This is a randomized, open label study to investigate efficacy and safety of UV1 vaccination in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab as first line treatment of adult patients with histologically confirmed unresectable metastatic melanoma.
This is a randomized, open label study to investigate efficacy and safety of UV1 vaccination in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab as first line treatment of adult patients with histologically confirmed unresectable metastatic melanoma. Patients in the experimental arm will receive 8 UV1 vaccinations over 4 cycles of nivolumab and ipilimumab. Patients in the control arm will receive 4 cycles of nivolumab and ipilimumab. Patients in both arms will start maintenance therapy 6 weeks after the last dose of induction therapy, nivolumab at a dose of 480 mg every 4 weeks. All patients will be followed up until death or until the end of the study. To support the Extended Exploratory Cohort of the study, an additional 20 patients at selected sites will be enrolled in a single arm UV1 cohort for collection of additional biological material. These patients are in addition to the 156 randomized patients in the main part of the study and will not be included in the main analysis of the study.

UV1 vaccine (300 μg) will be injected intradermally.
Sargramostim (75 μg) is used as a vaccine adjuvant.
Ipilimumab is dosed according to label.
PFS Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 (by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
Compare progression free survival (PFS) of UV1 vaccination in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab to that of nivolumab and ipilimumab
Time frame: Time from randomization to progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause (approximately 44 months)
Overall Survival
Compare Overall Survival of UV1 vaccination in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab to that of nivolumab and ipilimumab .
Time frame: Time from randomization to death from any cause /follow-up until 70 PFS events/18 months post rand, approximately 44 months.
ORR Per RECIST 1.1
Compare the objective response rate (ORR) of UV1 vaccination in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab to that of nivolumab and ipilimumab.
Time frame: Number of complete and partial responses during the study, approximately 44 months.
DOR Per RECIST 1.1
Compare duration of response (DOR) of UV1 vaccination in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab to that of nivolumab and ipilimumab.
Time frame: Time from first CR or PR to PD or death from any cause, approximately 44 months.
Evaluation of Adverse Events, Vital Signs, Laboratory Assessments and ECOG Performance Status
Compare the safety of UV1 vaccination in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab to that of nivolumab and ipilimumab. Safety will be listed and summarized descriptively by treatment arm comparing number of participants with observation and changes from baseline and at each visit related to AEs, deaths, vital signs (weight (kg), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), pulse rate (bpm), body temperature (°C)), laboratory assessments and ECOG performance status (Grade 0 - Grade 5).
