  • Known History of auto-immune disease

  • Received live vaccine ≤30 days before the first study treatment

Study Description

Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive either GME751, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed pembrolizumab (Keytruda-US) or European Union (EU)-authorized pembrolizumab (Keytruda-EU). The maximum study duration for a participant will be approximately 28 weeks including screening.

Treatment duration is 24 weeks (4 treatment cycles, each of 6 weeks duration). However, subject should discontinue study participation in case of disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity or other reasons.

Participants who are benefiting from treatment with pembrolizumab without signs of recurrence or unacceptable toxicity will be eligible for continued pembrolizumab treatment via most suitable option based on the respective country regulations.
