About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of CB-10-01, Transgenic Lymphocyte Immunization (TLI) Against Telomerase, as Adjuvant Therapy in Subjects With Stage III Melanoma

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and immunological response to the study product, TLI, as an adjuvant therapy in subjects with Stage III Melanoma.

Normal cells in the body have an established lifespan. Cancer cells on the other hand have the ability to continue to divide into new cells indefinitely. More than 85% of cancer has this ability because of an enzyme found in the cancer cell. The Investigational Product, Transgenic Lymphocyte Immunization (TLI), is aimed at helping the immune system target this enzyme found in most cancerous cells.

Subjects who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will undergo a leukapheresis in which white blood cells will be collected and used to manufacture their own personal study product. Subjects will receive 3 infusions of TLI roughly 1 month apart and will be followed over a 2 year period with routine laboratory draws, computed tomography (CT) scans and physical exams.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of subjects who have no recurrence of metastatic melanoma 9 and 16 months following the time of primary surgery.

    Measured: 9 and 16 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CB-10-01 (Transgenic Lymphocyte Immunization) in people with Stage IIIB Skin Melanoma and Stage IIIC Skin Melanoma, run by Cosmo Bioscience at 5 sites in United States.

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 16 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The primary efficacy endpoint will be the percentage of subjects who have no recurrence of metastatic melanoma at 24 months from the time of primary surgery. (time frame: 24 months). 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 13 Feb 2012.
