Who may be able to join
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic mucosal or acral-type melanoma, according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition stage III-IV.
- No prior systemic treatment for unresectable or metastatic melanoma; Prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy (except for disease progression to unresectable or metastatic melanoma during adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy or within 6 months after treatment discontinuation) was permitted.
- Have at least one measurable lesion (target lesion) according to RECIST v1.1. For lesions that have previously received radiotherapy or intratumoral injection, measurable lesions that progress to the criteria specified in RECIST1.1 after treatment may be considered.
- The target lesions of this study must be measured by imaging (enhanced CT or MRI. Plain scan CT or MRI can be accepted after communication with the sponsor if the subjects are allergic to contrast media or have other conditions that are not suitable for enhanced CT or MRI).
- Skin lesions or other superficial sites that cannot be repeatedly measured by imaging can only be used as non-target lesions.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing IBI363 and Pembrolizumab in people with Melanoma, run by Innovent Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. at 31 sites in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 31 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
IRRC-Progression Free Survival(PFS) (time frame: up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2026.
