About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Subjects must have at least two atypical nevi of ≥ 4 mm diameter.

Subjects must have a current documented history of melanoma.

Subject must be ≥ 18 years and if female of childbearing potential, must agree to practice effective contraception per institutional SOC if sexually active.

Subjects will have been deemed candidates for adjuvant therapy with single agent anti-PD1 therapy.

Disqualifiers

Patients with non-malignant diseases or indications that would preclude the administration of anti-PD1 therapy such as significant immune suppression or active autoimmune disease requiring disease modifying, immunosuppressive therapy, will be ineligible.

Patients who have previously received anti-PD1 therapy

Patients with history of other active, non-melanoma cancers

Patients who are receiving other anti-neoplastic therapy.
