TARRYTOWN, N.Y., May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today reviewed results from the Phase 3 trial evaluating two dose levels of fianlimab (LAG-3 inhibitor) in combination with cemiplimab (PD-1 inhibitor) as a first-line treatment for patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic melanoma. The trial did not reach statistical significance for the primary endpoint of improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared to pembrolizumab (PD-1 inhibitor) monotherapy. No new safety signals were identified with the fianlimab combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Phase 3 head-to-head trial, also in first-line unresectable or metastatic melanoma, evaluating the high-dose fianlimab combination versus Opdualag\u00ae <\/sup>(nivolumab and relatlimab-rmbw) is ongoing.<\/p>\n

The potential uses of fianlimab and cemiplimab described above are investigational, and safety and efficacy of this combination have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority.<\/p>\n

\n About the Phase 3 Trial<\/strong>
\n
This randomized, double-blind Phase 3 trial is investigating the combination of fianlimab and cemiplimab versus pembrolizumab in patients 12 years of age or older with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic melanoma who have not received a previous systemic treatment for advanced disease. The trial enrolled 1,546 patients who were randomized to receive either: 1600 mg\u00a0fianlimab\u00a0and\u00a0350 mg\u00a0cemiplimab (high-dose combination)\u00a0every 3 weeks; 400 mg\u00a0fianlimab\u00a0and\u00a0350 mg\u00a0cemiplimab\u00a0(low-dose combination) every 3 weeks; placebo and 200 mg\u00a0pembrolizumab\u00a0every 3 weeks; or placebo and 350 mg cemiplimab every 3 weeks.<\/p>\n
