Study Summary

This trial compares two drugs' success in treating melanoma, looking at relapse free, overall, and melanoma-specific survival, as well as safety, quality of life, and other factors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had melanoma surgically removed recently and are disease-free. They must have been stage IIC, III, or IV at diagnosis per AJCC 8th edition criteria. Excluded are those with uveal melanoma, any remaining disease post-surgery, significant autoimmune diseases in the past 2 years needing immunosuppressants, adolescents under 40 kg, and uncontrolled HIV/HBV/HCV infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to see if fianlimab combined with cemiplimab increases the time patients remain free from melanoma relapse compared to pembrolizumab alone. It will also compare overall survival rates, specific survival rates for melanoma, effects on metastasis-free survival after surgery, quality of life impacts and safety between the two treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune system reactions that can affect organs like lungs or intestines (inflammation), skin reactions at injection sites, fatigue or weakness; however individual experiences may vary.
