Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and recommended phase 2 dose of a new drug, known as IMP321, in combination with pembrolizumab when given to patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Actual Enrollment :
24 participants
Intervention Model:
Sequential Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
Study is an open label, dose finding study consisting of 2 parts. In part A, the dose is escalated following the protocol-defined safety observation period of the previous cohort. Patients will receive 9 cycles Pembrolizumab in combination with IMP321. In part B, the dose was defined based on the dose escalation. The treatment duration will be expanded to 19 cycles in the combined treatment.Study is an open label, dose finding study consisting of 2 parts.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. To assess the recommended phase 2 dose [From the time of inform consent form signature until 30 days after end of treatment]

    2. To asses frequency of adverse events [From the time of inform consent form signature until 30 days after end of treatment]

    3. To asses severity of adverse events [From the time of inform consent form signature until 30 days after end of treatment]

    4. To asses duration of adverse events [From the time of inform consent form signature until 30 days after end of treatment]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Best overall response rate (ORR) to irRC and RECIST 1.1 [From the time of inform consent form signature until 30 days after end of treatment.]

    2. Time to next treatment (TTNT) [Up to 12 months]

    3. Progression-free survival [Up to 12 months]

    4. Overall survival (part B only) [Up to 12 months]
