About this study

To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and the safety for the treatments on malignant melanoma by combining semiantigen dinitrophenyl (DNP) in situ immunotherapy and laser therapy, and carry out monitoring on related immunological parameters of the patients.

72 patients with stage III (b or c) or stage IV skin (which could not be excised by operations) malignant melanoma were treated by combining simple semiantigen DNP in situ immunotherapy and laser therapy respectively. The changes in peripheral blood CD4+CD25+Treg regulatory T cells (Treg), CD8+T, CD4+ T effector cells, IL-10, TGF-β and other inhibitory cytokines of the patients were detected, the changes in anti-DNP IgG antibody titer was monitored, the relationship between delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) and survival was observed, and results of clinical follow-ups were also examined.

What participants receive

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

  • dinitrophenyl(DNP)Drug

  • RadiationRadiation

    laser irradiation was carried out for 10 min, the power density of laser irradiation was 1W/cm2

Study groups in NCT02372708
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimentaldiluted dinitrophenyl(DNP) Vaseline (which equaled to 2% DNP 0.1ml) was started to be directly spread on the surfaces of primary or metastatic tumors of malignant melanoma patients since the first day of every circle of chemotherapy, simultaneously laser irradiation was carried out for 10 min, the power density of laser irradiation was 1W/cm2. The tumors were wrapped and blocked for two days to induce contact dermatitis. If lymph nodes had been cleared, sensibilization of 2×2cm was performed at occipital region. It was repeated once a week.
Receives: Drug: dinitrophenyl(DNP); Radiation: Radiation
Controlonly diluted DNP Vaseline was spread and the operation were the same with the treatment group
Receives: Drug: dinitrophenyl(DNP)

What is being measured

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

  1. ORR

    Patients who have complete regression or partial regression

    Measured: 6 weeks after administration whose achieve CR and PR

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. PFS

    Measured: From enrollment to progression or death, which up to 2 years

  2. OS

    Measured: From enrollment to death, which up to 2 years

  3. biomarker (peripheral blood CD4+CD25+Treg regulatory T cells (Treg), CD8+T, CD4+ T effector cells, IL-10, TGF-β)

    peripheral blood CD4+CD25+Treg regulatory T cells (Treg), CD8+T, CD4+ T effector cells, IL-10, TGF-β

    Measured: day 0 and day 2,5,10,20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Melanoma, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 0 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 26 Feb 2015. 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 China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

ORR (time frame: 6 weeks after administration whose achieve CR and PR). 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 26 Feb 2015.
