Neoadjuvant SHR-1210 Plus Apatinib for Resectable Stage III-IV Acral Melanoma

A Single-cencer,Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant SHR-1210 Plus Apatinib for Resectable Stage III-IV Acral Melanoma

Acral melanoma is a melanoma that affects acral areas of the skin, which is the most prevalent site of melanoma in non-Caucasians.Data in this subgroup is scarce.This study is to evalueate the efficiency and safety of Neoadjuvant SHR-1210 plus apatinib in this particular group,menawhile to determine the predictive value for efficiency of several biomarkers.

SHR-1210 is a humanized monoclonal antibody against Programmed death 1(PD-1). Apatinib is a new kind of selective Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2(VEGFR-2) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
