IMCODE001 Trial Summary

This trial will test if adding RO7198457 to pembrolizumab helps people with previously untreated advanced melanoma compared to pembrolizumab alone.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced melanoma that hasn't been treated before. They should have a certain level of physical fitness (ECOG 0 or 1), a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, and their major organs must be functioning well. People can't join if they've had organ transplants, significant heart disease, liver problems, eye melanoma, untreated brain metastases, autoimmune diseases, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B or C.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the combination of Autogene cevumeran (RO7198457) with Pembrolizumab versus using Pembrolizumab alone in patients who haven't received treatment for their advanced melanoma. It aims to see which approach works better and how safe it is.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions affecting various organs; infusion-related symptoms like fever or chills; fatigue; skin issues; hormonal gland problems such as thyroid disorders; and an increased risk of infections.
