A Phase II Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy With Concurrent Anti-PD1 Treatment in Metastatic Melanoma.

NCT ID: NCT02821182

Last Updated: 2022-12-29

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 20 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2016-09-01
• Study Completion Date: 2019-12-31

Brief Summary

We hypothesize that combining anti-PD1 treatment with radiotherapy might result in improved clinical response rates and PFS compared to anti-PD1 treatment in monotherapy.

The current phase II trial aims at exploring the suggested benefits of the combination and aims to improve local and distant tumour responses by exploiting the pro-immunogenic effects of radiotherapy in addition to anti-PD1 treatment.

Conditions

Melanoma

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Anti-PD1 treatment in combination with SBRT

Patients receiving anti-PD1 treatment will be treated with high-dose radiotherapy to one lesion in 3 fractions prior to the second cycle of systemic therapy.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

stereotactic body radiotherapy

Intervention Type: RADIATION

In patients with metastatic melanoma, anti-PD-1 treatment will be combined with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).

A total dose of 24 Gy SBRT will be delivered in 3 fractions to one measurable lesion and fractions will be separated >48h and <96h.

Interventions

stereotactic body radiotherapy

In patients with metastatic melanoma, anti-PD-1 treatment will be combined with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).

A total dose of 24 Gy SBRT will be delivered in 3 fractions to one measurable lesion and fractions will be separated >48h and <96h.

Intervention Type: RADIATION
