Clinical Study of Previously Untreated Patients With Malignant Melanoma

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Previously untreated patients with malignant melanoma receive a new chemotherapy drug currently under development. CP-4055 is given intravenously on days 1-5 every four weeks until complete response or disease progression.

Clinical Trial Description

This is an international multicentre phase II clinical study conducted in the USA and Europe. Previously untreated patients over 18 years, with metastatic malignant melanoma are eligible for inclusion if they fulfil all inclusion- and exclusion criteria. 16 or 42 patients will be enrolled in Pittsburgh USA, Lund Sweden and Oslo Norway.

The new development drug CP-4055 is administered for five consecutive days (Day 1 to 5) in a 4 week schedule (one cycle). The dose is 200 mg/m2/day.

A patient will continue treatment until complete response or until (s)he is withdrawn from the Clinical Study because of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or any other reason described in the clinical study protocol.

Efficacy is assessed at baseline and end of every second cycle with CT or MRI.

Safety assessments are done at each visit. Blood samples are taken and haematological and biochemical parameters are assessed for safety.

Any adverse events are recorded and reported.

The clinical study has been approved by the relevant Independent Ethical Committees/Institutional Review Boards and Concerned Regulatory Authority as appropriate. It is conducted according to ICH Good Clinical Practice, the Declaration of Helsinki, and applicable national law and regulations.

Patients who give an additional consent will have two additional, and not mandatory, procedures performed:

- Biopsy (tissue sample) from particular tumours (taken only at baseline for identification of tumour genes)

- Serum samples (from blood drawn at baseline and at end of the cycle 2 for protein sequences analyses, proteomics) ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
