• Conditions: PD-(L)1; CTLA-4; Advanced Melanoma; Iparomlimab; Tuvonralimab; Bevacizumab
• Interventions: Drug: Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection plus Bevacizumab

• Registration Number: NCT07004335
• Lead Sponsor: Hebei Medical University Fourth Hospital

Brief Summary

Several studies have shown that the combination of Iparomlimab, Tuvonralimab, and Bevacizumab exhibits potent anti-tumor activity and favorable safety in various solid tumors, including liver cancer. However, the efficacy and safety of this regimen in melanoma patients with acquired resistance to immunotherapy remain unexplored and require further validation.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Iparomlimab, Tuvonralimab, and Bevacizumab combination in patients with immune-resistant melanoma. Furthermore, it will analyze and compare treatment responses among different melanoma subtypes to identify optimal treatment strategies for clinical practice.

Detailed Description

This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm, exploratory clinical trial. Following the signing of informed consent, all participants will undergo screening according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.It is anticipated that a total of 40 patients will be enrolled. Participants will receive a combination of Iparomlimab/Tuvonralimab injection and Bevacizumab every 3 weeks. Follow-up visits will be scheduled every 6 weeks. The final assessment of the study endpoints will take place at Week 105, while the last evaluation of other adverse events will be conducted at Week 109.

• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 40

Inclusion Criteria

Participants must meet all of the following criteria for enrollment:

1. Age ≥18 years;

2. Histologically-confirmed unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma, unsuitable for local therapy;

3. Confirmed PD according to iRECIST within 12 weeks after receiving the last dose of anti-PD-(L)1 monotherapy or in combination with other treatments (including anti-CTLA-4) for at least two doses. (Up to 25% of participants may have received both anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-(L)1 treatment);

4. Participants with BRAF/CKIT/NRAS gene mutations must have progressed after targeted therapy;

5. Intolerant to chemotherapy or refused standard therapy;

6. Toxicity from the most recent treatment recovered to grade 1 or below (except alopecia); if participants underwent major surgery or radiotherapy >30 Gy, they must have recovered from treatment-related toxicities/complications;

7. Life expectancy of at least 3 months;

8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score: 0-1;

9. At least one measurable lesion confirmed according to RECIST 1.1 criteria;

10. Laboratory test results at screening must meet the following requirements:

    a) Hematological tests must meet the following criteria (no blood/blood product transfusion, no correction with G-CSF or other hematopoietic stimulants within 14 days): i. Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 90 g/L ii. Neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L iii. Platelet count (PLT) ≥ 100×10^9/L b) Biochemical tests must meet the following criteria: i. Total bilirubin (TBIL) < 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) ii. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) < 2.5 ULN (<5 ULN for participants with liver metastasis) iii. Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 ULN or endogenous creatinine clearance rate > 50ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula) iv. Urine routine test results show urine protein (UPRO) < 2+ or 24-hour urine protein quantification <1g;

11. Women of childbearing potential must have taken reliable contraceptive measures, had a negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) within 7 days before enrollment, and agree to use appropriate contraception during the trial and for 6 months after the last administration of the investigational drug. Nursing mothers should discontinue breastfeeding during the whole trial period and for 6 months after the last administration of the investigational drug to avoid the drug affecting the infant through milk. For men, they must agree to use appropriate contraception during the trial and for 120 days after the last administration of the investigational drug or have undergone surgical sterilization;

12. Provide written informed consent, and are expected to have good compliance with the study protocol.

Exclusion Criteria

Participants meeting any of the following will be excluded:

1. Any active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease requiring treatment (including but not limited to: autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, colitis, hepatitis, pituitary炎, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism; participants with vitiligo; childhood asthma that has completely resolved without any intervention in adulthood can be included; participants with asthma requiring bronchodilators for medical intervention cannot be included);
2. Received more than 10 mg of prednisolone or other immunosuppressive therapy within seven days prior to study treatment;
