Trial Outcomes & Findings for Viral Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Melanoma (NCT NCT00651157)

NCT ID: NCT00651157

Last Updated: 2014-04-22

Results Overview

A tumor response is defined to be a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) noted as the objective status on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the largest dimension (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

Participant Flow

Twenty three participants were enrolled onto this study between August 2008 and January 2010.

One participant died prior to receiving any treatment and is not included in this study summary. One participant was found to be ineligible and was not used in the analysis of any endpoint, but was used for reporting toxicity. Therefore, 21 participants were used for the primary analysis and 22 participants are used to report toxicity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Time from registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years

Survival time is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause. The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

n=21 Participants
Patients receive wild-type reovirus (Reolysin®) IV over 60 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Overall Survival
5.42 months
Interval 0.49 to 15.8

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Time from registration to documentation of disease progression, assessed up to 5 years

Time to disease progression is defined as the time from registration to documentation of disease progression. If a patient dies without documentation of disease progression, the patient will be considered to have had tumor progression at the time of their death unless there is sufficient documented evidence to conclude no progression occurred prior to death.
