About this study

Official title: Interleukin-2 Imaging as a Guide to Cancer Immunotherapy (Ipilimumab or Pembrolizumab) in Advanced Melanoma: A Pilot Study

This pilot clinical trial studies aldesleukin imaging in viewing tumor growth in patients with stage IV melanoma receiving ipilimumab or pembrolizumab therapy. Diagnostic procedures, such as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), uses radioactive drugs and a scanner to make detailed pictures of areas inside the body and may be a less invasive way to check for stage IV melanoma. Radioactive drugs, such as technetium Tc 99 hydrazinonicotinamide-tricine-linked interleukin-2, carry radiation directly to cancer cells and may be able to differentiate between tumor growth due to inflammation versus tumor progression in patients with stage IV melanoma receiving therapy.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Feasibility/biodistribution of 99mTc-HYNIC-IL2 (technetium Tc 99 hydrazinonicotinamide-tricine-linked interleukin 2) scintigraphy in patients with metastatic melanoma undergoing immunotherapy with either ipilimumab (commercial source) or pembrolizumab.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Correlation of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) invasion (scintigraphy/histology) with tumor burden; and description of any clinical side effects associated with imaging.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Correlation of TIL invasion assessed by 99mTc-HYNIC-IL2 scintigraphy vs. histology (total and subsets of TIL), as well as screen for peripheral blood correlates.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups. COHORT I: Patients undergo technetium Tc 99 hydrazinonicotinamide-tricine-linked interleukin-2 scintigraphy prior to receiving ipilimumab or pembrolizumab and at 12 weeks.

COHORT II: Patients undergo technetium Tc 99 hydrazinonicotinamide-tricine-linked interleukin-2 scintigraphy prior to receiving ipilimumab or pembrolizumab, at 3-4 weeks, and at 12 weeks.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30-45 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients who develop scintigraphy limiting toxicities (SLTs)

    SLTs include grade 2+ allergic reaction, grade 3+ anaphylaxis, grade 2+ injection site reaction, or grade 3+ non-hematologic toxicity (not attributed to immunotherapy treatment/progression or a co-morbid condition). A 95% binomial confidence interval of the proportion of patients who develop a grade 2+ allergic reaction, grade 3+ anaphylaxis, or grade 2+ injection site reaction will be constructed.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of adverse events, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0

    The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns.

    Measured: Up to 30-45 days after study discontinuation

  2. Target-to-background (T/B) ratio as determined by technetium Tc 99 hydrazinonicotinamide-tricine-linked interleukin-2 scintigraphy

    Spearman rank correlation coefficients will be used to examine the association between T/B ratio and the pre-treatment tumor biomarkers. Spearman rank correlation coefficients will be used to examine the association between changes in T/B ratio, changes in TIL percentages, and changes in peripheral blood concentrations of T, B, and NK cell subsets.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  3. TIL invasion as determined by technetium Tc 99 hydrazinonicotinamide-tricine-linked interleukin-2 scintigraphy

    Relationship between TIL invasion, tumor burden, tumor based biomarkers, and peripheral blood biomarkers will be assessed.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Radionuclide Imaging and Technetium Tc 99 Hydrazinonicotinamide-Tricine-linked Interleukin-2 in people with Stage IV Skin Melanoma, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site 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 11 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 5 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Proportion of patients who develop scintigraphy limiting toxicities (SLTs) (time frame: Up to 12 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 5 Aug 2019.
