A PK Study to Compare GME751 (Proposed Pembrolizumab Biosimilar) and US-licensed and EU-authorized Keytruda® in Participants With Stage II and III Melanoma

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity and efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of GME751 compared with Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) in subjects with resected advanced melanoma requiring adjuvant treatment with pembrolizumab.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT06153238
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 1

Additional Details

Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive either GME751, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed pembrolizumab (Keytruda-US) or European Union (EU)-authorized pembrolizumab (Keytruda-EU). The maximum study duration for a participant will be approximately 28 weeks including screening. Treatment duration is 24 weeks (4 treatment cycles, each of 6 weeks duration). However, subject should discontinue study participation in case of disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity or other reasons. Participants who are benefiting from treatment with pembrolizumab without signs of recurrence or unacceptable toxicity will be eligible for continued pembrolizumab treatment via most suitable option based on the respective country regulations.
