  • Women who are using oral contraceptives, other hormonal contraceptives (vaginal products, skin patches, or implanted or injectable products), or mechanical products such as an intrauterine device or barrier methods (diaphragm, condoms, spermicides) to prevent pregnancy, or are practicing abstinence or where their partner is sterile (eg, vasectomy) should be considered to be of childbearing potential. WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 72 hours before the start of ipilimumab.

Who cannot join

  • Any other malignancy form which the patient has been disease-free for less than 2 years, with the exception of adequately treated and cured basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
  • Autoimmune disease: Patients with a history of inflammatory bowel disease are excluded from this study, as are patients with a history of symptomatic disease (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic progressive sclerosis [scleroderma], systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune vasculitis [eg, Wegener's Granulomatosis]); motor neuropathy considered of autoimmune origin (e.g. Guillain-Barre Syndrome).
  • Any underlying medical or psychiatric condition, which in the opinion of the investigator will make the administration of ipilimumab hazardous or obscure the interpretation of AEs, such as a condition associated with frequent diarrhea.
  • Patients with underlying heart conditions who are deemed ineligible for surgery by cardiology consult
  • Any history of prior treatment with ipilimumab or prior CD137 agonist or CTLA-4 inhibitor or agonist.
  • Concomitant therapy with any of the following: IL-2, interferon, or other non-study immunotherapy regimens; immunosuppressive agents; other investigation therapies; or chronic use of systemic corticosteroids.

  • have a positive pregnancy test at baseline, or
  • are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Prisoners or subjects who are compulsorily detained (involuntarily incarcerated) for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (eg, infectious) illness.
  • Persons of reproductive potential must agree to use an adequate method of contraception throughout treatment and for at least 8 weeks after ipilimumab is stopped.
  • Sexually active WOCBP must use an effective method of birth control during the course of the study, in a manner such that risk of failure is minimized. Before study enrollment, WOCBP must be advised of the importance of avoiding pregnancy during study participation and the potential risk factors for an unintentional pregnancy. All WOCBP MUST have a negative pregnancy test before first receiving ipilimumab. If the pregnancy test is positive, the patient must not receive ipilimumab and must not be enrolled in the study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of The Addition of Ipilimumab (MDX-010) To Isolated Limb Infusion (ILI) With Standard Melphalan and Dactinomycin In The Treatment of Advanced Unresectable Melanoma of The Extremity

The purpose of this study is to see the effect of adding a systemic study drug, Ipilimumab, to two standard chemotherapy drugs, Melphalan and Dactinomycin. The study drug Ipilimumab is an antibody to a normal protein found in the body, CTLA-4. This protein normally allows the immune system (the body's natural defense system that helps fight infections) uses to quiet an immune response. The study drug works by blocking this protein and allowing the immune system to become more active. This study will investigate the effects, of combining ILI (using two standard drugs to treat melanoma, Melphalan and Dactinomycin), with the study drug, Ipilimumab on advanced Melanoma cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • Ipilimumab, Melphalan and DactinomycinDrug

    Isolated limb infusion ((ILI) with Melphalan and Dactinomycin- MSKCC operating room. Ipilimumab- IV administration in outpatient chemotherapy clinic. Induction therapy with Ipilimumab will start 1-3 weeks after ILI in the standard dose of 10mg/kg every 3 weeks for a total of 4 doses. Patients will then receive chronic therapy every 3 months. Patients will be followed every 3 months for 2 years.

Ipilimumab, Melphalan and DactinomycinExperimentalThis is a single-institution phase II trial with a primary outcome of progression free survival (PFS).
Receives: Drug: Ipilimumab, Melphalan and Dactinomycin

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival at One Year.

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Toxicity of Additional Ipilimumab Will be Evaluated for All Treated Patients Using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 3.0

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To Determine Response Rates of Combination Therapy. Tumor Assessment Will be Measured by the Immune Related Response Criteria (irRC).

    Progression free survival, from time of ILI, will be determined by measuring the index lesions, non-index lesions, and new lesions as described below. Patients with deep lesions will have repeat CT Scan evaluation to quantitate the lesions.

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

    Measured: 2 years

  3. To Define the Immunologic Events and Signatures at the Tumor Site and in the Periphery That Corresponds to Response to Ipilimumab.

    Summaries of antibody response, comparison of pretreatment with post-ipilimumab and end of treatment will be assessed for percent of CD4, CD8, and CD68 positive cells

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ipilimumab, Melphalan and Dactinomycin in people with 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 16 inclusion and 13 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 15 May 2018. 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 15 May 2018). 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?

Progression Free Survival at One Year. (time frame: 1 year). 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 15 May 2018.
