ClearMe Trial Summary

"This trial, called Clear-Me, is testing a new combination treatment (LAG3/PD-1 inhibitors) from Bristol-Myers Squibb to see if it works better than the standard

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with high-risk melanoma who have had surgery to remove their cancer. They must have detectable circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after the surgery. The study is open to various stages of melanoma, from Stage 2A up to Stage 4.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Clear-Me trial compares two treatments: Opdualag, a combination therapy targeting LAG3 and PD-1 proteins on immune cells, versus Nivolumab alone, which targets only PD-1. Patients are randomly assigned to one of these treatments post-surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions such as inflammation in different organs, skin issues like rash or itching, fatigue, flu-like symptoms and possible changes in hormone levels affecting thyroid or adrenal function.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Clearance of ctDNA at 12 months after starting adjuvant treatment. ctDNA clearance is defined as no detection of plasma ctDNA
Secondary outcome measures
Number and severity of treatment related adverse events according to CTCAE v5.0.
Recurrence-free survival (RFS)
Other outcome measures
Clearance of ctDNA
Measured changes of biomarker ctDNA
Methylation patterns of biomarker ctDNA using circulating free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and sequencing (cfMeDIPseq) assay and correlation with ctDNA total variant allele frequency (VAF) detection.
