An Efficacy Study of Adjuvant Treatment With the Personalized Cancer Vaccine mRNA-4157 and Pembrolizumab in Participants With High-Risk Melanoma (KEYNOTE-942)

Description

The purpose of this study is to assess whether postoperative adjuvant therapy with mRNA-4157 and pembrolizumab improves recurrence free survival (RFS) compared to pembrolizumab alone in participants with complete resection of cutaneous melanoma and a high risk of recurrence.

Conditions

Melanoma

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Resectable cutaneous melanoma metastatic to a lymph node and at high risk of recurrence
  • * Complete resection within 13 weeks prior to the first dose of pembrolizumab
  • * Disease free at study entry (after surgery) with no loco-regional relapse or distant metastasis and no clinical evidence of brain metastases
  • * Has an formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor sample available suitable for sequencing
  • * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 or 1
  • * Normal organ and marrow function reported at screening
  • * Prior malignancy, unless no evidence of that disease for at least 5 years prior to study entry
  • * Prior systemic anti-cancer treatment (except surgery and interferon for thick primary melanomas. Radiotherapy after lymph node dissection is permitted)
  • * Live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of pembrolizumab
  • * Transfusion of blood or administration of colony stimulating factors within 2 weeks of the screening blood sample
  • * Active autoimmune disease
  • * Immunodeficiency, systemic steroid therapy, or any other immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of pembrolizumab
  • * Solid organ or allogeneic bone marrow transplant
  • * Pneumonitis or a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis that required steroids
  • * Prior interstitial lung disease
  • * Clinically significant heart failure
  • * Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
  • * Known active hepatitis B or C
  • * Active infection requiring treatment
