Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a pilot phase 1, open-label, single center, multi-dose, dose-escalation study of BMS-936558 in combination with or without a peptide vaccine.

The purpose of this study is to test the side effects of an investigational vaccine with an immune booster. Investigators also wish to find out its effects on the patient's immune system and whether it will shrink their melanoma.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: MART-1

Phase 1

Detailed Description

BMS-936558 will be administered as an i.v. infusion, using a volumetric pump with a 0.2 micron in-line filter at the protocol-specified dose(s) and rate.

The vaccine consists of the following peptides: gp100280-288 (288V), and NY-ESO-1157-165 (165V).

NOTE: *Patients in cohorts 1-5 will receive the peptide vaccine, but not those in cohort 6.

Blood samples are collected for pharmacokinetic and immunologic analysis.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically for 2 years.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Best Overall Response Rate (BORR) [2 years, 6 months]

      The primary analysis is the BORR as determined using irRC. The BORR will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to Response [2 years, 6 months]

      Time to response for participants with confirmed responses. Response categories: Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) Stable Disease (SD), Progressive Disease (PD); disease control rate (sum of response rate for CR+PR+SD).

    2. Duration of Response [2 years, 6 months]

      Duration of response for participants with confirmed responses. Response categories: Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) Stable Disease (SD), Progressive Disease (PD); disease control rate (sum of response rate for CR+PR+SD).
