Per-arm endpoint measurements with 95% confidence intervals where reported. Source: trial results section.

Tissue and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Collection Primary · Baseline

Tissue and hematopoietic/mesenchymal stem cell will be collected from patients with melanoma and squamous head and neck cancer. These will be used to establish humanized animal model.
