Eligible patients will include those with melanoma involving the regional lymph nodes and surrounding tissues as well as those with unresectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, nodal or soft tissue metastases.
  • Patients must have one or more tumor nodules accessible for direct injection.
  • Patients with metastases outside the treatment field may be enrolled if the sites of metastases do not limit survival expectancy to less than 3 months.
  • Patients must be unlikely to derive significant potential benefit from other treatment options and no other treatments should be anticipated during the study treatment period or a period of two months thereafter.
  • Patient's Karnofsky performance status must be greater than or equal to 70%.

Who cannot join

  • Chemotherapy or experimental medications within the last four weeks prior to Day 1.
  • Active disease of the central nervous system.
  • Baseline liver enzymes (AST, ALT, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase) greater than 3 times the upper limit normal.
  • Renal insufficiency (Serum creatinine greater than 2.0 mg/dL).
  • Coagulopathy (PT INR >1.5 or PTT ratio >1.5 in patients not receiving anticoagulants).
  • Significant anemia (e.g. hematocrit <28% or hemoglobin <9 g/dL). May have RBC transfusion, or thrombocytopenia (platelet count less than 100,000/μl); or leukopenia (WBC <3000/μl; ANC <1500/μl).
Show all 16Show fewer
  • Patients with documented history of deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, cerebrovascular disease, stroke, or TIA.
  • Patients with history of coagulopathy or known thrombophillic disorders.
  • Clinical evidence of active infection of any type, including hepatitis B or C virus.
  • Pregnant or lactating women. It is recommended that both men and women use condoms or another barrier method of birth control for at least 2 months following the last administration of TNFerade™ biologic and some form of birth control for at least 1 year.
  • Significant concurrent medical or psychiatric illness which, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the patient's ability to participate in the trial
  • Chronic systemic corticosteroid use, orally or parenterally administered.
  • Known sensitivity to lidocaine, procaine or amide local anesthetics (used for topical anesthesia).
  • Surgery within the last 4 weeks prior to day 1 (if patient was ambulatory within 48 hours of surgery, patient may be considered eligible)
  • Attempted resection of the tumor to be treated, or surgery on the area to be treated, with incomplete healing of surgical wound. (If the surgical wounds are completely healed and lesion continues to progress, patient may be enrolled.)
  • Patients with a history of clinical lymphedema in the area to be treated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TNFerade™ in people with Melanoma, run by GenVec at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. 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 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 phase mean?

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.

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 May 2011.
