* Ipilimumab at 3 mg/kg IV over 90 minutes on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles.
* Nivolumab at 1 mg/kg IV over 30 minutes on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles, then at 240 mg IV over 30 minutes on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle for up to 20 doses
* Within 2 weeks of the start of ipilimumab (before or after), treatment with Optune will begin. All patients will be required to shave their heads to initiate array placement and Optune therapy.
* Treatment may continue for up to 1 year

-Optune is programmed by Novocure to deliver 200 kHz TTFields in two sequential, perpendicular field directions at a maximal intensity of 707mARMS.

George Ansstas, M.D.

This phase II study will evaluate the safety of combining intermediate frequency electric field (TT Field) with immunotherapy in melanoma patients with brain metastasis. The data of this study will also inform whether this combination will offer advantage in progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival.

Phase II Study of Optune Device - TT Field Plus Nivolumab and Ipilimumab for Melanoma With Brain Metastasis

* The PFS time will be calculated as the duration of time from the date of first dose of study treatment to the date of earliest intracranial progression or death, whichever occurs first.
* Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions).

-Defined as the duration of time from the date of first dose of study treatment to death from any cause.

* Defined as the percentage of patients with a confirmed intracranial complete or partial response
* Using modified RANO criteria

* Defined as the percentage of patients with a confirmed extracranial complete or partial response
* Using modified RANO criteria

* Defined as the duration of time from the date of first dose of study treatment to the date of earliest extracranial progression or death, whichever occurs first. Patients who neither progress nor die by the data cutoff date will be censored at the last follow up.
* Using modified RANO criteria

Region of Enrollment

The study was opened to enrollment from 07/01/2019 through 03/09/2022. The study was terminated early due to low enrollment. The low enrollment was due to the COVID-19 pandemic and no external referrals for the trial. The Principal Investigator reached out to other academic institutions about opening the trial but there was not any interest.
