Trial of Ipilimumab After Isolated Limb Perfusion, in Patients With Metastases Melanoma

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: In-transit Metastases Melanoma Stage IIIB and IIIC
• Interventions: Drug: Ipilimumab

• Registration Number: NCT02094391
• Lead Sponsor: Gustave Roussy, Cancer Campus, Grand Paris

Brief Summary

Isolated limb perfusion (ILP) results in good response rates for locally advanced melanoma (stage IIIB and IIIC, AJCC 2009). Outcome is influenced by stage of disease, reflecting the aggressiveness of the melanoma. Our objective is to demonstrate at least a doubling of the progression free survival for the patients having an adjuvant treatment by Ipilimumab in this patient population with unfavourable characteristics. PFS ranges from 10-12 months. So at least a doubling of this period would be a clinically highly significant result.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Surgical resectable tumor and metastatic patients (stage IV) ;

3. Severe lymphoedema of the limb ;
4. Patients with contraindications to limb hyperthermia ;
5. Contraindication for the use of vasopressin, anticoagulants, radioactive tracer monitoring ;
6. Prior hypersensibility to melphalan and/or tasonermin ;
7. Prior treatment by Ipilimumab or anti PD1 and PDL1 therapies ;
8. Severe pulmonary dysfunction ;
9. Recent history or active peptic ulcer, severe ascites ;
10. Simultaneous treatment with cardiotoxic substances (e.g anthracyclines) ;
11. Uncontrolled deep sepsis ;
12. Pregnancy or breast-feeding ;
13. Person deprived of his rights or under guardianship ;
14. Impossibility to submit to the medical follow-up of the trial for geographical, social or psychic reasons ;
