Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess whether postoperative adjuvant therapy with mRNA-4157 and pembrolizumab improves recurrence free survival (RFS) compared to pembrolizumab alone in participants with complete resection of cutaneous melanoma and a high risk of recurrence.

Experimental: mRNA-4157 and Pembrolizumab
Participants 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.

Active Comparator: Pembrolizumab
Participants 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.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS), Assessed Using Radiological Imaging [ Time Frame: Up to 3 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.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS), Assessed Using Radiological Imaging [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]DMFS is defined as the time between the date of first dose of pembrolizumab and the date of the first distant metastasis or the date of death (whatever the cause), whichever occurs first.
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline through 100 days after last mRNA-4157 dose (for mRNA-4157 and Pembrolizumab combination arm) and up to 90 days after last pembrolizumab dose (for Pembrolizumab only arm) (up to a total of 3 years for both arms) ]
- Number of Participants Who Discontinued Due to AEs [ Time Frame: Baseline through 100 days after last mRNA-4157 dose (for mRNA-4157 and Pembrolizumab combination arm) and up to 90 days after last pembrolizumab dose (for Pembrolizumab only arm) (up to a total of 3 years for both arms) ]
