Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the safety of intralesional (IL) PV-10 for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. This study will also include a preliminary assessment of response of treated and untreated lesions by clinical evaluation at follow-up of 12 to 24 weeks following IL PV-10 treatment.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: PV-10 (rose bengal disodium, 10%)
 Phase 1

Detailed Description

This is a two center, open label, ascending dose study. Subjects with at least two measurable melanoma lesions will receive a single intralesional injection of 10% PV-10 solution into each of one to twenty (20) target lesions. Additionally, one to three measurable untreated non-target lesions will be followed for assessment of bystander response. Systemic and locoregional adverse events will be monitored over the study interval. Dose escalation will be made only if no subjects at the first dose level have a Grade 3 non-hematological or Grade 4 hematological toxicity over a period of two weeks after PV-10 administration. Subject accrual and PV-10 administration at the second dose level will be stopped if more than 1 subject has a treatment related Grade 3 non-hematological or Grade 4 hematological toxicity within a period of two weeks after PV-10 administration.

  • Platelet count at least 100,000/mm3

  • Renal function:

  • Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL

  • Hepatic function:

  • Bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL

  • AST/ALT ≤ 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

  • Cardiovascular function:

  • No major cardiovascular disease

  • Adequate immune system function in the opinion of the investigator

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Radiation therapy within 4 weeks or to any study lesion within 12 weeks

  • Chemotherapy or other systemic cancer therapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin) or regional chemotherapy (limb infusion or perfusion) within 12 weeks

  • Concurrent illness:

  • Severe diabetes or extremity complications due to diabetes

  • Significant concurrent disease or illness, psychiatric disorders, or alcohol or chemical dependence that would, in the opinion of the investigator, compromise subject safety or compliance or interfere with interpretation of study results

  • Thyroid autoregulatory dysfunction, including thyroid disease (subclinical or ongoing), goiter, partial thyroidectomy, prior radioiodine- or surgically-treated Graves' hyperthyroidism, or cystic fibrosis

  • Pregnancy or fertile female subjects who are not using effective contraception

  • Concurrent medications:

  • Subjects taking medications with a significant risk of photosensitization, such as thiazides, within one week (or 5 half-lives) of study treatment.
