Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase 2 Study of Ipilimumab Plus Dacarbazine in Japanese Patients With Advanced Melanoma (NCT NCT01681212)

NCT ID: NCT01681212

Last Updated: 2015-06-11

Results Overview

Survival rate=percentage of participants surviving at 1 year following start of study drug. Every effort was made to collect survival data on all patients, including those withdrawn from treatment for any reason. If the death of a patient was not reported, the patient's last known alive date was recorded. Confidence intervals were computed using the Clopper-Pearson method.

Measure
Ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg + Dacarbazine, 850 mg/m^2
During the Induction Period, participants received ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg, as tolerated by intravenous (IV) infusion as 1 single dose during Weeks 1 (Day 1), 4, 7, and 10 for a total of 4 separate doses. During the Maintenance Phase, participants received ipilimumab, 10 mg/kg, as tolerated by IV infusion every 12 weeks, beginning at Week 24, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Participants also received dacarbazine, 850 mg/m\^2, by IV infusion over 30 to 60 minutes, starting on Week 1 and repeated every 3 weeks until Week 22. Dacarbazine was dosed on the same day as ipilimumab, when applicable, after the ipilimumab dose.

irAEs are adverse events of unknown cause, consistent with an immune phenomenon, and considered to be causally related to drug exposure. Six subcategories of irAE are assessed: gastrointestinal, liver, skin, endocrine, neurologic, and other. The irAEs are programmatically determined from a predefined list of MedDRA terms. irAEs will be measured every 3 weeks in induction phase, every 6 weeks in Maintenance Phase to Week 48, and every 12 weeks until Progressive Disease. Grading criteria: Grade 1=Mild, Grade 2=Moderate, Grade 3=Severe, Grade 4=Life-threatening or disabling, Grade 5=Death.

Population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug

AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Related=having certain, probable, possible, or unknown relationship to study drug. Grade 1=mild; Grade 2=moderate; Grade 3=severe; Grade 4=life-threatening or disabling; Grade 5=death.
