Trial summary

Serial spirometries and measurements of CO-diffusion capacity (DLCO) in patients with MM before and during treatment with ipilimumab are performed. A reduction from baseline of forced vital capacity (FVC) of ≥10%, or ≥15% of DLCO was defined clinically meaningful, thus indicative for pulmonary toxicity. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Ipilimumab-induced Lung Toxicity: A Prospective Observational Study on Pulmonary Function Changes in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma

Serial spirometries and measurements of CO-diffusion capacity (DLCO) in patients with MM before and during treatment with ipilimumab are performed. A reduction from baseline of forced vital capacity (FVC) of ≥10%, or ≥15% of DLCO was defined clinically meaningful, thus indicative for pulmonary toxicity.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this prospective observational study is to determine the prevalence of ipilimumab lung toxicity defined by a significant decline of the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and/or forced vital capacity (FVC) in patients with MM.

Patients aged over 18 years with an established diagnosis of MM who are treated and followed up at the Department of Dermatology are asked to participate in the study after the indication for treatment with ipilimumab is given by the interdisciplinary skin tumorboard conference. After written informed consent is obtained, patients undergo a baseline evaluation (V1) including a medical history, physical examination, laboratory analyses (hemoglobin, leucocytes count, C-reactive protein, and pulmonary function tests (PFTs) with spirometry and measurement of DLCO. Thereafter, the first dose of ipilimumab (3mg/kg) is given intravenously over a period of 90 minutes without premedication. The subsequent three doses of ipilimumab are administered three weekly with analogue dose. Subsequent study visits (V2, V3, V4) including PFTs are scheduled on the same day as ipilimumab is administered. Thus, study visits are thoroughly adapted to the clinical visits, which is given by the administration of ipilimumab (total of four injections each separated by three weeks). In case of new respiratory symptoms during the study period, additional PFTs and a high-resolution computed tomography (HR-CT) of the chest are performed. In case of early study termination during follow-up pulmonary function test values which are already obtained are used for the final analysis.

  • Pulmonary FunctionOther

    Also called Spirometry and CO-diffusion capacity measurement

    Spirometry and DLCO were measured according to performance standards based on the statements from the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS). Values of DLCO were adjusted for the patient's current hemoglobin value, and the patients were asked to withhold cigarette smoking at least four hours before pulmonary function testing. Lung volumes and DLCO were measured with a commercial ZAN300 CO Diffusion system (nSpire Health GmbH, Oberthulba, Germany)

What is being measured

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

  1. Relative reduction of DLCO of more than 15% from the baseline value during follow-up

    A relative reduction of ≥15% from baseline of DLCO was chosen as clinically meaningful, thus indicative of a possible interstitial lung disease as a consequence of ipilimumab induced pulmonary toxicity

    Measured: 9 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Melanoma, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 28 Apr 2016. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Relative reduction of DLCO of more than 15% from the baseline value during follow-up (time frame: 9 weeks). 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 28 Apr 2016.
