About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Safety and Tolerability Study of Intralesional PV-10 Chemoablation in Subjects With Metastatic Melanoma

The objective of this study is to investigate the safety of intralesional (IL) PV-10 for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. This study will also include a preliminary assessment of response of treated and untreated lesions by clinical evaluation at follow-up of 12 to 24 weeks following IL PV-10 treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a two center, open label, ascending dose study. Subjects with at least two measurable melanoma lesions will receive a single intralesional injection of 10% PV-10 solution into each of one to twenty (20) target lesions. Additionally, one to three measurable untreated non-target lesions will be followed for assessment of bystander response. Systemic and locoregional adverse events will be monitored over the study interval. Dose escalation will be made only if no subjects at the first dose level have a Grade 3 non-hematological or Grade 4 hematological toxicity over a period of two weeks after PV-10 administration. Subject accrual and PV-10 administration at the second dose level will be stopped if more than 1 subject has a treatment related Grade 3 non-hematological or Grade 4 hematological toxicity within a period of two weeks after PV-10 administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PV-10 (rose bengal disodium, 10%) in people with Melanoma, run by Provectus Pharmaceuticals at 2 sites in Australia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety: adverse experience. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Aug 2007.
