Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS), Assessed Using Radiological Imaging
Up to 7 years

RFS is defined as the time between the date of first dose of pembrolizumab and the date of recurrence (local, regional, or distant metastasis), new primary melanoma, or death (whatever the cause), whichever occurs first.

Number of Participants with Adverse Events
Part A and A2: Baseline through 100 days after last mRNA-4157 dose; Parts B, C, D, E1, E2, and E3: Baseline through 90 days after last pembrolizumab dose
Secondary Endpoints
Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS), Assessed Using Radiological Imaging
Up to 7 years
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Baseline through 100 days after last mRNA-4157 dose or up to 90 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab, whichever is later (for mRNA-4157 and Pembrolizumab combination arm) and up to 90 days after last pembrolizumab dose (for Pembrolizumab only arm)
Number of Participants Who Discontinued Due to AEs
Baseline through 100 days after last mRNA-4157 dose or up to 90 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab, whichever is later (for mRNA-4157 and Pembrolizumab combination arm) and up to 90 days after last pembrolizumab dose (for Pembrolizumab only arm)

mRNA-4157 and PembrolizumabEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive up to 9 doses of mRNA-4157 (every 21 days). Participants may continue on pembrolizumab (every 21 days) until disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity, or they undergo up to 18 total cycles (approximately 1 year of treatment), whichever is sooner.
PembrolizumabACTIVE_COMPARATORParticipants will receive pembrolizumab (every 21 days) until disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity, or they undergo up to 18 total cycles (approximately 1 year of treatment), whichever is sooner.
Part A: Dose Escalation and Dose ExpansionEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive mRNA-4157 via an intramuscular (IM) injection on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 9 cycles.
Part B: Dose Escalation and Dose ExpansionEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive mRNA-4157 via an IM injection on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 9 cycles and pembrolizumab via IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or up to 35 cycles (approximately 2 years of treatment), whichever is sooner.
Part A2: Dose ExpansionEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive mRNA-4157 via an IM injection on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle and a SoC treatment every 2 weeks (Q2W) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle starting from Cycle 5 of mRNA-4157 for up to 12 cycles.
Part C: Dose ExpansionEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive mRNA-4157 via IM injection on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 9 cycles and pembrolizumab via IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or up to 35 cycles (approximately 2 years of treatment), whichever is sooner.
Part D: Dose ExpansionEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive mRNA-4157 via IM injection on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 9 cycles and pembrolizumab via IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or up to 18 cycles (approximately 1 year of treatment), whichever is sooner.
Part E1: Dose ExpansionEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive mRNA-4157 via IM injection on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, pembrolizumab every 6 weeks (Q6W) via IV infusion, and SoC chemotherapy every 3 weeks (Q3W) for up to 4 cycles during the perioperative and adjuvant phases.
Part E2: Dose ExpansionEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive mRNA-4157 via IM injection on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, pembrolizumab Q6W via IV infusion, and SoC chemotherapy Q3W for up to 4 cycles during the perioperative and adjuvant phases.
Part E3: Dose ExpansionEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive mRNA-4157 via IM injection on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, pembrolizumab Q3W via IV infusion, and SoC chemotherapy Q2W or Q3W for up to 4 cycles during the perioperative and adjuvant phases.
