Summary

This is Phase II trial of nivolumab plus axitinib for patients with unresectable stage III or IV melanoma who have progressed on prior anti-PD1 therapy with or without concomitant anti-CTLA4 therapy.

DRUG

Nivolumab

Nivolumab is a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that blocks PD-1. It is a type of Immunotherapy and works as a checkpoint inhibitor, blocking a signal that prevents activation of T cells from attacking the cancer.

DRUG

Axitinib

Axitinib (AG013736; trade name Inlyta) is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor.Its primary mechanism of action is thought to be vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1-3, c-KIT and PDGFR inhibition, this, in turn, enables it to inhibit angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels by tumours)
