Trial Outcomes & Findings for Use of IL-15 After Chemotherapy and Lymphocyte Transfer in Metastatic Melanoma (NCT NCT01369888)

NCT ID: NCT01369888

Last Updated: 2015-01-27

Results Overview

Intravenous recombinant IL-15 as a daily intravenous bolus for 10 consecutive days in patients with metastatic melanoma who have received a lymphodepleting chemotherapy and ACT TIL with dose escalation (i.e., dose level 1: 0.25 mcg, dose level 2: 0.50 mcg, dose level 3: 1 mcg, and dose level 4: 2 mcg) to further characterize the safety of the MTD prior to starting the phase 2 portion.

Participant Flow

Protocol was closed due to autoimmune toxicity unlikely related to cells and probably related to the IL-15 injection seen in one pt and also due to the opening of additional surgery branch protocols suggesting pt accrual would not increase in this protocol. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not determined and it did not enter the phase 2 stage.
