Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic uveal melanoma.
  • Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as > or = to 20 mm with conventional techniques or as > or = to 10 mm with spiral CT scan.
  • Patients may have had any number of prior therapies, but cannot have previously been treated with a somatostatin analogue or an mTOR inhibitor. At least 3 weeks must have elapsed since the last dose of systemic therapy. At least 6 weeks must have elapsed if the last regimen included BCNU or mitomycin C. At least 3 months must have elapsed if the last regimen included an anti-CTLA4 antibody. If the last regimen included an anti-CTLA4 antibody, radiographic disease progression since this therapy must be documented.
  • Age > or = to 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of RAD001 and SOM230 in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study but will be eligible for future pediatric trials, if applicable.
  • Life expectancy of greater than 3 months.
  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1.

  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • leukocytes > or = to 3,000/mcL
  • absolute neutrophil count > or = to 1,500/mcL
  • platelets > or = to 100,000/mcL
  • hemoglobin > or = to 9.0 g/dL not requiring transfusions within the past 2 weeks
  • total bilirubin < 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal
  • AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal or creatinine clearance less than 60 ml/min
  • Fasting serum cholesterol ≤300 mg/dL OR ≤7.75 mmol/L AND fasting triglycerides ≤ 2.5 x ULN. NOTE: In case one or both of these thresholds are exceeded, the patient can only be included after initiation of appropriate lipid lowering medication.
  • INR ≤1.5. (Anticoagulation is allowed if target INR ≤ 1.5 on a stable dose of warfarin or on a stable dose of LMW heparin for >2 weeks at time of study initiation).
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days of the administration of the first study treatment. Women must not be lactating. Both men and women of childbearing potential must be advised of the importance of using effective birth control measures during the course of the study. Oral, implantable, or injectable contraceptives may be affected by cytochrome P450 interactions, and are therefore not considered effective for this study.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Evidence of disease progression, as determined by the investigator.

Who cannot join

  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Uncontrolled brain or leptomeningeal metastases, including patients who continue to require glucocorticoids for brain or leptomeningeal metastases. Treated brain metastases must have been stable for at least 2 months.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to RAD001 or SOM230.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or bleeding, severely impaired lung function, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because RAD001 and SOM230 are agents with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants, breast-feeding should be discontinued.
  • Patients with the presence of active or suspected acute or chronic uncontrolled infection or with a history of immunocompromise, including a positive HIV test result (ELISA and Western blot). The safety of a potentially immunosuppressive drug like everolimus is not proven in patients with HIV. HBV DNA and HCV RNA PCR testing are required at screening for all patients with a positive medical history based on risk factors and/or confirmation of prior HBV/HCV infection (see Section 8.0 and hepatitis B/C risk factor screening form.

  • Patients with prior or concurrent malignancy except for the following: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or other adequately treated in situ cancer, or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease free for five years.
  • Patients with a fasting plasma glucose > 1.5 ULN. Note: At the principle investigator's discretion, non-eligible patients can be re-screened after adequate medical therapy has been instituted.
  • Patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis.
  • Patients who have a history of alcohol or drug abuse in the 6 month period prior to receiving treatment with pasireotide or RAD001.
  • History of liver disease, such as cirrhosis or chronic active hepatitis B and C.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of RAD001 (Everolimus) and Pasireotide (SOM230) LAR in Patients With Advanced Uveal Melanoma

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the drugs everolimus and pasireotide have on the patient and on melanoma. Pasireotide is also called SOM-230. Pasireotide is an experimental drug and is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Everolimus is also called RAD001. Everolimus is approved for use in the U.S. for kidney cancer. Everolimus is not approved for treatment of melanomas, but early studies show that it may help some patients with melanoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RAD001 (Everolimus) and Pasireotide (SOM230) LAR in people with Uveal Melanoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 19 inclusion and 22 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 1 Aug 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Aug 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Complete Response (CR) (time frame: at 16 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 1 Aug 2017.
