Triple Immune Checkpoint Inhibition for Advanced or Metastatic PD-(L)1 Refractory Merkel Cell Carcinoma
NCT06056895 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This phase II trial tests how well a combination of three immunotherapy drugs work for patients with Merkel cell carcinoma that has spread to lymph nodes and/or distant parts of the body and cannot be treated with surgery (advanced or metastatic MCC) and grew despite prior PD-(L)1 therapy. The three drugs INCMGA00012 (retifanlimab, anti-PD-1), INCAGN02385 (tuparstobart, anti-LAG-3), and INCAGN02390 (verzistobart, anti-TIM-3) are monoclonal antibodies given periodically via IV to reactivate the body's immune system to attack the cancer. This combination may stop tumor growth if tumors have grown despite anti-PD-(L)1 therapy alone.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06056895
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06056895 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 12 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Washington, which has 987 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Merkel Cell Carcinoma appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Biospecimen Collection is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06056895 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Washington. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
