A randomised, placebo-controlled, Phase II trial of adjuvant Avelumab in patients with stage I-III Merkel cell carcinoma

I-MAT will determine if a six-month treatment regime of Avelumab is well-tolerated and can eliminate residual microscopic cancer cells, thus reducing the risk of the cancer reoccurring and improving the overall outcomes for patients with early-stage Merkel cell carcinoma.
