In-transit Metastases Melanoma Stage IIIB and IIIC Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized, Open Label, Multicenter, Comparative Phase II Trial of Ipilimumab After Isolated Limb Perfusion (ILP), in Patients With In-transit Metastases Melanoma Stage IIIB and IIIC
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.
