Brief Title: Anti-CD20 (Cluster of Differentiation Antigen 20) Therapy to Treat Metastatic Melanoma
Official Title: CD20-Immunotargeting in Metastatic Melanoma Patients- A Prospective, Open Label, Sequential Pilot Study
Study ID: NCT01376713
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the overall disease control rate of Ofatumumab wo/w Dacarbazine in subjects with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC 2009) unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma.
Detailed Description: This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, sequential, 2-cohort, phase 2 study to assess the overall disease control rate of Ofatumumab according to criteria of RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) v. 1.1. in subjects with unresectable stage III B (T1- 4a, N2b-c), stage III C or stage IV (American Joint Committee on Cancer 2009) disease. Cohort 1: 10 eligible patients will be treated with ofatumumab alone. If interim analysis shows that at least 1 confirmed overall response occurs, an additional 19 eligible patients will be treated, for a total of 29 patients. Cohort 2: If no confirmed overall response by ofatumumab alone-therapy is seen in the first 10 patients, cohort 2 will be opened. Initially, 13 eligible patients will be treated with a combination of Dacarbazine plus ofatumumab. If interim analysis gives at least 2 confirmed overall responses, additional 26 patients will be recruited.
