Summary
This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN3767, also known as fianlimab (R3767), when combined with another medication called cemiplimab (each individually called a "study drug" or called "study drugs" when combined) compared with an approved medication called pembrolizumab. The objective of this study is to see if the combination of fianlimab and cemiplimab is an effective treatment compared to pembrolizumab in patients that have had melanoma removal surgery but are still at high risk for the recurrence of the disease. Pembrolizumab is an approved treatment in some countries in this clinical setting. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from receiving the study drugs. * How much study drug is in the blood at different times. * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects). Antibodies are proteins that are naturally found in the blood stream that fight infections. * How administering the study drugs might improve quality of life.

  1. Relapse free survival (RSF)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    Time from randomization to the first documented recurrence of disease at any site (excluding new primary melanomas) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

  1. Distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    Time between the date of randomization and the date of the first distant metastasis.

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    Time from randomization to the date of death.

  3. Occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    A TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

  4. Occurrence of immune-mediated EAEs (im-EAEs)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    imAEs are a unique set of toxicities thought to be caused by unrestrained cellular immune responses.

  5. Occurrence of serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: * Results in death - includes all deaths, even those that appear to be completely unrelated to study drug (eg, a car accident in which a patient is a passenger). * Is life-threatening * Requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. * Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity * Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. * Is an important medical event

  6. Occurrence of adverse events of special interest (AESIs)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    An AESI (serious or non-serious) is one of scientific and medical concern specific to the sponsor's product or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the Investigator to the sponsor can be appropriate. Such an event might warrant further investigation in order to characterize and understand it

  7. Occurrence of TEAEs resulting in death

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    A TEAE resulting in death is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

  8. Occurrence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    A DLT is defined as a study-drug related TEAE, including imAEs, that could preclude enrolling additional adolescent patients at the selected dose. Dose-limiting toxicity will be evaluated in adolescents only.

  9. Occurrence of interruption or discontinuation of study drug(s) due to TEAE

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    A TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

  10. Occurrence of laboratory abnormalities

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    As assessed by the NCI-CTCAE grading system (≥ Grade 3 or higher)

  11. Concentrations of fianlimab in serum over time

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    The concentrations of fianlimab over time will be summarized by descriptive statistics by study arm for the overall population and for adolescent patients.

  12. Concentrations of cemiplimab in serum over time

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    The concentrations of cemiplimab over time will be summarized by descriptive statistics by study arm for the overall population and for adolescent patients.

  13. Concentration of finalimab anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and neutralizing antibodies

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    Immunogenicity will be characterized per drug molecule by ADA and NAb status.

  14. Concentration of cemiplimab anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and neutralizing antibodies

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    Immunogenicity will be characterized per drug molecule by ADA and NAb status.

  15. Patient report outcomes (PRO) for adults as measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Year

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 (Version 3) uses for the questions 1 to 28 a 4-point scale. The scale scores from 1 to 4: 1 ("Not at all"), 2 ("A little"), 3 ("Quite a bit") and 4 ("Very much"). Half points are not allowed. The range is 3. For the raw score, less points are considered to have a better outcome. The EORTC QLQ-C30 (Version 3) uses for the questions 29 and 30 a 7-points scale. The scale scores from 1 to 7: 1 ("very poor") to 7 ("excellent"). Half points are not allowed. The range is 6. More points are considered to have a better outcome.

  16. PRO for adults as measured by the European Quality of Life Dimension 5 (EQ-5D-5L)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    The EQ-5D-5L a descriptive system that comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state.

  17. PRO for adults as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) - melanoma

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    The FACT-M is a melanoma-specific quality of life questionnaire that is composed of items from the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G). The FACT-M is scored on a 5 point Likert-scale: "Not at all", "A little bit", "Somewhat", "Quite a bit", and "Very much.". A Higher score represents higher Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL).

  18. PRO for adults as determined by the Patient Global Impressions Scale (PGIS)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    The PGIS is a single 1-item questionnaire designed to assess participant's overall impression of disease severity at a given point in time by using a 4-point Likert scale that ranges from (1) = "none (no symptoms)" to (4) = "severe".

  19. PRO for adults as determined by the Patient Global Impressions of Change Scale (PGIC)

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

    The PGIC is a single-item questionnaire designed to assess the participant's overall sense of whether there has been a change since starting treatment as rated on a 5-point Likert scale anchored by (1) "much better" to (5) "much worse", with (4) = "no change".

  20. Time to global health status/quality of life deterioration per EORTC QLQ-C30

    Timeframe: Up to 5 years

  21. Time to physical functioning deterioration per EORTC QLQ-C30

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years

  22. Time to role functioning deterioration per EORTC QLQ-C30

    Timeframe: Up to 5 Years
