ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06965231

What this study is testing

What is Toripalimab combined with Endostar?

Toripalimab combined with Endostar is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for melanoma of skin.

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
This is a Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative toripalimab (anti-PD-1) combined with recombinant human endostatin (Endostar) as postoperative adjuvant therapy in patients with clinical stage II cutaneous or acral malignant melanoma. The study aims to answer: 1.
