Safety of AV-MEL-1 With Anti-PD-1 Therapy in Metastatic Melanoma

Phase 1B Trial of AV-MEL-1 (Autologous Dendritic Cells Loaded With Autologous Tumor Antigens) With Anti-PD-1 Checkpoint Inhibitors in Metastatic Melanoma


Sponsor

Aivita Biomedical, Inc.

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Apr 21, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is an open label, single-arm, phase IB treatment study to determine the safety of administering anti-PD1 monoclonal antibodies with AV-MEL-1 and to get some suggestion of efficacy, in patients with measurable metastatic melanoma. The study is open to patients who have either never received treatment for metastatic melanoma or were previously treated with anti-PD-1 with or without anti-CTLA-4 or with enzymatic inhibitors of the BRAF/MEK pathway because of BRAF600E/K mutations, and are about to initiate anti-PD-1 monotherapy. The intent is to treat 14 to 20 patients with the combination of anti-PD-1 and AV-MEL-1.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial is studying an experimental personalized cancer vaccine (AV-MEL-1) combined with a standard immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1) for people with melanoma that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic melanoma). **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with metastatic melanoma - You have at least one melanoma lesion that your doctor plans to surgically remove as part of your standard care - You are in reasonably good health (Karnofsky Performance Status above 70) - You are over 18 years of age **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have melanoma that has not spread (non-metastatic) - You have no lesions suitable for surgical removal - You have autoimmune conditions that would be worsened by immunotherapy - You have active brain metastases - You are currently on immunosuppressive therapy Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
