A trial of nivolumab for melanoma that can't be removed with surgery or has spread to other parts of the body (CheckMate 067)

This trial was looking at a drug called nivolumab for melanoma that can’t be removed or has spread to another part of the body. If melanoma can’t be removed with surgery or has spread to another part of your body, it is called advanced melanoma.

Doctors can treat advanced melanoma with chemotherapy or a targeted drug. But researchers are looking for ways to improve treatment.
