About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Intralesional PV-10 in the Treatment of Metastatic Melanoma

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of intralesional (IL) PV-10 for locoregional treatment of metastatic melanoma. This study will also include assessment of response in untreated bystander lesions following intralesional injection of PV-10 into targeted lesions. Additional objectives are to determine the safety profile of PV-10 following intralesional injection, and assess the pharmacokinetic profile of PV-10 in the bloodstream following intralesional injection.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-agent study. Subjects with at least one melanoma lesion ≥ 0.2 cm in diameter that can be accurately measured by ruler/caliper or ultrasound will receive intralesional injection of PV-10 into each of up to twenty (20) Study Lesions. Additionally, one to two measurable Bystander Lesions may remain untreated and will be followed for assessment of bystander response.

To accurately reflect anticipated clinical use, repeat dosing of treated lesions will be allowed at the Investigator's discretion at weeks 8, 12 and 16 following initial treatment for those lesions not exhibiting complete response. Subjects will be followed for 52 weeks following initial treatment with PV-10.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) of PV-10 Treated Lesions

    Using modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for cutaneous or subcutaneous target lesions assessed by ruler, caliper or ultrasound: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Objective Response Rate (ORR) = %CR + %PR.

    Measured: 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Objective Response Rate of Untreated Bystander Lesions

    Using modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for designated, untreated cutaneous or subcutaneous bystander lesions assessed by ruler, caliper or ultrasound: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all bystander lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of bystander lesions; Objective Response Rate (ORR) = %CR + %PR.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression is defined using modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or significant worsening of non-target disease (e.g., a measurable increase in non-target lesions or the appearance of new lesions) indicative of disease progression.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  3. Overall Survival

    1-year survival

    Measured: 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PV-10 (10% rose bengal disodium) in people with Melanoma, run by Provectus Pharmaceuticals at 7 sites in 2 countries.

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 21 inclusion and 17 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 25 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Aug 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) of PV-10 Treated Lesions (time frame: 52 weeks). 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 25 Aug 2014.
