What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Talimogene LaherparepvecDrug

    Also called IMLYGIC®

    The initial dose of talimogene laherparepvec is up to 4.0 mL of 10^6 PFU/mL. Subsequent doses of talimogene laherparepvec are up to 4.0 mL of 10^8 PFU/mL.

Study groups in NCT02366195
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Talimogene LaherparepvecExperimentalTalimogene laherparepvec was administered by intralesional injection into injectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, and nodal lesions at an initial dose of 10⁶ plaque-forming units (PFU) per mL on day 1 followed by a dose of 10⁸ PFU/mL 21 days after the initial dose and every 14 days thereafter. Participants were treated with talimogene laherparepvec until they achieved a complete response, all injectable tumors had disappeared, clinically significant (resulting in clinical deterioration or requiring change of therapy) disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment, per modified World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria, or intolerance of study treatment, whichever occurred first.

What is being measured

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

  1. Odds Ratio of Baseline Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Objective Response Rate

    A univariate logistic regression model was performed to evaluate baseline log2(CD8+ cell density) as a predictor of objective response.

    Response was assessed according to the modified version of the World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria. Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to the modified WHO criteria.

    The unadjusted odds ratio of log2(baseline intratumoral CD8+ cell density) for objective response rate is reported.

    Measured: Intratumoral CD8+ cell density: Baseline. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up at primary completion = 59 weeks (min 3 to max 116 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Odds Ratio of Baseline Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Durable Response Rate

    A univariate logistic regression model was performed to evaluate baseline log2(CD8+ cell density) as a predictor of durable response.

    Response was assessed according to the modified version of the World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria. Durable response rate (DRR) was defined as the percentage of participants with an objective response lasting continuously for 6 months and starting any time within 12 months of initiating therapy.

    The unadjusted odds ratio of log2(baseline intratumoral CD8+ cell density) for durable response rate is reported.

    Primary completion is defined as PC and final analysis is defined as FA.

    Measured: Intratumoral CD8+ cell density: Baseline. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up: PC: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); FA: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6)

  2. Hazards Ratio of Baseline Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Duration of Response

    A Cox proportional hazards regression model was performed to evaluate baseline log2(CD8+ cell density) as a predictor of duration of response.

    Response was assessed according to the modified version of the World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria. Duration of response (DOR) is defined as the longest individual period from entering an objective response (CR/PR) to the first documented evidence of the participant no longer meeting the criteria for being in the response (i.e. an overall response of either stable disease [SD] as compared with baseline or progressive disease [PD]).

    The unadjusted hazard ratio of log2(baseline intratumoral CD8+ cell density) for duration of response is reported.

    Measured: Intratumoral CD8+ cell density: Baseline. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up: PC: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); FA: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  3. Correlation Between Baseline Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Changes in Tumor Burden

    Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) was estimated to assess the relationship between baseline log2(CD8+ cell density) and the maximum decrease in measurable tumor burden.

    Tumor burden is the sum of the products of the 2 largest perpendicular diameters (SPD) for all index lesions selected at baseline.

    The Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) of log2(baseline intratumoral CD8+ cell density) and the maximum decrease in tumor burden is reported.

    Primary completion is defined as PC and final analysis is defined as FA.

    Measured: Intratumoral CD8+ cell density: Baseline; Tumor burden: First dose of study drug until primary completion date (26 June 2017) or end of follow-up; median time on follow-up: PC: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); FA: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  4. Odds Ratio of Change From Baseline Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Objective Response Rate

    A univariate logistic regression model was performed to evaluate change from baseline to week 6 in log2(CD8+ cell density) in uninjected tumors as a predictor of objective response.

    Response was assessed according to the modified version of the World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria. Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants with a complete response or partial response according to the modified WHO criteria.

    The unadjusted odds ratio of log2(change from baseline intratumoral CD8+ cell density) for objective response rate is reported.

    Intratumoral CD8+ Cell density has been shortened to "CD8+ cell density" in the time frame due to character limit. Primary completion is defined as PC and final analysis is defined as FA.

    Measured: CD8+ cell density: Baseline & Week 6. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up: PC: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); FA: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  5. Odds Ratio of Change From Baseline in Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Durable Response Rate

    A univariate logistic regression model was performed to evaluate change from baseline to week 6 in log2(CD8+ cell density) in uninjected lesions as a predictor of durable response.

    Response was assessed according to the modified version of the World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria. Durable response rate (DRR) was defined as the percentage of participants with an objective response lasting continuously for 6 months and starting any time within 12 months of initiating therapy.

    The unadjusted odds ratio of log2(change from baseline in intratumoral CD8+ cell density) for durable response rate is reported.

    Intratumoral CD8+ Cell density has been shortened to "CD8+ cell density" in the time frame due to character limit. Primary completion is defined as PC and final analysis is defined as FA.

    Measured: CD8+ cell density: Baseline & Week 6. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up: PC: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); FA: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  6. Hazard Ratio of Change From Baseline in Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Duration of Response

    A Cox proportional hazards regression model was performed to evaluate change from baseline in log2(CD8+ cell density) as a predictor of duration of response.

    Response was assessed according to the modified version of the World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria. Duration of response (DOR) is defined as the longest individual period from entering an objective response (CR/PR) to the first documented evidence of the participant no longer meeting the criteria for being in the response (i.e. an overall response of either stable disease [SD] as compared with baseline or progressive disease [PD]).

    The unadjusted hazard ratio of log2(change from baseline intratumoral CD8+ cell density) for duration of response is reported.

    Intratumoral CD8+ Cell density has been shortened to "CD8+ cell density" in the time frame due to character limit. Primary completion is defined as PC and final analysis is defined as FA.

    Measured: CD8+ cell density: Baseline & Week 6. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up: PC: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); FA: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  7. Correlation Between Change From Baseline in Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Changes in Tumor Burden

    Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) was estimated to assess the relationship between change from baseline in log2(CD8+ cell density) in uninjected lesions and the maximum decrease in measurable tumor burden.

    Tumor burden is the sum of the products of the 2 largest perpendicular diameters (SPD) for all index lesions selected at baseline.

    The Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) of log2(change from baseline intratumoral CD8+ cell density) and the maximum decrease in tumor burden is reported.

    Intratumoral CD8+ Cell density has been shortened to "CD8+ cell density" in the time frame due to character limit. Primary completion is defined as PC and final analysis is defined as FA.

    Measured: CD8+ cell density: Baseline & Week 6. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up: PC: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); FA: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  8. Objective Response Rate

    Objective Response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with either a CR or PR based on Modified WHO Response Criteria.

    CR: Complete disappearance of all index lesions, all non-index lesions, and any new tumors which might have appeared. Any residual cutaneous or subcutaneous index lesions must be documented by representative biopsy to not contain viable tumor.

    PR: Disappearance of all index lesions with persistence of one or more non-index tumor(s), or, 50% or greater reduction in the 2 largest perpendicular diameters (SPD) of all index lesions as compared to baseline, and disappearance or persistence of non-index lesions.

    Measured: Response was assessed every 12 weeks until PD beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up at time of primary completion: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); final analysis: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  9. Duration of Response

    Duration of response (DOR) was defined as the longest individual period from entering an objective response (CR/PR) to the first documented evidence of the participant no longer meeting the criteria for objective response (i.e. an overall response of either stable disease [SD] as compared with baseline or progressive disease [PD]).

    SD: Neither sufficient tumor shrinkage of index lesion to qualify for response (PR or CR) nor sufficient tumor increase of index lesion to qualify for PD, with no increase in size of non-index lesions.

    PD: A > 25% increase in the sum of the SPD of all index tumors since baseline, or the unequivocal appearance of a new tumor since the last response assessment time point, or unequivocal progression of one or more non-index lesions.

    Participants last reported to be either a CR or PR were censored at that time point.

    Measured: Response was assessed every 12 weeks until PD beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up at time of primary completion: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); final analysis: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  10. Time to Treatment Failure

    Time to treatment failure (TTF) was calculated from first dosing until one or more of the following: (1) clinically relevant disease progression (PDr); (2) death from any cause; (3) non clinically relevant disease progression (PDn) associated with a requirement for alternative therapy as the reason for ending treatment or start of new anti-cancer therapy. Participants with no event were censored at their last evaluable tumor assessment.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until primary completion date of 26 June 2017, or end of follow-up; median time on follow-up at primary completion was 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); final analysis was 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  11. Durable Response Rate

    Durable response rate (DRR) was defined as the percentage of participants with an objective response (CR or PR) based on modified WHO response criteria lasting continuously for 6 months and starting any time within 12 months of initiating therapy.

    Measured: Response was assessed every 12 weeks until PD beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up at time of primary completion: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); final analysis: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  12. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of death from any cause.

    OS time was censored at the last date the participant was known to be alive when the confirmation of death is absent or unknown.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until primary completion date of 26 June 2017, or end of follow-up; median time on follow-up at primary completion was 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); final analysis was 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

  13. Change From Baseline in Tumor Burden

    Tumor burden is the sum of the products of the 2 largest perpendicular diameters (SPD) for all index lesions selected at baseline.

    Change from baseline in tumor burden was assessed in participants with an objective response.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 1 of cycle 6, 12 , 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90, 96, 102, 108, 114, and 120. The first cycle was 21 days and all subsequent cycles were 14 days.

  14. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    The severity of each adverse event (AE) was assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3.0 grading scale, where 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 Treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) were those assessed by the investigator as possibly related to talimogene laherparepvec.

    Measured: From first dose through 30 days after last dose of talimogene laherparepvec; median duration of treatment was 25.143 weeks (range 0.14 to 241.43 weeks)

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 8 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 30 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 42 sites in Spain, France, Greece, Hungary, Germany and 8 more countries. 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 18 Jul 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?

Odds Ratio of Baseline Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Objective Response Rate (time frame: Intratumoral CD8+ cell density: Baseline. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up at primary completion = 59 weeks (min 3 to max 116 weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02366195, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2021.
