  • The patient requires concomitant treatment with systemic corticosteroids, or any other immunosuppressive agents.
  • The patient received any cancer immunotherapeutic containing a MAGE-A3 antigen or any cancer immunotherapeutic for his/her metastatic disease.
  • The patient has received any investigational or non-registered drug or vaccine other than the study medication within the 30 days preceding the first ASCI injection or it is planned that (s)he will receive such a drug during the study period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Any Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic (ASCI) Related Grade 3/4 Adverse Events (AE)

    The assessment was made as per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0, where Grade refers to the severity of the AE. The CTCAE version 3.0 displays Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE, as follows: Grade 1 = Mild AE; Grade 2 = Moderate AE; Grade 3 = Severe AE; Grade 4 = Life-threatening or disabling AE; Grade 5 = Death related to AE.

    Measured: During the entire study, up to 2.5 years per patient

  2. Number of Subjects With Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.

    Measured: During the entire study, up to 2.5 years per patient

  3. The Rate of Objective Clinical Response.

    Measured: At the time of analysis.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. The Rate of Stable Disease.

    Measured: At the time of analysis.

  2. The Rate of Mixed Response.

    Measured: At the time of analysis.

  3. Time to Study Treatment Failure.

    Measured: At the time of analysis.

  4. Progression-free Survival.

    Measured: At the time of analysis.

  5. Progression-free Survival After Initial SPD.

    Measured: At the time of analysis.

  6. Documentation of Any Toxicity.

    Measured: During the entire study, up to 2.5 years per patient

  7. Immunogenicity at Defined Time Points.

    Measured: At 13 defined time points.

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GSK Biologicals' Recombinant MAGE-A3 Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic (ASCI) GSK1203486A in people with Melanoma, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 6 sites in 3 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 8 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Argentina, Greece, Norway. 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 3 Jun 2019). 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?

Number of Subjects With Any Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic (ASCI) Related Grade 3/4 Adverse Events (AE) (time frame: During the entire study, up to 2.5 years per patient). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Oct 2020.
