About this study

Official title: T-cell Based Immunotherapy for Treatment of Patients With Disseminated Melanoma.

The aim of this study is to investigate the toxicity and clinical response of therapy with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes as treatment for advanced melanoma.

Patient will receive a single treatment consisting of conditioning chemotherapy for seven days (cyclophosphamide for two days and fludarabine for five days), intravenous infusion of high number of in vitro expanded tumor infiltrating lymphocytes followed by two weeks with daily low-dose interleukine-2. Patients will be evaluated for toxicity, tumor response, and immune response.

After the first 6 patients the treatment with IL-2 has been changed to include higher doses of IL-2 (see intervention)

What participants receive

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

  • cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, T-cells, Interleukin-2Biological

    Also called Cyclophosphamide, Sendoxan®, Baxter A/S, Fludarabine, Fludara®, Bayer Shering, Interleukin-2, Proleukin®, Chiron B.V.

    Two days of cyclophosphamide (60 mg/kg i.v.) and five days of fludarabine (25 mg/m2 i.v.). Infusion of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (10e9-10e10 cells). Followed by daily sc injections of 2 MIE Interleukin-2 for two weeks. After the first 6 patients the dose of IL-2 has been changed to an i.v. decrescendo regimen using 18 MIU/m2 infused over 6, 12 and 24 hours and then 4.5 MIU/m2 infused over 24 hours for three days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, T-cells, Interleukin-2 in people with Melanoma, run by Inge Marie Svane at 1 site in Denmark.

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 1 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 18 Aug 2015. 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 Denmark. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

toxicity (time frame: week 0 to 20). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00937625, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 18 Aug 2015.
