Study Summary

This phase II trial studies the effect of pembrolizumab alone or in combination with CMP-001 in treating patients with melanoma that can be treated by surgery (operable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy with CMP-001 may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The addition of CMP-001 to pembrolizumab could improve the ability of the immune system to shrink tumors and to prevent them from returning.

Primary Outcome

Will be estimated by the percentage of patients who achieve complete response, partial response or stable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and Immune-Modified RECIST criteria, with exact 90% confidence intervals.
