Vaccination With 6MHP, With or Without Systemic CDX-1127, in Patients With Stage II-IV Melanoma
- Conditions
- Melanoma
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT03617328
- Lead Sponsor
- Craig L Slingluff, Jr
- Brief Summary
This study evaluates whether it is safe to administer a peptide vaccine (6MHP) with adjuvants and the CDX-1127 monoclonal antibody, and whether the adjuvants and the CDX-1127 monoclonal antibody boost immune responses to the vaccine. In this study, the adjuvants are Montanide ISA-51 and polyICLC. The investigators will monitor these effects by performing tests in the laboratory on participants' blood and tissue from a vaccine site.

-
Participants who have received a live vaccine within 30 days of registration.
-
Body weight < 110 pounds at registration, due to the amount and frequency with which blood will be drawn.
