Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ibrutinib in Treating Patients With Refractory Metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma (NCT NCT02581930)

NCT ID: NCT02581930

Last Updated: 2025-09-08

Results Overview

Antitumor response defined as the sum of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). CR is the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm (\<1 cm). PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from Day 1 of treatment to time of progression (based on clinical or radiographic grounds) or death as a result of any cause, whichever occurs first.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Up to 1 year

Assessed by IHC and 2-color IF and analyzed by Aperio imaging. Exploratory analysis will also be performed to assess the predictive ability of each tissue biomarker by fitting logistic model or Cox model with biomarker as a covariate. Antitumor response rate or PFS information will be used to investigate possible cut-points for the biomarker. Logistic regression analysis will be conducted to assess whether a profile of immune response in tumor biopsies (or in peripheral blood) can be developed that distinguishes patients who respond to treatment versus those who do not.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to 1 year

Will be assessed by comparisons using analysis of variance followed by paired t-test or other tests (Wilcoxon rank-sum test), if normality assumption is not satisfied even when data transformation is performed.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Pre-dose on days 1 and day 8 of course 1 and post-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours on day 8 of course 1

The following parameters will be estimated: maximum concentration, time of maximum concentration, area under the concentration verses time curve, half-life, apparent clearance, apparent volume of distribution.
