  • Objective

    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 patients with complete resection of cutaneous melanoma and a high risk of recurrence.

  • Key Eligibility

    •  Resectable cutaneous melanoma metastatic to a lymph node and at high risk of recurrence
    •  Complete resection within 13 weeks before study enrollment
    •  Disease free at study entry (after surgery) with no loco-regional relapse or distant metastasis and no clinical evidence of brain metastases
    •  Has an FFPE tumor sample available suitable for sequencing
    •  ECOG Performance Status 0 or 1
    •  Normal organ and marrow function reported at screening
