About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind Study Evaluating Pharmacokinetic Similarity of ABP 206 Compared With OPDIVO® (Nivolumab) in Resected Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma Subjects in the Adjuvant Setting

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity and efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of ABP 206 compared with OPDIVO® (nivolumab) in subjects with resected advanced melanoma.

Read the detailed description

Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive either ABP 206, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed nivolumab, or European Union (EU)-authorized nivolumab.

The treatment period is in alignment with the maximum treatment duration for OPDIVO® (nivolumab, reference product) in the adjuvant setting for melanoma.

All subjects will be treated until recurrence of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or subject withdrawal of consent with a maximum of 1 year of treatment.

The total duration of study participation for each subject will be approximately 13 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve from Time Zero to 28 Days (AUC0-28d)

    The PK similarity (AUC0-28d) of ABP 206 compared with nivolumab will be demonstrated in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Day 1 (Postdose) through Day 28

  2. Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve Over the Dosing Interval at Steady State (AUCtau_SS)

    The PK similarity (AUCtau_ss) of ABP 206 compared with nivolumab will be demonstrated in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Week 17 through Week 21

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration Following the First Dose (Cmax_dose 1)

    The comparison of PK (Cmax_dose 1) of ABP 206 with nivolumab will be determined in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Week 1 (Baseline) through Week 9, Week 17 to 29, Week 41, and Week 53 (End of Study)

  2. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration at Steady State (Cmax_ss)

    The comparison of PK (Cmax_ss) of ABP 206 with nivolumab will be determined in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Week 1 (Baseline) through Week 9, Week 17 to 29, Week 41, and Week 53 (End of Study)

  3. Serum Concentrations at Predose (Ctrough)

    The PK similarity (Ctrough) of ABP 206 compared with nivolumab determined in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Week 1 (Baseline) through Week 9, Week 17 to 29, Week 41, and Week 53 (End of Study)

  4. Number of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events

    The safety (treatment-emergent serious adverse events) of ABP 206 compared with nivolumab will be assessed in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Week 1 (First dose of study drug) through Week 53 (End of Study)

  5. Number of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    The safety (treatment-emergent adverse events) of ABP 206 compared with nivolumab will be assessed in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Week 1 (First dose of study drug) through Week 53 (End of Study)

  6. Number of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events-of-interest

    The safety (treatment-emergent adverse events-of-interest) of ABP 206 compared with nivolumab will be assessed in subjects with advanced melanoma in adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Week 1 (First dose of study drug) through Week 53 (End of Study)

  7. Number of Subjects With Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs)

    The immunogenicity of ABP 206 compared with nivolumab will be assessed in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Predose on Week 1 (Baseline), Weeks 5, 9, 17, 21, 29, 41, and at Week 53 (End of Study)

  8. Recurrence-free Survival (RFS)

    The RFS is assessed to compare the efficacy of ABP 206 with nivolumab in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting. The RFS is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first recurrence (local, regional, distant metastasis) or death (whatever the cause), or date of last visit/contact with disease assessments (for subjects who remain alive and whose disease has not recurred).

    Measured: Randomization through 12 months (or until RFS criteria is met)

  9. Time to reach Cmax following the first dose (Tmax_dose 1)

    The comparison of PK (Tmax_dose 1) of ABP 206 with nivolumab will be determined in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Week 1 (Baseline) through Week 9, Week 17 to 29, Week 41, and Week 53 (End of Study)

  10. Time to reach Cmax at steady state (Tmax_ss)

    The comparison of PK (Tmax_SS) of ABP 206 with nivolumab will be determined in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: Week 1 (Baseline) through Week 9, Week 17 to 29, Week 41, and Week 53 (End of Study)

  11. Serum Concentrations (Ctrough)

    The comparison of PK (Ctrough) of ABP 206 with nivolumab will be determined in subjects with advanced melanoma in the adjuvant setting.

    Measured: At Week 5 (Pre-dose), and at Weeks 17 and 21 (Pre-dose)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ABP 206, FDA-licensed Nivolumab and EU-authorized Nivolumab in people with Melanoma, run by Amgen at 76 sites in 22 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 76 sites in Brazil, Japan, Malaysia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mexico and 17 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve from Time Zero to 28 Days (AUC0-28d) (time frame: Day 1 (Postdose) through Day 28). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Mar 2026.
