TNF in Melanoma Patients Treated With Immunotherapy

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Melanoma
• Interventions: Other: Tumor biopsy specimens and blood samples

• Registration Number: NCT03348891
• Lead Sponsor: Institut Claudius Regaud

Brief Summary

This trial is a translational proof-of-concept, open-label, prospective cohort study of 60 patients aiming to identify the clinical markers and/or biomarkers associated with therapeutic response to immune checkpoints inhibitors, in patients with advanced melanoma.

The study will be conducted on a population of patients treated with ICI in the context of routine care, separated in two subgroups:

* Subgroup 1: patients treated with anti-PD-1 alone (nivolumab or pembrolizumab)

* Subgroup 2: patients treated with the combined treatment anti-PD-1+anti-CTLA-4 (nivolumab + ipilimumab)

For each included patient, blood samples will be collected during baseline visit and during treatment period (at Week 6 Day 1 and Week 12 Day 1).

If feasible, tumor biopsy (of primary tumor or metastasis) will be performed during baseline and on Week 12 Day 1 visit (predose). If tumor biopsy is not feasible, available archived tumor specimen (frozen or FFPE block) may be collected for the study.

All included patients will be followed-up for tumor status and/or survival status every 3 months until a maximum duration of 1 year from the first study dose.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age ≥18 years at the time of study entry.

7. Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
8. Patient able to participate and willing to give informed consent prior to performance of any study-related procedures and to comply with the study protocol.
9. Patient affiliated to a Social Health Insurance in France.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patient pregnant, or breast-feeding.
2. Uveal melanoma.
3. Any condition contraindicated with sampling procedures required by the protocol.
4. Any psychological, familial, geographic or social situation, according to the judgment of investigator, potentially preventing the provision of informed consent or compliance to study procedure.
5. Any current severe or uncontrolled disease, including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection.
6. Patient who has forfeited his/her freedom by administrative or legal award or who is under guardianship.
