Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy with Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in Treating Patients with Metastatic Melanoma

Trial Status: withdrawn

This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy works when given together with ipilimumab and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma that has spread to other parts in the body. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy with ipilimumab and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with melanoma.
