Replimune Group is conducting a pivotal Phase 3 clinical study titled ‘Randomized, Ph3 Clinical Study Comparing Vusolimogene Oderparepvec in Combination With Nivolumab Vs Treatment of Physician’s Choice in Patients With Advanced Melanoma That Progressed on Anti-PD-1 and Anti-CTLA-4 Containing Treatment [IGNYTE-3]’. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Vusolimogene Oderparepvec (VO) combined with Nivolumab against standard treatments chosen by physicians for patients with advanced melanoma that has not responded to previous therapies. This research is significant as it targets a challenging patient population with limited treatment options.
The interventions being tested include Vusolimogene Oderparepvec, a genetically modified Herpes Simplex Type 1 Virus, and Nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. These are compared against physician’s choice treatments, which may include Nivolumab, Nivolumab + Relatlimab, Pembrolizumab, or single-agent chemotherapy.
This study is designed as a randomized, controlled, multicenter, open-label trial with a parallel intervention model. There is no masking involved, and the primary purpose is treatment-focused, aiming to provide insights into the best therapeutic approach for this patient group.
The study began on January 29, 2024, with its primary completion and estimated overall completion dates yet to be announced. The most recent update was submitted on September 17, 2025, indicating ongoing recruitment and progress.
The outcome of this study could significantly influence Replimune’s stock performance and investor confidence, especially if the results demonstrate a clear advantage of VO and Nivolumab over existing treatments. This could also impact competitors in the melanoma treatment space, as new effective therapies could shift market dynamics.
The study is currently ongoing, with further details accessible on the ClinicalTrials portal.
