About this study

Official title: Combination of IDO/Survivin Peptide Vaccine, GM-CSF, Imiquimod and Temozolomide Chemotherapy for Patients With Metastatic Malignant Melanoma

The aim of the study is to assess if treatment with IDO/Survivin peptide vaccine can enhance the efficacy of temozolomide chemotherapy in patients with metastatic malignant melanoma.

Read the detailed description

Secondarily to studying the efficacy of the treatment; the investigators examine if treatment with IDO/Survivin peptide can induce a measurable cellular T-cell response when the vaccine is given in combination with temozolomide treatment for melanoma patients.

Being tested
Chemotherapy: Temozolomide
Keywords
Indeolamine 2,3 dioxygenase, Survivin, Montanide, Imiquimod, GMCSF

What participants receive

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

  • Chemotherapy: TemozolomideDrug

    Vaccine: 250 microgram IDO5 peptide + 250 microgram Survivin peptide + 500 microL Montanide every 2nd week Adjuvants: 75 microgram GM-CSF + 1 application Imiquimod every 2nd week

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical benefit rate (CBR)

    Primary endpoint is clinical benefit rate defined as complete remission rate + partial response + stable disease for a minimum of 6 months plus assessment of time to progression (TTP).

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Chemotherapy: Temozolomide in people with Malignant 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 18 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 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 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Diminished rectruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Clinical benefit rate (CBR) (time frame: 18 months). 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 19 Mar 2018.
