Study Summary

This is an open-label, randomized, multi-site, Phase II, interventional trial designed to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of BNT111 + cemiplimab in anti-programmed death protein 1 (PD-1)/anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-refractory/relapsed patients with unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma. The contributions of BNT111 and cemiplimab will be delineated in single agent calibrator arms. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1:1 ratio to Arm 1 (BNT111 + cemiplimab) and calibrator Arm 2 (BNT111 monotherapy), and Arm 3 (cemiplimab monotherapy). Patients in single agent calibrator arms (Arms 2 and 3), who experience centrally verified disease progression under single agent treatment, may be offered addition of the other compound to the ongoing treatment after re-consent.

Primary Outcome

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in whom a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) was observed as best overall response by blinded independent central review (BICR). Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as the \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.
