Brief Summary
Clear-Me is a biomarker-driven phase II study that tests whether the combination anti- lymphocyte-activation gene-3 (LAG3)/anti-programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1) inhibition Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS986213) is superior to anti-PD-1 inhibition in patients with detectable circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) following definitive surgery for high risk melanoma. Patients will be allocated to either Arm A or Arm B via the process of randomization. The randomization process will be stratified according to stage (Stage 2A/2B/3A/3B/3C/3D or 4), to ensure absolute balance between stage groups. The investigators are choosing only 1 stratification factor, disease stage, as the investigators consider stage being the most significant prognosticating variable. Each stage represents a biologically distinct entity with varying recurrence rate outcomes. Block randomization will be performed to ensure equal sample sizes in the combination and monotherapy arms. At least 54 patients will be included in the randomized part of the study. The investigators are expecting approximately 20% of the patients to have detectable ctDNA after definite surgery. Therefore, approximately 270 patients are expected to be enrolled and tested for ctDNA in the entire study.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of screening or age of consent according to law. 2. Written informed consent and any locally required authorization (e.g., data privacy) obtained from the subject prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. 4. Must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. 5. Histologically confirmed cutaneous or mucosal melanoma. 6. High risk melanoma subjects with disease staging for which adjuvant immunotherapy has been proven to reduce the risk of relapse versus observation (disease stage: 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 4 fully resected). 7. Archival tumor formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens for correlative biomarker studies are required (1 H\&E and 10 unstained 5 microns slides). If surgery is going to be performed after signing consent, then tumor FFPE from that surgery is allowed. 8. Patient is a candidate for definitive
