Clinical Study of the Efficacy and Safety of BCD-201 and Keytruda in Subjects With Advanced Melanoma

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Melanoma (Skin)
Interventions
Drug: BCD-201
Drug: Keytruda
Registration Number
NCT05986331
Lead Sponsor
Biocad
Brief Summary

This clinical study is designed as a randomized, double-blind trial. Subjects with unresectable, metastatic, or recurrent skin melanoma will be randomized to one of the two study groups (BCD-201 group and Keytruda group) at a 1:1 ratio.

The goal of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of BCD-201 and Keytruda as first-line therapy in subjects with unresectable, metastatic, or recurrent skin melanoma.
