About this study
Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of a Human Anti-Idiotypic Monoclonal Antibody Vaccine (4B5) Which Mimics the GD2 Antigen, in Patients With Melanoma
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV melanoma at high risk for recurrence following surgery to remove the tumor.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the toxicity of the human anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody vaccine (4B5) plus adjuvant sargramostim (GM-CSF) or alum in patients with stage III or IV melanoma at high risk for recurrence following surgical resection. II. Determine whether 4B5 is associated with the development of humoral and/or cellular anti-anti-idiotypic immune response in these patients. III. Determine whether the immune response generated against 4B5 is also directed against the melanoma-associated GD2 antigen in these patients. IV. Determine whether the 4B5 plus adjuvant GM-CSF or alum can elicit an immune response to GD2 in these patients.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned sequentially to one of two treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive human anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody vaccine (4B5) in sargramostim (GM-CSF) subcutaneously (SQ) on days 0, 14, 28, and 42. Patients receive GM-CSF alone SQ at vaccination site on days 2, 3, and 4 following immunization. Arm II: Patients receive 4B5 plus alum SQ on days 0, 14, 28, and 42. Cohorts of 5 patients receive treatment every 2 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 50 patients (25 per arm) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing monoclonal antibody 4B5 anti-idiotype vaccine, sargramostim and alum adjuvant in people with Melanoma (Skin), run by University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Compare AEs and SAES in subjects receiving 4B5 plus adjuvant sargramostim (GM-CSF) to alum in patients with stage III or IV melanoma at high risk for recurrence following surgical resection. (time frame: Baseline to last dose of study drug). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Apr 2013.
