What participants receive

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

  • Melanoma antigens-specific CD8+ T lymphocytesBiological

    The intervention uses an autologous somatic cell therapy medicinal product. It consists in the intravenous injection of melanoma antigens (Melan-A and MELOE-1) - specific CD8+ T lymphocytes followed by subcutaneous injections of Proleukin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical and biological safety defined by the NCI (Common Toxicity Criteria - Version 4.0, may 2009, http:// ctep.cancer.gov)

    Serious adverse effects of grade 3 and 4 will be considered to decide the suspension of inclusion

    Measured: Until disease progression during the follow-up period of the study (12 months)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Measured: From the date of the first treatment until the date of the first documented progression or the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years

  2. Overall survival

    Measured: From the date of the first treatment until the date of death, assessed up to 2 years

  3. Overall tumor response (complete response, partial response, stable disease) evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) and immune-related Response Criteria (irRC)

    Measured: At 12 months

  4. Duration of clinical responses defined as the time interval between the evaluation of the first objective response or stable disease and the first evaluation of disease progression

    Measured: At 12 months

  5. Persistence of injected specific T cells evaluated by immunomonitoring

    Measured: At 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Melanoma antigens-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes in people with Metastatic Melanoma, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 20 inclusion and 15 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 18 Jan 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 France. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 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?

Clinical and biological safety defined by the NCI (Common Toxicity Criteria - Version 4.0, may 2009, http:// ctep.cancer.gov) (time frame: Until disease progression during the follow-up period of the study (12 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 18 Jan 2020.
