What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is defined for each patient as the time between randomization and death. If a patient has not died, he or she will be censored at the time of last contact (last known alive date)

    Measured: From randomization to death or last known alive date, assessed up to 15.6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR is defined per arm as the total number of randomized participants with best overall response as complete response, partial response, or stable disease, divided by the total number of randomized participants in the arm. Bristol-Myers Squibb terminated this study early because the study would not meet its scientific objective in the predefined time frame. Thus, no participants were analyzed. Because the study ended before best overall response could be determined, no participants were analyzed.

    Measured: Every 3 months for approximately 3.5 years after start of randomization and then every 6 months until confirmed and documented progressive disease

  2. Best Overall Response Rate (BORR)

    BORR is defined per arm as the total number of randomized patients with a best overall response of complete response or partial response, divided by the total number of randomized patients in the arm. Bristol-Myers Squibb terminated this study early because the study would not meet its scientific objective in the predefined timeframe. Because the study ended before best overall response for all patients was defined, no participant data was analyzed.

    Measured: Every 3 months for approximately 3.5 years after start of randomization and then every 6 months until confirmed and documented progressive disease

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ipilimumab and Chemotherapy in people with Melanoma, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 17 sites in 5 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 30 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, Germany, France, Austria, Italy. 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 30 Nov 2015). 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?

Overall Survival (time frame: From randomization to death or last known alive date, assessed up to 15.6 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 30 Nov 2015.
