About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Adjuvant Nivolumab or Expectant Observation Following Neoadjuvant Ipilimumab Plus Nivolumab and Surgical Resection of High-Risk Localized, Locoregionally Advanced, or Recurrent Mucosal Melanoma

This randomized phase II trial studies how well nivolumab or expectant observation following ipilimumab, nivolumab, and surgery work in treating patients with high-risk mucosal melanoma that is restricted to the site of origin without evidence of spread, has spread to a local and regional area of the body, or has come back. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Sometimes the mucosal melanoma may not need more treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. It is not known if nivolumab or expectant observation following ipilimumab, nivolumab, and surgery may be better in treating patients with mucosal melanoma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Recurrence free survival (RFS) in patients with mucosal melanoma (MM) treated with neoadjuvant ipilimumab plus nivolumab and surgery followed by adjuvant nivolumab and expectant observation.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Pathologic complete response with neoadjuvant ipilimumab plus nivolumab. II. Distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) with adjuvant nivolumab and expectant observation.

III. Overall survival (OS) with adjuvant nivolumab and expectant observation. IV. Safety/toxicity as measured by maximum grade adverse event in (a) the neoadjuvant setting, (b) the adjuvant nivolumab cohort after randomization, and (c) the observation cohort after randomization.

  1. Rate of delayed primary surgery.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Demonstrate that baseline tumors harboring a higher neoepitope burden have superior median RFS than those who have a lower neoepitope burden in the arm receiving adjuvant nivolumab.

II. Demonstrate that tumors with higher CD8+ infiltration at the tumor invasive margin at surgical resection have superior median RFS than those with lower CD8+ infiltration.

III. Demonstrate that tumors harboring a "T cell inflamed" ribonucleic acid (RNA) expression signature at surgical resection following neoadjuvant nivolumab plus ipilimumab have a superior distant RFS than those harboring a "non-T cell inflamed" signature, both in the overall group and within those who receive adjuvant nivolumab.

IV. Identify recurrent genetic alterations at baseline that are associated with higher CD8+/PD1+ infiltration at baseline and following 1 dose of neoadjuvant nivolumab plus ipilimumab.

  1. Tumor response rate will be estimated based on patients whose imaging are captured and submitted during the neo-adjuvant portion of the study (imaging is not required).

OUTLINE:

PART I: Patients receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes and ipilimumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Within 3-6 weeks after receiving nivolumab and ipilimumab, patients undergo surgery per standard of care. Within 84 days of last surgical resection, patients may also undergo adjuvant radiation therapy (RT), if clinically appropriate.

PART II: Within 84 days of last surgical resection, patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients undergo active surveillance for 1 year.

ARM II: Patients receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes once every 2 weeks for 4 doses. Patients then continue to receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes once every 4 weeks for up to 11 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 90 days for 2 years, every 180 days for 3 years or until disease progression, whichever is first, and every 6 months thereafter until a maximum of 5 years following registration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recurrence free survival (RFS)

    RFS of patients receiving adjuvant nivolumab will be compared to patients undergoing observation. Kaplan- Meier curves will be constructed and median RFS times will be calculated for each arm.

    Measured: From randomization to either adjuvant nivolumab or observation until evidence of disease recurrence, assessed up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS)

    Will be evaluated using the Kaplan- Meier method. Median times to DRFS will be calculated for each arm and a cox proportional hazards model will be constructed to determine if there is a DRFS benefit for patients in the adjuvant Nivolumab arm (compared to observation).

    Measured: From randomization to either adjuvant nivolumab or observation until a distant recurrence is observed, assessed up to 5 years

  2. Incidence of adverse events evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0

    Maximum grade adverse events will be summarized in each of the following settings: during the neo-adjuvant phase of the trial (i.e. from registration until a patient is randomized to adjuvant nivolumab or observation), the adjuvant nivolumab arm after randomization, he observation arm after randomization.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Overall survival (OS)

    Will be evaluated using the Kaplan- Meier method. Median OS times will be calculated for each arm and a cox proportional hazards model will be constructed to determine if there is a DRFS benefit for patients in the adjuvant Nivolumab arm (compared to observation).

    Measured: From randomization to either adjuvant nivolumab or observation until death due to any cause; assessed up to 5 years

  4. Rate of delayed surgery

    Reasons for delay will be summarized and the rate of delay will be calculated along with a 95% confidence interval using the properties of the binomial distribution.

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks after registration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Conventional Surgery, Ipilimumab and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Cervical Carcinoma and Esophageal Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 66 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2018. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Recurrence free survival (RFS) (time frame: From randomization to either adjuvant nivolumab or observation until evidence of disease recurrence, assessed up to 5 years). 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 3 Oct 2018.
