About this study

Official title: Pilot Study to Identify Biomarkers That May Predict Response to High Dose IL-2

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at biomarkers that predict response to high-dose aldesleukin in patients with metastatic kidney cancer or metastatic melanoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the relationship of peripheral blood lymphocyte phenotype pattern in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma or metastatic melanoma to response to high-dose aldesleukin (IL-2).
  • Determine the relationship of peripheral blood mononuclear cells gene microarray patterns in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma or metastatic melanoma to response to high-dose IL-2.
  • Determine the frequency of mutations on genes encoding for IL-2 receptor A and B.

OUTLINE: Patients receive high-dose aldesleukin (IL-2) as part of standard treatment on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo blood collection at baseline, prior to beginning course 2, and 4 weeks after the completion of course 2. Samples are analyzed using peripheral blood cytometry, gene microarray analysis, and IL-2 receptor single-nucleotide polymorphism techniques.

Being tested
aldesleukin, gene expression analysis, mutation analysis, flow cytometry
Keywords
stage IV renal cell cancer, stage IV melanoma
Medical subject headings
Kidney Neoplasms, Melanoma, Carcinoma, Renal Cell

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Relationship of peripheral blood lymphocyte phenotype to response to high-dose aldesleukin (IL-2)

    Relationship of peripheral blood lymphocyte phenotype to response to high-dose aldesleukin (IL-2) from blood draws at baseline, prior to course 2 and 4 weeks after course 2

    Measured: 10 weeks

  2. Relationship of peripheral blood mononuclear cells gene microarray patterns to response to high-dose IL-2

    Relationship of peripheral blood mononuclear cells gene microarray patterns to response to high-dose IL-2 from blood draws at baseline, prior to course 2 and 4 weeks after course 2

    Measured: 10 weeks

  3. Frequency of mutations on genes encoding IL-2 receptor A and B

    Frequency of mutations on genes encoding IL-2 receptor A and B from blood draws at baseline, prior to course 2 and 4 weeks after course 2

    Measured: 10 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Cancer and Melanoma (Skin), run by University of Nebraska 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 10 Oct 2023. 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.

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?

Relationship of peripheral blood lymphocyte phenotype to response to high-dose aldesleukin (IL-2) (time frame: 10 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Oct 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
