Trial summary

This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic body radiotherapy and ipilimumab work in treating patients with stage IV melanoma. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Read more about this study

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

  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of melanoma

Who cannot join

  • Prior systemic therapy within 14 days of study enrollment; patients must be adequately recovered from prior systemic therapy side effects as deemed by the treating investigator
  • Clinical contraindication to stereotactic body radiotherapy (e.g. active systemic sclerosis, active inflammatory bowel disease if bowel is within target field, etc)

About this study

Official title: RADVAX: A Stratified Phase II Dose Escalation Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy Followed by Ipilimumab in Metastatic Melanoma

This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic body radiotherapy and ipilimumab work in treating patients with stage IV melanoma. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, target certain cells to interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving SBRT with ipilimumab may kill more tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine feasibility and immune-related clinical responses associated with SBRT when given in conjunction with ipilimumab.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine late toxicity and immune pharmacodynamic changes after SBRT followed by ipilimumab.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo a total of 3 fractions of stereotactic body radiotherapy between days 1-13. Patients then receive ipilimumab intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up within 60 days, and then every effort will be made to obtain records of patients during this follow up, and permission will be sought for the investigators and/or study team to re-contact the patient directly with regard to health status and toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Immune-related Clinical Response, Defined as Proportion of Patients Treated at the Maximum-tolerated Dose (MTD) Who Achieve Either a Complete or Partial Immune-related Response

    Scored on a non-index lesion using immune-related response criteria according to immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. The number of immune-related responses will be tabled by stratum and SBRT fraction dose level. At the MTD, the immune-related response rate and 95% exact confidence interval will be estimated separately for previously untreated and previously treated metastatic patients.

    Measured: Up to 60 days after last ipilimumab injection

  2. Immune-related Progression-free Survival (irPFS)

    irPFS will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method separately for previously untreated and previously treated metastatic patients who were treated at the MTD..

    For some patients no scans were available for irRECIST reads, in which case change of management was determined to be the point of progression.

    Measured: Time from first day of radiotherapy to first documented immune-related progressive disease, death due to any cause or last patient contact alive and progression-free, assessed at 6 months

  3. Late Toxicities, Graded According to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group/European Organization for Research, the Treatment of Cancer Late Morbidity Scoring System, and the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0

    Defined generally as an adverse event associated with the treatment which occurs beyond 30 days after last injection (i.e., adverse events which are observed months after treatment are most likely associated with SBRT). All dose-limiting toxicities and late toxicities will be graded and tabled by lesion site stratum and SBRT fraction dose level. Toxicity attribution to either SBRT or ipilimumab will be described if possible.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  4. Overall Survival

    Will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method separately for previously untreated and previously treated metastatic patients who were treated at the MTD.

    Measured: Time from first day of radiotherapy to death due to any cause or last patient contact alive, assessed at 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ipilimumab, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Pharmacological Study in people with Recurrent Melanoma and Stage IV Skin Melanoma, run by University of Washington 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 5 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 13 Feb 2020. 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 13 Feb 2020). 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?

Immune-related Clinical Response, Defined as Proportion of Patients Treated at the Maximum-tolerated Dose (MTD) Who Achieve Either a Complete or Partial Immune-related Response (time frame: Up to 60 days after last ipilimumab injection). The study lists 4 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 13 Feb 2020.
