Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of nivolumab adjuvant immunotherapy compared to placebo in adults and pediatric participants after complete resection of Stage IIB/C melanoma with no evidence of disease (NED) who are at high risk for recurrence.

Primary Outcome

Recurrence Free Survival (RFS) is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first recurrence (local, regional or distant metastasis), new primary melanoma (including melanoma in situ), or death (whatever the cause), whichever occurs first. For participants who remain alive and whose disease has not recurred or did not die, RFS will be censored on the date of last evaluable disease assessment. For those participants who remained alive and had no recorded post-randomiza
