  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be willing to abstain from heterosexual intercourse or to use 2 forms of effective methods of contraception from the time of informed consent until 5 months after the last dose of study drug. The two contraception methods can be comprised of two barrier methods, or a barrier method plus a hormonal method. Examples include: intrauterine device (IUD), vasectomy of a female subject's male partner, contraceptive rod implanted into the skin, or use of two of the following: diaphragm with spermicide (cannot be used in conjunction with cervical cap/spermicide), cervical cap with spermicide (nulliparous women only), contraceptive sponge (nulliparous women only), male condom or female condom (cannot be used together), hormonal contraceptive.*Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception for the subject. NOTE: Male subjects are not required to utilize contraception. The study regimen is not genotoxic and systemic concentrations sufficient to produce a risk of fetal toxicity are not expected in WOCBP partners from exposure to a male participant's seminal fluid.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding (NOTE: breast milk cannot be stored for future use while the mother is being treated on study).

About this study

Official title: Single Arm Phase II Study of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab as Adjuvant Therapy for Resected Mucosal Melanoma (SALVO Study). HCRN: MEL16-252

This is a single arm phase II clinical trial of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in patients with resected mucosal melanoma. Ipilimumab (1 mg/kg) and Nivolumab (3 mg/kg) will be administered Day 1 of a 21-day cycle in Cycles 1-4 and then nivolumab 480 mg will be administered Day 1 of a 28-day cycle for Cycles 5-15 (maximum of 15) or until disease recurrence or intolerance before completion of 15 cycles.

Read the detailed description

Ipilimumab and Nivolumab Combination Administration

  • Ipilimumab 1mg/kg given IV Day 1 for 3 weeks (21 days), for 4 cycles
  • Nivolumab 3mg/kg given IV Day 1 for 3 weeks (21 days), for 4 cycles

Nivolumab Alone Administration

  • Nivolumab 480mg given IV Day 1 for 4 weeks (28 days), for 5-15 cycles

Nivolumab is to be administered as an approximately 30-minute IV infusion (± 10 minutes). At the end of the infusion, flush the line with a sufficient quantity of normal saline.

Ipilimumab is to be administered as an approximately 30-minute IV infusion (± 10 minutes). At the end of the infusion, flush the line with a sufficient quantity of normal saline or 5% dextrose solution.

When both study drugs are to be administered on the same day, separate infusion bags and filters must be used for each infusion. Nivolumab is to be administered first. The nivolumab infusion must be promptly followed by a saline flush to clear the line of nivolumab before starting the ipilimumab infusion. The second infusion will always be ipilimumab, and will start at least 30 minutes after completion of the nivolumab infusion.

The dosing calculations should be based on the body weight from Cycle 1 Day 1. If the subject's weight on the day of dosing differs by > 5% from the weight used to calculate the dose, the dose should be recalculated based on the current day of treatment weight. All doses should be rounded to the nearest milligram. There will be no dose modifications allowed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess Recurrence-free survival time (RFS)

    Date the patient receives the first dose of study medication to the date of documentation of first disease recurrence or death due to any cause.

    Measured: 1.5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assess the Adverse Events

    Adverse events will be graded and attribution assigned using CTCAE version 4

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    The time from registration to death due to any cause

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in people with Mucosal Melanoma, run by Robert R. McWilliams, MD at 7 sites 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 20 inclusion and 21 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Assess Recurrence-free survival time (RFS) (time frame: 1.5 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 9 Dec 2022.
