FAILED TRIAL: Topline Results from INITIUM Study Evaluating UV1 Vaccination Added to Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Malignant Melanoma Announced

Nevertheless, we are disappointed that UV1 did not add further clinical benefit for these late-stage melanoma patients in the INITIUM trial.
