简要总结
The current clinical trial shall clarify the efficacy, safety and biologic effects of neoadjuvant treatment with natural interferon-α (Multiferon) in patients with locoregional metastases of melanoma in stage IIIB/C.
详细描述
The study is an open label, multicenter phase IIa clinical trial which is designed as a pilot project in order to establish the efficacy and tolerability of Multiferon as a neoadjuvant treatment of locoregional metastases. Patients will be treated subsequently in cohorts characterized by different doses (3 - 9 - 18 MIU) to analyze dosage dependent effects.

入选标准
- •Histologically proven cutaneous melanoma
- •Clinical stage IIIB or IIIC (AJCC 2010)
- •≥ 18 years of age
- •Presence of at least two metastases, not more than 10 metastases, and completely resectable
- •Measurable disease (at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in two perpendicular diameters, with both dimensions at least 10 mm x 10 mm for spiral CT and 5 mm x 5 mm for locoregional metastases assessed by ultrasound or digital photography)
- •ECOG performance status of 0/1
- •Patients with previous adjuvant recombinant interferon-α treatment of any dose are eligible if (i) treatment was stopped at least 1 month before start of treatment and (ii) no progression occurred during interferon-α treatment.
- •No childbearing potential or negative pregnancy test within 14 days before inclusion in women with child bearing potential Women with childbearing potential must be using an effective method of contraception (Pearl-Index < 1, e.g. oral contraceptives, other hormonal contraceptives [vaginal products, skin patches, or implanted or injectable products], or mechanical products such as an intrauterine device or barrier methods [diaphragm, spermicides]) throughout the study and for up to 3 months after the last dose of investigational product, in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized.
- •No men of fathering potential or men of fathering potential must be using an effective method of contraception to avoid conception throughout the study and for up to 3 months after the last dose of investigational product, in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized.
- •Signed and dated informed consent informed consent before the start of specific protocol procedures
排除标准

- •Any thyroid dysfunctions not responsive to therapy
- •Presence of chronic hepatitis with decompensated liver cirrhosis
- •Immunosuppression in patients with transplantation
- •Evidence or history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
