About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Sequenced Chemotherapy With Dacarbazine and Carmustine With Neulasta® Support in Previously Treated Metastatic Melanoma

The purpose of this study is to determine whether dacarbazine and carmustine at the doses and schedule used in this study will help to increase tumor shrinkage.

Read the detailed description

In this phase II trial, patients with stage IV melanoma will be treated with dacarbazine and carmustine commonly used in this cancer, but given using a schedule that might theoretically improve on this combination. Patients on this study will be assessed in terms of toxicity, response rate, median duration of response, median time to disease progression, and median survival.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dacarbazine, Carmustine and Neulasta in people with Melanoma Metastatic, run by Western Regional Medical 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 7 inclusion and 4 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 4 Apr 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 2 Feb 2016). 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 (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 4 Apr 2018.
