Study Summary

This trial is testing whether giving the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab before and after surgery is better than giving it just after surgery for treating patients with high-risk melanoma.

Eligible Conditions
  • Stage IIIB Cutaneous Melanoma
  • Pathologic Stage III Cutaneous Melanoma
  • Stage IV Cutaneous Melanoma
  • Mucosal Melanoma
  • Clinical Stage III Cutaneous Melanoma
  • Acral Lentiginous Melanoma
