Intradermal Injection of Anti-CTLA-4 in Patients With Stage I/II Melanoma

Summary

This study evaluates the clinical safety and tolerability, and the immunological effects of local intradermal injection of tremelimumab in patients with clinical stage I/II melanoma patients undergoing a sentinel node biopsy (SNB). Patients will be treated by local intradermal injections around the excision site of the primary tumor with escalating doses of 2, 5, 10 or 20 mg tremelimumab.
