Study Details

Study Description

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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: BCD-201 group

BCD-201 200 mg as a 30-minute intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks

Drug: BCD-201
up to 8 treatment cycles
Other Names:
  • Pembrolizumab
  • Active Comparator: Keytruda

    Keytruda 200 mg as a 30-minute intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks

    Drug: Keytruda
    up to 8 treatment cycles
    Other Names:
  • pembrolizumab
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. To compare the overall response rate (ORR) in the BCD-201 group and the Keytruda group [24 weeks of treatment]

      ORR according to RECIST 1.1

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. To compare the ORR according to iRECIST in the BCD-201 group and the Keytruda group [every 12 weeks up to 2 years]

      ORR according to iRECIST

    2. To compare the duration of response in the BCD-201 group and the Keytruda group [up to 2 years]

      Duration of response will be calculated from the moment of registration of response till event (progression or death)

    3. To compare the time to response according to RECIST 1.1 and iRECIST in the BCD-201 group and the Keytruda group [every 12 weeks up to 2 years]

      time to response will be calculated from the randomization date

    4. To compare the disease control rate in the BCD-201 group and the Keytruda group [up to 2 years]

      The percentage of the participants who have a Complete Response, a Partial Response or a Stable DIsease

    5. To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 and iRECIST in the BCD-201 group and the Keytruda group [up to 2 years]

      The time from the date of randomization until progression of disease according to RECIST 1.1 / iRECIST criteria or death

    6. To compare the overall survival in the BCD-201 group and the Keytruda group [up to 2 years]

      The time from the date of randomization until death

    7. To compare the incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety profiles of BCD-201 and Keytruda) [through study completion, an average of 2 years.]

      Presence of any adverse events (AEs), presence of adverse reactions (ARs), presence of serious adverse reactions (SARs), presence of severe ARs (grade 3 or higher severity according to CTCAE v.5.0), presence of ARs leading to discontinuation of study therapy, presence of immune-mediated AEs

    8. Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC(0-504)) [up to 24 weeks of the double-blind treatment period]

      Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve in the time interval from 0 to 504 hours

    9. AUC(0-∞) [up to 24 weeks of the double-blind treatment period]

      Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve in the time interval from 0 to time infinity

    10. Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) [up to 24 weeks of the double-blind treatment period]

      maximum concentration of pembrolizumab

    11. Time to maximum concentration (Tmax) [up to 24 weeks of the double-blind treatment period]

      time to maximum concentration of pembrolizumab

    12. Elimination rate constant (kel) [up to 24 weeks of the double-blind treatment period]

      kel of pembrolizumab

    13. Total clearance (Cl) [up to 24 weeks of the double-blind treatment period]

      Cl of pembrolizumab

    14. Steady-state volume of distribution of the drug substance (Vd) [up to 24 weeks of the double-blind treatment period]

      Vd of pembrolizumab

    15. Half-life period (T1/2) [up to 24 weeks of the double-blind treatment period]

      T1/2 of pembrolizumab

    16. Concentrations at the end of each infusion (CEOI) [up to 24 weeks of the double-blind treatment period]

      concentrations at the end of each infusion of pembrolizumab

    17. To compare the immunogenicity of BCD-201 and Keytruda. [pre-dose to day169 of the double-blind treatment period, 8 timepoints]

      Development of binding and neutralizing antibodies to pembrolizumab
