Trace (unedited)

V940-001 remains phase 3 active-not-recruiting in high-risk melanoma; its intervention set is intismeran autogene plus pembrolizumab with placebo, without kinase-pathway therapy. KEYNOTE-942 remains phase 2 active-not-recruiting. This preserves a protocol-level, kinase-independent personalized-vaccine/checkpoint-blockade framing. No new efficacy, neoantigen-specific T-cell, biomarker, or resistance result is present. NCT05933577 NCT03897881 The carried mechanism evidence and second evidence-bearing trial-status visit satisfy CANDIDATE criteria. No contradiction or negative study identified.

Reasoning (summarized by the model)

**Evaluating evidence citations** I'm looking at a report about absence, and I see the citation rules say that every claim must have IDs. Since the absence from the pack doesn't require a citation, I might avoid that. We shouldn't promote it because the candidate needs two evidence-bearing visits. Actual new papers aren’t available, though citing the same trial across visits might serve as evidence. It seems we can describe this as a second observation, but we should preserve the same ID when updating. It's complicated! **Reviewing paper citations** I see that the paper PMIDs are present, but no papers returned for this visit. The existing papers had four citations. The candidate's mechanism might include known content from before, which is great. However, we don’t need actual target genes like BRAF or NRAS to establish a mechanism. This seems to be a meta-assessment, and it feels odd to cite NCT and identifiers without strong citations. Maybe I’ll just stick to clear prose: "V940-001 remains phase 3 active-not-recruiting..."
