Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have a histologic diagnosis of metastatic melanoma. Patients may have received prior systemic therapy or may be previously untreated.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Moderate Dose Bolus Interleukin-2 in Metastatic Melanoma

To determine whether Interleukin-2 at the dose and schedule will help to increase tumor shrinkage

Read the detailed description

In this phase II trial, the previously described IL-2 schedule (daily IL-2 for 5 days (per week) every 3 weeks) will be tested in a larger cohort of patients with melanoma to attempt to determine the response rate, median duration of response, and median survival. The dose intensity of this schedule would allow a patient treated on this regimen to achieve the target threshold (> 1440 million IU/m2/year).

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    Radiographic studies to evaluate for response were done after every 2 cycles (6 weeks) until disease progression or death from any cause up to 2 years. Standard RECIST response criteria were utilized. Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by CT scan: 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 Rate (ORR) = 100%(CR + PR/total number of patients receiving Interleukin-2).

    Measured: Measured until Disease Progression or death from any cause up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Median Duration of Response

    Duration of response is calculated as the time (months) from the date at which response is first observed (per standard Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors [RECIST] to the date of first observed disease progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years. The actual date of tumor assessments was used for this calculation. 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 one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Measured until Disease Progression or death from any cause up to 2 years

  2. Median Survival

    Measured from date of entry on study until date of death

    Measured: From time of study entry until death, up to 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Interleukin-2 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 9 inclusion and 6 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 5 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 7 Feb 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?

Response Rate (time frame: Measured until Disease Progression or death from any cause up to 2 years). 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 5 Apr 2018.
