This trial is for people aged 18–120 with advanced, unresectable melanoma or metastatic clear-cell kidney cancer. Melanoma may be anti-PD-1-naive or refractory; kidney cancer must resist prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment.

The idea: aldesleukin stimulates immunity while pembrolizumab releases immune inhibition. Initial intravenous combination treatment requires hospital stays. Patients without progression may then receive pembrolizumab alone, if appropriate.

This phase 2 study plans 78 patients. Stephanie Goff leads at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, the sole recruiting US site. Researchers assess tumor response, progression and toxicity.
