Integrated Pharmacokinetics (PK)/Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity Study to Demonstrate Similarity of JPB898, a Proposed Biosimilar to Nivolumab, to Opdivo® in Combination With Yervoy®

A Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group Study to Compare Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of JPB898 (Proposed Nivolumab Biosimilar) and US-licensed and EU-authorized Opdivo® in Combination With Yervoy® in Participants With Untreated Advanced (Unresectable/Metastatic) Melanoma

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate similar PK and efficacy and to show comparable safety and immunogenicity between JPB898, Opdivo-EU, and Opdivo-US, all administered in combination with Yervoy-EU (induction phase only), in participants with advanced (unresectable Stage III or metastatic Stage IV) melanoma.
