Effects of Anti-PD1 Adjuvant Checkpoint Blockade Immunotherapy on Atypical/Dysplastic Nevi
Sponsor: John Kirkwood
Summary
This study will examine the impact of anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD1) therapy given in the approved adjuvant therapeutic regimens upon the morphologic, histopathologic, molecular and immunologic as well as genomic features of atypical/dysplastic nevi (A/DN) in patients with a prior documented melanoma of Stages IIB, IIC, IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC and concurrent presence of two or more atypical nevi.
Official title: A Study of the Effects of Anti-PD1 Adjuvant Checkpoint Blockade Immunotherapy on Features of Atypical/Dysplastic Nevi in Patients With Stage IIB-IIIC Melanoma

Single agent, adjuvant anti-PD1 therapy
One of the following Single-agent, adjuvant anti-PD1 therapies: Nivolumab is a type of targeted therapy drug called an immune checkpoint inhibitor (a type of immunotherapy). It is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the protein PD-1 on the surface of immune cells called T cells. It works by keeping cancer cells from suppressing the immune system. Dose = 240 mg IV every 2 weeks/480 mg every 4 weeks or, Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody and a type of immune checkpoint inhibitor that's used in cancer immunotherapy. It works by attaching to the PD-1 protein on the surface of T cells, which are immune cells. This prevents cancer cells from suppressing the immune system, allowing the immune system to attack and kill the cancer cells. Dose = 200 mg IV every 3 weeks/ 400 mg every 6 weeks
