What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the efficacy of TLN-232 in patients with recurrent metastatic melanoma measured by overall response rate at 16 weeks from date of initial infusion of TLN-232 (Day 1, Cycle 1).

    Measured: Complete response, partial response or stable disease at 16 weeks from date of initial infusion of TLN-232 (Day 1, Cycle 1)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To examine the safety and tolerability of TLN-232 in patients with recurrent metastatic melanoma

    Measured: Maximum 13 months from date of initial infusion of TLN-232 (Day 1, Cycle 1)
