The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of ABP 206 compared with Nivolumab in Subjects with Treatment-Naïve Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma.
Read the detailed description
Eligible subjects will be randomized (1:1) to receive investigational product (ABP 206 or nivolumab).
All subjects will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or subject withdrawal of consent for a maximum of 24 months of treatment.
The total duration of study participation for each subject will be approximately 26 months.
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ABP 206Drug
ABP 206 will be given intravenously over a period of 30 or 60 minutes, every 4 weeks (Q4W) for a total of 24 months.
NivolumabDrug
Also called OPDIVO®
Nivolumab will be given intravenously over a period of 30 or 60 minutes, Q4W for a total of 24 months.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| ABP 206 | Experimental | Subjects will receive Dose A of ABP 206 via intravenous (IV) infusion. Receives: Drug: ABP 206 |

Who may be eligible to take part?

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Objective response by Week 49 (time frame: Week 49). The study lists 5 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 12 Jan 2026.
