About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label, Two-Stage Study of Volociximab (M200) for the Treatment of Subjects With Metastatic Melanoma

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, research study determining the effects of an investigational drug called volociximab in metastatic melanoma.

The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical benefit and safety of volociximab. Pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action will also be evaluated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • volociximabDrug

    Volociximab, 15 mg/kg, IV infusion once a week for 8 weeks. Subjects who achieved SD or better at Day 50 ± 2 days (Week 8) were eligible to continue receiving weekly infusions of volociximab until disease progression.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate at the Week 8 visit, defined as the number of subjects who have not progressed by the Week 8 visit

    Measured: 8 weeks intervals

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pharmacokinetics of volociximab

    Measured: Every infusion and follow up visit

  2. Assess safety by recording and evaluating adverse events (AEs); changes in vital signs, hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis parameters; and anti-volociximab antibody formation

    Measured: Throught study and follow up period,approx. 15 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing volociximab in people with Stage IV Melanoma, run by Abbott at 7 sites 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 11 inclusion and 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: Insufficient clinical activity). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate at the Week 8 visit, defined as the number of subjects who have not progressed by the Week 8 visit (time frame: 8 weeks intervals). 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 27 Apr 2012.
