Study of Immune Responses in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma

March 6, 2013 updated by: Providence Health & Services

Phase II Exploratory Study of Immune Responses in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma Treated With Mouse Monoclonal Anti-OX40

In this study, anti-OX40 will be given to patients with melanoma to find out how the immune system responds to treatment with anti-OX40. It is hoped that this treatment will cause an immune response against melanoma resulting in tumor regression, but this is not known at this time. Anti-OX40 is a large protein that can help immune cells that fight bacteria, viruses and cancer cells.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Withdrawn

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with measurable or evaluable unresectable, stage IV metastatic melanoma. Either histologic or cytologic diagnosis is acceptable.
  2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0, or 1 (Appendix A.)
  3. Age 18 years or above.

  4. Laboratory values (performed within 28 days prior to enrollment) as follows:

    • WBC ≥2000/microliter
    • Absolute lymphocyte count >300/mm3
    • Serum creatinine <1.5 X upper limit of laboratory normal
    • Hgb >8g/dl (patients may be transfused to reach this level)
    • Hct > 24%
    • Platelets >100,000 cells/mm3
    • Total bilirubin <1.5 X upper limit of laboratory normal, unless due to Gilbert's disease
    • AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) <2.5 X upper limit of laboratory normal
    • Alkaline phosphatase <2.5 X upper limit of laboratory normal
    • HIV Negative
    • Hepatitis B surface antigen Negative
    • Hepatitis C antibody Negative
  5. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and must avoid becoming pregnant while on treatment. Men must avoid fathering a child while on treatment. This exclusion is required due to the unknown toxicities that anti-OX40 may have on the forming fetus, spermatogenesis or the nursing child. Also, because pregnancy may impair immune function it may limit the treatment efficacy.
  6. Ability to give informed consent and comply with the protocol. Patients with a history of psychiatric illness must be judged able to understand fully the investigational nature of the study and the risks associated with the therapy.
  7. No active bleeding.
  8. No clinical coagulopathy (INR <1.5, PT <16 seconds, PTT < 38 seconds).
  9. Anticipated lifespan greater than 12 weeks.
  10. Failed at least one prior medical therapy for metastatic melanoma.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Active infection.
  2. History of or active autoimmune disease.
  3. Prior mouse monoclonal antibody treatment.
  4. Pregnant or lactating women, as treatment involves unforeseeable risks to the embryo or fetus.
  5. Need for chronic maintenance oral steroids.
  6. Active brain metastatic disease. Treated brain metastases with surgery, gamma-knife radiosurgery and/or whole brain radiation and stable for at least 4 weeks and off steroids are eligible.
  7. Any medical or psychiatric condition that in the opinion of the PI would preclude compliance with study procedures.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Increased number of tumor antigen specific circulating T Cells
Time Frame: Screening (baseline) and Day 15
T Cells will be harvested by apheresis at baseline and Day 15 following anti-OX40 administration.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
