High-Dose Aldesleukin and Ipilimumab in Treating Patients With Stage III-IV Melanoma That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery

Stage IV Melanoma Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase II Single Arm Study of High-Dose IL-2 and Ipilimumab in Patients With Unresectable Stage III and Stage IV Melanoma

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well high-dose aldesleukin and ipilimumab works in treating patients with stage III-IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Biological therapies, such as aldesleukin, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving high-dose aldesleukin together with ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with melanoma.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. The best overall response rate within the first 24 weeks of combination interleukin (IL)-2 (aldesleukin) and ipilimumab using the immune-related response criteria. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Best overall response (BOR). II. Progression-free survival (PFS). III. Disease control rate (DCR). IV. Overall survival. V. To collect data on the safety and feasibility of combined high-dose IL-2 and ipilimumab. VI. To evaluate the cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ and CD8+ T cell response in the tumor microenvironment and peripheral blood of patients treated on this study. OUTLINE: INDUCTION: Patients receive ipilimumab intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes on days 1, 22, 43, and 64 and high-dose aldesleukin IV on days 22-26 and 43-47. MAINTENANCE: Beginning on weeks 24, patients without disease progression or unacceptable toxicity receive ipilimumab IV over 90 minutes once every 12 weeks for up to 24 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 36 months. ;
