Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed melanoma stage III/IV, unresectable
  • Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥10 mm with spiral CT scan
  • One prior cytotoxic therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease is allowed. Unlimited regimens using biological agents (vaccines), immunotherapy, or targeted agents is permitted. For example, BRAF inhibitors and ipilimumab are permitted. Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxicities related to any prior therapy. Prior therapy must be completed ≥28 days before the first dose of cyclophosphamide.
  • Age ≥18
  • Life expectancy of greater than 3 months
  • ECOG performance status ≤ 1
Show all 18Show fewer
  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • Leukocytes ≥ 3,000/mcL
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mcL
  • Platelets ≥ 100,000/mcL
  • Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits
  • AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal
  • Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dl Or Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
  • The patient must express HLA class I allele HLA-A*0201 for NY-ESO-1/LAGE.
  • Patient must have proven positive tumor sample for NY-ESO-1 as determined by an H score for immunohistochemistry staining. Positive expression is defined as an H score ≥ 100 where the H score = [2 x (% cells 2+) + 3 x (% cells 3+)].
  • NOTE: The percentages of negative or weakly stained nuclei (i.e. 1+) are not to be included in the calculation of the H score.
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and both male and female (of childbearing potential) subjects must agree to use reliable methods of contraception during the study.
  • Ability of the patient (or legally authorized representative if applicable) to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have had 2 or more regimens containing cytotoxic chemotherapy for metastatic melanoma.
  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Patients with active brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to cyclophosphamide or other agents used in the study.
  • Active infection
  • Prior malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer) within 3 years.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. All patients will undergo a cardiac stress test for evaluation of cardiac function.
  • Pregnant or nursing females
  • Active infection with HIV, HBV or HCV as defined below, due to the immunosuppressive effects of cyclophosphamide used and the unknown risks associated with viral replication.
  • Positive serology for HIV
  • Active Hepatitis B infection as determined by test for hepatitis B surface antigen.
  • Active Hepatitis C. Patients will be screened for HCV antibody. If the HCV antibody is positive, a screening HCV RNA by any RT-PCR or bDNA assay must be performed at screening by a local laboratory with a CLIA certification or its equivalent. Eligibility will be determined based on a negative screening value. The test is not required if documentation of a negative result of a HCV RNA test performed within 60 days prior to screening is provided.

About this study

The purpose of this early (phase I/II) clinical trial is to assess the effects (both good and bad) of genetically modified T cells after chemotherapy on your cancer and general health.

Read the detailed description

Purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of autologous genetically modified T cells. Genetic material is transferred into the subject's previously harvested autologous T cells to redirect them to target melanoma cells rather than their usual target. Study subjects must have histologically or cytologically melanoma stage 3/4 and their tumor must express HLA Class 1 allele HLA-A*0201 for NY-ESO-1/LAGE. Subjects must also have measureable disease on study entry, as defined by at least one lesion that can be measured in at least one dimension >= 10mm with spiral CT scan.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Events Related to Study Treatment

    Number of Participants with NCI CTC V.4 Adverse Events related to study treatment greater than or equal to Grade 3

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Tumor Response

    Number of participants with response as assessed by RECIST (version 1.1) criteria.

    Measured: Change from Baseline, every 4 weeks until Month 5 and then every other month through Month 11

  2. Determine the Functional Properties and Phenotype of Modified T-cells From Peripheral Blood and Tumor Sites.

    Measurement of functionality of NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T cells in the blood and tumor sites.

    Measured: 8 Weeks post T-cell infusion

  3. Peak Persistence of Modified T-cells in the Peripheral Blood

    Measurement of NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T cells in blood (copies of WPRE per µg of genomic PBMC DNA)

    Measured: Days 1, 5-9, 12-16, weekly thereafter through Week 12, monthly thereafter through Month 12, and during LTFU

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Autologous genetically modified T cells, NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T in people with Melanoma, run by Adaptimmune at 2 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 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2019. 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 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 combined 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.

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 8 May 2018). 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?

Adverse Events Related to Study Treatment (time frame: Up to 12 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 10 Jan 2019.
