About this study

Official title: Surgery of Melanoma Metastases After Systemic Therapy - the SUMMIST Trial

To evaluate if surgical removal of residual disease adds benefit in stage IV melanoma patients with partial response or stable disease after a minimum 9 months of first-line PD-1 inhibition. Primary endpoint: Disease-free survival (DFS) at 12 months.

Read the detailed description

A Phase II Randomized Controlled Open-Label Parallel Group Interventional Multicenter Trial. Patients with metastatic melanoma, stratified for stage M1a or M1b/M1c, that have received first-line treatment with PD-1 inhibitors for a minimum of 9 months resulting in either partial response or stable disease according to RECIST 1.1 will be eligible. Patients will be screened for operability based on CT-scans examined by a multidisciplinary team, with the criteria that complete (R0) resection of all metastases should be possible. If the multidisciplinary team find that this would be possible, patients will be included and randomized 1:1 to either surgery with continued PD1-inhibition or current standard of care with continued PD1-inhibition only. At progression, treatment will be according to the treating medical oncologist. Active follow-up will be performed for 12 months.

What participants receive

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

  • Surgical metastasectomyProcedure or surgery

    Surgical removal of metastases aimed at R0 resection.

  • ImmunotherapyDrug

    Continued PD1-inhibitor treatment according to current treatment standards.

Study groups in NCT04242329
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PD1-inhibitor + surgeryExperimentalPatients randomised to the interventional study arm, receiving both surgical metastasectomy and continued immunotherapy. Each patient case will be individually planned for surgery. Procedures will include, but will not be limited to, lung resections, liver resections, bowel resection, skin excisions and lymph node clearances. Patients in both study arms will continue with PD-1 inhibitor 12 months after randomization, and will then be treated according to their medical oncologist.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Surgical metastasectomy and Immunotherapy in people with Melanoma and Melanoma Stage IV, run by Vastra Gotaland Region at 1 site in Sweden.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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 26 Jan 2024. 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 Sweden. 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?

DFS 12 months (time frame: 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 26 Jan 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
