Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pembrolizumab in Treating Patients With Advanced Uveal Melanoma (NCT NCT02359851)

NCT ID: NCT02359851

Last Updated: 2019-09-18

Results Overview

Of note, response rates by RECIST 1.1 criteria will also be assessed although irRC will be used for the primary endpoint. The percentage of complete or partial response is calculated and 95% confidence interval is estimated using Wilson method.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 years

Population: Patients received pembrolizumab treatment and evaluated for response.

Of note, response rates by RECIST 1.1 criteria will also be assessed although irRC will be used for the primary endpoint. The percentage of complete or partial response is calculated and 95% confidence interval is estimated using Wilson method.

Treatment (Pembrolizumab)
n=4 Participants
Patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Pembrolizumab: Given IV Laboratory Biomarker Analysis: Correlative studies
Objective Response Rate (ORR), Defined as the Percentage of Patients Achieving a Confirmed Complete or Partial Response, as Defined by Immune-related Response Criteria (irRC)
25 % of patients achieving response
Interval 1.3 to 69.9

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Time from the first dose of pembrolizumab to progression, assessed up to 3 years.

Population: Patients received treatment.

PFS will be summarized using the method of Kaplan and Meier. Median PFS time with 95% confidence intervals will be reported. Using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), progression will be defined as ≥ 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions compared with the smallest-sum longest diameter recorded or the appearance of one or more new lesions, and/or appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing nontarget lesions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Interval between the first dose of pembrolizumab and death for any reason, assessed up to 3 years

Population: Patients received pembrolizumab treatment.

The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the overall survival. Median survival and its 95% confidence interval will be estimated and reported.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 years

Population: Only 1 participant had a RECIST-defined response, which is ongoing and lasting 23.5 months.

If sample size permits, response duration will be summarized descriptively using Kaplan-Meier medians and quartiles. Only the subset of patients who show a complete response or partial response will be included in this analysis.

Count of patients according to the worst-grade toxicity experienced by each, where worst-grade toxicity is per NCI common toxicity criteria: grade 1, mild; grade 2, moderate; grade 3, severe; grade 4, life-threatening; grade 5, death. This endpoint will be reported descriptively without formal statistical analysis.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to 2 years

Each relevant clinical characteristic will be recorded by the use of tables and/or graphs. The number and percentage of patients treated, and the primary reason for discontinuation will be displayed. Demographic variables (such as age) and baseline characteristics will be summarized by descriptive statistics. Compliance with pembrolizumab administration will be measured by patients: 1) receiving unscheduled study agent infusions/injections; 2) missing an infusion/injection. Numbers and percentages of patients and infusion/injection visits with any deviation in these measures will be reported.
