Melanoma refers to a type of skin cancer that is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet light (UV). They represent only 1% of all skin cancers. However, cancer-related death as a result of melanoma is a significant cause of concern. If not detected or treated early, melanoma can turn into a metastatic disease. Unresectable melanoma or metastatic melanoma is considered an aggressive form of cancer that can be life-threatening. This indicates the urgent need for clinical research efforts to introduce effective treatment options for patients suffering from unresectable melanoma.

Report Coverage

The Unresectable Melanoma Drug Pipeline Report by the publisher gives comprehensive insights into unresectable melanoma drugs currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details of each of these drugs under development for unresectable melanoma. The report includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies . It will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials including their adverse effects on patients suffering from unresectable melanoma.

The detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration, and ongoing product development activities related to unresectable melanoma are covered.

Unresectable Melanoma Drug Pipeline Outlook

Historically, melanoma has posed a formidable challenge in the field of oncology, especially in its advanced stages. The introduction of targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) transformed the treatment landscape for the disease in the past decade. Further, the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors designed to target CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1, among others, substantially enhanced the clinical outcomes for unresectable or advanced melanoma. However, significant challenges still remain such as the management of rare melanoma subtypes or the resistance to current treatments in certain cases.

In February 2024, Amtagvi (lifileucel) developed by Iovance Biotherapeutics Inc., the first cellular therapy for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma, received regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Moreover, the increasing research into identifying new genetic mutations and molecular pathways involved in the progression of unresectable melanoma that can be targeted with novel therapies is poised to lead to the expansion of the drug pipeline in the coming years.

Unresectable Melanoma - Pipeline Drugs Profile

Major drugs currently in the pipeline are as follows:

Drug: IO102-IO103, Drug: Pembrolizumab

The international, randomized, 2-arm study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy profile of IO102-IO103 in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of metastatic (advanced) melanoma or previously untreated unresectable melanoma. The trial, enrolling 400+ participants, is sponsored by IO Biotech and is currently under phase III.

Drug: RPH-075, Drug: Keytruda

The objective of the double-blind, randomized study is to compare the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of RPH-075 and Keytruda® in unresectable or metastatic skin melanoma patients. The trial is sponsored by R-Pharm and is currently under phase III.

Drug: RO7247669

Sponsored by Hoffmann-La Roche, this randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase II study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics along with the efficacy and safety profile of two dose levels of the drug RO7247669 in around 80 participants with unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

Biological: Lorigerlimab

This open-label Phase I study, sponsored by MacroGenics, is investigating the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity of the biological candidate lorigerlimab in an estimated 162 patients with unresectable or metastatic neoplasms.
