Study Summary

This trial will compare two treatments for people with untreated, advanced skin cancer to see which works better and is safer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with melanoma that can't be surgically removed or has spread, who haven't had systemic treatment for advanced disease. They must have measurable disease and be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1). People with a history of certain immune treatments, active brain metastases, ocular melanoma, severe allergies to monoclonal antibodies, or those on immunosuppressants can't participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares ABP 206 with Nivolumab in patients who've never been treated for unresectable or metastatic melanoma before. It aims to evaluate how well these drugs work, their safety profiles, and the body's immune response to them.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system such as inflammation in various organs like lungs and intestines; skin issues; hormonal gland problems; fatigue; infusion-related reactions; and possibly others based on individual responses.
