About this study

Official title: A Single Arm, Single-centre, Open-label, Exploratory Trial of Recombinant Interleukin-21 Administered Subcutaneously for 4 Weeks as Neo-adjuvant Treatment Prior to Sentinel Lymph Node/Complete Lymph Node Dissection Followed by 8 Weeks of Adjuvant Treatment in Subjects With Stage III Malignant Melanoma

The trial is conducted in Europe. This trial aims for a comparison of the pathology in lymph nodes before and after the effect of recombinant interleukin-21 in patients with stage III melanoma

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete pathological response rate in the lymph nodes

    Measured: After 4 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety

    Measured: For the duration of the trial

  2. Immunomodulatory effects

    Measured: For the duration of the trial

  3. Relapse free survival

    Measured: For up to 4 years after the final visit or until progression of the disease in order to assess the relapse free survival (RFS)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing recombinant interleukin-21 in people with Cancer and Malignant Melanoma, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 1 Mar 2017. 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 Germany. 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: See termination reason in detailed description). 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?

Complete pathological response rate in the lymph nodes (time frame: After 4 weeks of treatment). 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 1 Mar 2017.
