Inclusion Criteria

The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

  • Must have primary resistant cutaneous melanoma and have experienced disease progression as defined by RECIST v1.1 after receiving at least 6 weeks of exposure to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy, generally correlating with 2 complete cycles of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy.
  • Must have histological or cytological confirmation of Stage III (unresectable) or Stage IV cutaneous melanoma
  • Must have radiographically measurable disease per RECIST v1.1
  • Must be at least 18 years of age at time of informed consent
  • Must provide written informed consent, according to local guidelines, signed and dated by the patient prior to the performance of any study-specific procedures, sampling, or analysis
  • Must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1 at time of informed consent.
  • Must have acceptable organ function, as evidenced by laboratory data prior to first dose of any study drug
  • Female patients must not be lactating or pregnant
  • Male patients, and female patients of childbearing potential who are at risk of pregnancy must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception
  • Must have life expectancy ≥12 weeks after the start of any study drug per Investigator's judgment
  • Must be willing and able to comply with the Protocol, scheduled visits, treatment plan, study restrictions, laboratory tests, contraceptive guidelines, and all other study procedures.
Exclusion Criteria

The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following

  • Any treatment for melanoma following the failure of an aPD-1-containing treatment, i.e., no intervening treatments between aPD-1 failure and enrollment into study;

  • Prior therapy with any of the following:

    • Radiation therapy to target lesions within 6 weeks of the first dose of MB097
    • Major invasive surgery, excluding placement of vascular access, within 28 days of the first dose of any study drug
    • Probiotic supplement use within 7 days of the first dose of any study
    • LBP use, including FMT, within 6 months of start of therapy with MB097.
  • Active, uncontrolled infection requiring systemic antimicrobial, antiviral, or antifungal therapy.

  • Active, uncontrolled, symptomatic brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases

  • Ocular, uveal, acral, or mucosal melanoma

  • Prior treatment-related toxicities that have not resolved to Grade 2 or less per NCI CTCAE v5.0;

  • Patients with a history of immune-related colitis may be included if symptoms have resolved to Grade 1 or less for at least 14 days prior to screening

  • Any history of CTCAE v5.0 immune-related toxicity Grade 3 or greater from prior CPI that is recurrent or steroid-refractory

  • Known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of the study drug(s) or known hypersensitivity to vancomycin (oral or IV)

  • Significant medical conditions which, in the Investigator's opinion, could compromise or interfere with the patient's safety or integrity of the study outcomes

  • Severe colitis of any etiology (except colitis associated with treatment with an aPD-1 inhibitor)

  • History of another malignancy within 3 years before the first dose of any study drug, or any evidence of residual disease from a previously diagnosed malignancy

  • Clinically significant (i.e., active) cardiovascular disease

  • Any clinically significant safety concern related to prior CPI therapy

  • Active autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment in the past 2 years prior to screening

  • History of investigational agent or device use within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment or current participation in a study of an investigational agent

  • History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient's participation, or, in the opinion of the Investigator, is considered to not be in the best interest of the patient to participate in the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety and tolerability of MB097 in combination with pembrolizumabFrom Visit 1 to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment

Assessed by the following:

* The incidence and severity of treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) per NCI CTCAE v5.0;

* Immune-related AEs (irAEs);

* AESIs; and

* Any clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory results, physical examination findings, 12-lead ECG findings, and vital signs using the NCI CTCAE v5.0.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Duration of responseUp to Week 24 or Week 105(for patients in extended treatment)

The time from first objective response until progression of disease or death

Progression-free survival,Up to Week 24 and Week 36, and Week 105(for patients in extended treatment)

The time from enrollment until disease progression or death

Best objective response rate (b-ORR) by RECIST v1.1 and iRECISTUp to Week 24 or Week 105(for patients in extended treatment)

b-ORR is the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Stable Disease (SD) or Progressive Disease (PD))
