This is a Phase 2, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of acasunlimab as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in adult participants with relapsed/refractory, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cutaneous melanoma who progressed on or after prior checkpoint inhibitor (CPI)-containing therapy. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive acasunlimab and pembrolizumab or acasunlimab alone.
Eligible participants must have received a minimum of 2 cycles of an approved anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) containing therapy. Participants whose tumor harbors a B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600 mutation are eligible for the trial if they have received a BRAF-directed therapy (with or without a mitogen-activated protein kinase \[MEK\] inhibitor) prior to enrollment in the trial, unless the investigator has deemed a BRAF-directed therapy not clinically indicated. BRAF V600 mutational status must be determined by local assessment and documented.
