Clinical Evaluation of Yervoy in Combination With Adoptive T Cell Transfer for Metastatic Melanoma Patients

April 3, 2019 updated by: Dr. Jacob Schachter MD,, Sheba Medical Center

Clinical Evaluation of Yervoy in Combination With Adoptive T Cell Transfer for the Treatment of Metastatic Melanoma Patients

A rationally designed combination of adoptive T cell therapy and ipilimumab could strongly increase the proportion of CR patients, as well as the durability of response, as compared to ipilimumab or TIL alone. The investigators hypothesize that the combination of those two important modalities could result in a durable (≥ 1 year) complete response rate of 30% in stage IV melanoma patients.

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 to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)
