According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT05002569) enrolled 1,093 people with melanoma — 547 in Treatment 1 and 546 in Treatment 2. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. The trial's main goal was to measure "Recurrence Free Survival" (RFS) — that is, how long people went without their cancer coming back or dying from any cause. It also tracked overall survival, how long people lived without the cancer spreading to distant parts of the body, and how participants fared on any follow-up treatment after the trial. The reported data shows that for the primary measure of Recurrence Free Survival, a result was only reported for Treatment 2, recorded as a median (middle value) of 33.84 months — meaning half of that group reached that point without a recurrence or death. No figure was reported for Treatment 1. For the remaining outcome measures — overall survival, spread of cancer to distant sites, and outcomes on follow-up treatment — the data was not reported for either group. Regarding safety-related events (unintended medical occurrences tracked during the trial), the reported data shows that 522 people in Treatment 1 and 520 in Treatment 2 experienced at least one such event; 483 in Treatment 1 and 438 in Treatment 2 had a serious event; 132 in Treatment 1 and 78 in Treatment 2 had an event that led to stopping treatment; 102 in Treatment 1 and 65 in Treatment 2 had an event considered related to the study drug; and 83 in Treatment 1 and 76 in Treatment 2 died.
