3. Participant is assessed as having at least one resectable lesion (or aggregate lesions) for lifileucel generation.
4. Participant must have at least one measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1 following tumor resection.
5. Participants must have adequate organ function.
6. Participants of childbearing potential or those with partners of childbearing potential must be willing to practice an approved method of highly effective birth control.

About the study

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel group, treatment study to assess the efficacy and safety of lifileucel in combination with pembrolizumab compared with pembrolizumab alone in participants with untreated, unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Participants randomized to the pembrolizumab monotherapy arm who subsequently have a blinded independent central review- verified confirmed progressive disease (PD) will be offered lifileucel monotherapy in an optional crossover period.
