About this study
Official title: An Open Label, Dose Escalation, Phase I Clinical Trial of Adoptive Transfer With Autologous NKT Cells in Metastatic Melanoma Patients
Considerable progress in the treatment of metastatic melanoma has been made in the past 5years, with the approval of immune checkpoint-blocking antibodies and agents targeting BRAF mutation. Investigators conducted a open label, dose escalation, phase I clinical trial of to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of intravenous administration of autologous NKT Cells in metastatic melanoma patients.
Read the detailed description
Considerable progress in the immunotherapy of metastatic melanoma has been made in the past 5 years, with the approval of immune checkpoint-blocking antibodies. NKT cells are a potent immunoregulatory cell population heavily implicated in promoting immunity to infection and cancer. And now with new generation of amplification method, more than 1,000 folds amplification of NKT cells can be obtained, so NKT cell based adoptive cell transfer is now available and might show its efficacy in melanoma. Investigators conducted this open label, dose escalation, phase I clinical trial of to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of intravenous administration of autologous NKT Cells in metastatic melanoma patients.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of subjects experiencing at least one dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of intravenous administration of autologous NKT Cells in metastatic melanoma patients.
DLT is defined as any of the following toxicities assessed as at least possibly related to NKT cells by the investigator up to 28 days each cycle(up to 8 cycles,with 28 days' safety and efficacy follow-up after the end of the last cycle) after the end of adoptive transfer: any Grade greater than or equal to (>=) 3 non-hematological toxicity, but excluding the conditions mentioned in the protocol; any Grade 4 neutropenia of greater than (>)5 days duration or Grade >=3 febrile neutropenia; any Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding; any Grade 4 anemia.
Measured: 252 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing NKT cells in people with Melanoma, run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute 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 12 inclusion and 16 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 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.
What does this 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.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Chuanliang Cui, MD (861088196951, 1008ccl@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of subjects experiencing at least one dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of intravenous administration of autologous NKT Cells in metastatic melanoma patients. (time frame: 252 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02619058, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 Dec 2015.
