Melanoma (Skin)
Conditions
Brief summary
This clinical study is designed as a randomized, double-blind trial. Subjects with unresectable, metastatic, or recurrent skin melanoma will be randomized to one of the two study groups (BCD-201 group and Keytruda group) at a 1:1 ratio. The goal of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of BCD-201 and Keytruda as first-line therapy in subjects with unresectable, metastatic, or recurrent skin melanoma.
