Triple-Drug cocktail takes on advanced melanoma

NCT ID NCT04091750

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 This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 phase II study tests a combination of three drugs—nivolumab, ipilimumab, and cabozantinib—in 14 people with advanced melanoma that cannot be surgically removed. Participants receive the drugs for up to two years. The main goal is to see how long the cancer stays under control. The study is active but no longer recruiting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
nivolumab (Opdivo), ipilimumab (Yervoy), and cabozantinib (Cabometyx)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase study with only 14 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug combination can cause significant side effects, and it is not yet known if it works better than existing treatments.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. All patients must have unresectable stage IIIb-IIId or IV melanoma by AJCC 8th edition. Note: Patients with uveal melanoma are excluded from this study. 2. Age \> 18 and ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1. 3. Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 4. Baseline tumor specimen available. 5. Recovery to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 CTCAE v4 from toxicities related to any prior treatments, unless AE(s) are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportive therapy. 6. Adequate organ and marrow function. 7. Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and must have signed the informed consent document. 8. Sexually active fertile subjects and their partners must agree to use medically accepted methods of contraception (eg, barrier methods, including male condom, female condom, or diaphragm with spermicidal gel) during the course of the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study treatment. 9. Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant at screening. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, anti-CTLA-4 therapy or cabozantinib. Prior adjuvant anti-PD-1 and/or anti-CTLA-4 therapy is allowed if relapse is greater than 6 months from last dose. 2. Receipt of any type of small molecule kinase inhibitor (including investigational kinase inhibitor) within 2 weeks before first dose of study treatment. 3. Receipt of any type of cytotoxic, biologic or other systemic anticancer therapy (including investigational) within 4 weeks before first dose of study treatment. 4. Radiation therapy for bone metastasis or brain metastasis within 2 weeks, any other radiation therapy within 4 weeks before first dose of study treatment. Systemic treatment with radionuclides within 6 weeks before the first dose of study treatment. 5. Known brain metastases that are \>10mm or cranial epidural disease unless adequately treated with radiosurgery and/or surgery (including radiosurgery). Eligible subjects must be neurologically asymptomatic and without corticosteroid requirement. Dexamethasone \< 2mg daily (or equivalent) will be allowed if discontinuation of corticosteroids is not feasible due to post-radiation effects and patient is asymptomatic. Patients with active, asymptomatic brain metastases that are \<10mm and no corticosteroid requirement will be allowed without radiosurgery or surgery. 6. History of active autoimmune disorder requiring immunosuppressive agents. Patients with autoimmune disorders considered low risk, such as vitiligo and thyroiditis, will be allowed. 7. Concomitant anticoagulation with coumarin agents (e.g., warfarin), direct thrombin inhibitors (e.g. dabigatran), betrixaban, or platelet inhibitors (eg, clopidogrel). Allowed anticoagulants are the following: 1. Prophylactic use of Low-dose aspirin for cardio-protection (per local applicable guidelines) and low-dose low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) are permitted. 2. Anticoagulation with therapeutic doses of LMWH or anticoagulation with direct factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban, edoxaban, or apixaban is allowed in subjects without known brain metastases who are on a stable dose of LMWH anticoagulant for at least 6 weeks 1week before first dose of study treatment, and who have had no clinically significant hemorrhagic complications from the anticoagulation regimen or the tumor. 8. The subject has prothrombin time (PT)/INR or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test ≥ 1.3 x the laboratory ULN within 7 days before the first dose of study treatment. 9. The subject has uncontrolled, significant intercurrent or recent illness. 10. Major surgery (eg, GI surgery, removal or biopsy of brain metastasis) within 8 weeks before first dose of study treatment. 11. Corrected QT interval calculated by the Fridericia formula (QTcF) \> 500 ms per electrocardiogram (ECG) within 28 days before first dose of study treatment. 12. Pregnant or lactating females. 13. Inability to swallow tablets. 14. Previously identified allergy or hypersensitivity to components of the study treatment formulations. 15. Diagnosis of another malignancy within 2 years before first dose of study treatment, except for superficial skin cancers, or localized, low grade tumors deemed cured and not treated with systemic therapy. 16. Subjects with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of study drug administration. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement doses \> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.
