Brief Title: Study of NY-ESO-1 ISCOMATRIX® in Patients With Measurable Stage III or IV Melanoma
Official Title: A Phase II Study of the Clinical and Immunological Effects of NY-ESO-1 ISCOM® Vaccine in Patients With Measurable Stage III and IV Malignant Melanoma
Study ID: NCT00518206
Brief Summary: This was a Phase 2, open-label study of the NY-ESO-1 ISCOMATRIX® (ISCOM) vaccine administered as an intramuscular injection given every 4 weeks to subjects with measurable advanced malignant melanoma. Study objectives included determination of the anticancer activity, cellular and humoral immunogenicity, and safety and tolerability of the NY-ESO-1 ISCOM vaccine administered alone or preceded by a single administration of low-dose cyclophosphamide.
Detailed Description: In Cohort 1, 6 subjects were initially vaccinated with the NY-ESO-1 ISCOM vaccine at a dose of 100 µg of the NY-ESO-1 protein + 120 µg of the ISCOM adjuvant. These 6 subjects were monitored for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) for 7 days after the first vaccination. Upon observation of tolerability (ie, \< 2/6 subjects with DLT), enrollment proceeded to a total accrual of approximately 25 subjects. Subjects received 3 vaccinations administered every 4 weeks (ie, weeks 1, 5, and 9) followed by immunological and clinical response evaluations, with clinical responses categorized according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). In the absence of disease progression, subjects may have received 3 additional vaccinations administered every 4 weeks, followed by additional vaccinations administered every 12 weeks thereafter until development of disease progression or other criteria for discontinuation. In Cohort 2, subjects received the NY-ESO-1 ISCOM vaccine on the same schedule as described for Cohort 1, but Cohort 2 subjects also received a single intravenous infusion of low-dose cyclophosphamide 1 day prior to each NY-ESO-1 ISCOM vaccination. If responses were observed in 2 of 16 subjects initially treated in Cohort 2, then 9 additional subjects were to be accrued to Cohort 2, for a total potential accrual of 25 subjects.
