers think that anakinra and tocilizumab may reduce the side effects experienced from standard treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab while also preserving their anti-cancer effects. Adding anakinra and tocilizumab to standard treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating melanoma patients who are 50 years of age or older.
