Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years at the time of signing informed consent form (ICF) * Patients must have unresectable Stage III or Stage IV non-ocular melanoma per American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th Edition Staging Criteria not amenable to local therapy * Participants must have measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 criteria as assessed by investigator/ radiology. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been shown in such lesions. * Participants must have Eastern Cooperative Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1 or 2 at screening visit. * Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks * Adequate bone marrow, liver, and renal function * Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL * Platelets ≥100/mm3 * ANC ≥1.5/mm3 * Creatinine Clearance ≥ 30mL/min Cockcroft-Gault CrCl, mL/min = (140 - age) × (weight, kg) × (0.85 if female) / (72 × Cr, mg/dL). * AST and ALT less than 3 times the Upper Limit of Normal or less than 5 times the Upper Limit of normal with liver metastases. T Bilirubin \< 3.1 mg/dL. * Has progressed on a prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment * Recovered from toxicities of pembrolizumab to Grade ≤1, excluding endocrine toxicities * Prior Receipt of PD-1/PD-L1 therapy within 9 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational therapy. * Women of childbearing potential must have had a negative pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of treatment * Females of childbearing potential and males must be willing and able to use an adequate method of contraception to avoid pregnancy for the duration of the study. * Male and female participants of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized partner must agree to use highly effective methods of birth control from the trial screening date until 3 months after the final dose of study intervention; cessation of birth control after this point shall be discussed with a responsible physician. * Pregnant or lactating women are prohibited from enrolling in this study. * Male participants are not allowed to donate sperm from the time of enrollment until 6 months after administration of study interventions. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with a diagnosis of ocular or metastatic uveal melanoma * Participants with a history of a malignant disease other than those being treated in this study. The following exceptions are permitted: * Malignancies that were treated curatively and have not recurred within 2 years. Shorter intervals can be considered after discussion with the Principal Investigator. * Completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers. * Any malignancy considered to be indolent and that has never required therapy, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia. * Completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type * Participants ineligible to be retreated with pembrolizumab due to a treatment-related AE while on a prior anti-PD(L)-1 regimen that led to discontinuation of that prior therapy and would thus prevent retreatment or with an immune-related adverse event (irAE) of grade 3 or greater * Participants with known untreated or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. NOTE: Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided ALL of the following apply: * Treated CNS lesions are radiographically stable (without evidence of progression for ≥ 28 days prior to the first dose of study intervention) after intervention (eg, surgery and/or radiation). * Neurologically stable and on stable dose of ≤ 10mg of prednisone equivalent steroids for at least 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. * Any prior investigational or standard cancer therapy, with exception of PD-1/PD-L1 (includes nivolumab + Relatlimab) therapy, chemotherapy or radiation within 6-9 weeks of the first dose of the investigational therapy (see Inclusion Criteria) * Presence of B-RAF driver mutation without prior receipt of BRAF +/- MEK inhibitors, unless patient declines BRAF +/-MEK inhibition for any reason or is unable to tolerate BRAF and/or MEK inhibitors. * Participants with a known history of chronic viral infections as indicated below. If patients do not have a known history, testing is not required during the screening period to confirm the patient has an active infection. * Known HBV infection defined as hepatitis B surface antigen reactive. NOTE: Participants with HBV infection on stable anti-viral therapy for \> 4 weeks prior to the planned first study intervention and viral load confirmed as undetectable during Screening may be eligible. * Known active HCV infection defined as detectable HCV RNA (qualitative) infection. NOTE: History of HCV is not exclusionary if participant has received curative treatment and viral load is confirmed as undetectable during Screening. * Active HIV infection. Those with HIV infections on combination antiretroviral medications with stable CD4 count \>200/microliters as measured within screening time period. If the patient does not have a known history of HIV, then testing is not required during screening to confirm presence or absence of HIV. * Positive serum pregnancy test * Participants with out-of-range screening laboratory values as defined below. NOTE: Hematology evaluations must be performed \>7 days from any blood transfusion. Or blood product transfusion or from any dose of hematologic growth factor. * Glomerular filtration rate (calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula) \< 30 mL/min * Total bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN; participants with Gilbert's syndrome are excluded if total bilirubin \> 3.0 × ULN; or direct bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN * Albumin \< 3.0 g/dL * Absolute lymphocyte count \< 0.5 × 10\^9/L * Participants with a history of allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant
