ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05913388

What this study is testing

What is GB1211?

GB1211 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for metastatic melanoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
