An Efficacy Study of Adjuvant Treatment With the Personalized Cancer Vaccine mRNA-4157 and Pembrolizumab in Participants With High-Risk Melanoma (KEYNOTE-942)
Sponsor: ModernaTX, Inc.
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT03897881
This study evaluates the efficacy of mRNA-4157 combined with pembrolizumab as adjuvant therapy in high-risk melanoma patients post-resection. Eligible participants must have resectable melanoma, be disease-free post-surgery, and meet specific health criteria. Interventions include mRNA-4157, an individualized neoantigen therapy, and pembrolizumab, administered via intravenous infusion.

Program Overview
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.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion 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
Key
Exclusion Criteria
- 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
