NCT ID NCT01397708

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-phase trial tested a new approach for people with advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The treatment combines a gene therapy injected directly into tumors with an oral drug that activates the therapy. The goal was to see if the combination is safe and tolerable. 26 participants were enrolled, and the study is now complete.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a gene therapy (Ad-RTS-hIL-12) injected into tumors plus an oral activator drug (veledimex)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new way to treat advanced melanoma by boosting the immune system directly inside tumors.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 26 people, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment involves gene therapy and can cause side effects like inflammation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males or females of all races ≥ 18 years of age, who have provided written informed consent prior to completing any study specific procedure. * Unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma arising from any site other than ocular melanoma. * A minimum of 2 accessible nonvisceral lesions (shortest diameter ≥1 cm) or palpable tumor-involved lymph nodes (shortest diameter ≥1.5 cm). * ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 (Appendix 1). * Adequate bone marrow, liver, and renal function. * An expected survival of at least approximately 6 months. * Male and female subjects must agree to use a highly reliable method of birth control (expected failure rate less than 5% per year) from the screening visit through 28 days after the last dose of study drug. Exclusion Criteria: * Any prior anti-cancer therapy or investigational agent within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug. (NOTE: For the expansion cohort ONLY, if subjects received ipilimumab, a 90-day washout period since last dose of ipilimumab is required. If subjects received other immunomodulating therapies (eg, anti-PD1 antibodies), the medical monitor should be contacted and an evaluation will be made.) * Clinically significant infection requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy within 2 weeks of the first dose of study drug. * History of HIV infection. * Active autoimmune disease requiring steroids (\>10 mg prednisone or comparable) or other immunosuppressive therapy (e.g., methotrexate, etc.). * Documented symptomatic brain metastases. Screening for brain lesions by CT or MRI is not required for all potential subjects; however, if there are any neurological signs or symptoms consistent with brain metastases, then a brain CT or MRI should be performed as clinically indicated. * Any medications that induce, inhibit or are substrates of CYP450 3A4 within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug. * Prior history of hematopoietic stem cell transplant or organ allograft. * Other concurrent clinically active malignant disease, with the exception of other cancers of the skin. * Females who are nursing or pregnant. * Subjects who have a history of hypersensitivity that may relate to any component of the study drugs, e.g. to benzoic acid since INXN-1001 contains two benzene rings. * Unstable or clinically significant concurrent medical condition that would, in the opinion of the investigator, jeopardize the safety of a subject and/or their compliance with the protocol.
