Description
Summary
UV1 is a therapeutic cancer vaccine that has been explored in prostate, lung cancer, in combination with ipilimumab in malignant melanoma and in combination with pembrolizumab in metastatic melanoma. This study will explore the Efficacy and Safety of UV1 administered with GM-CSF in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab.
Official Title
Efficacy and Safety of UV1 Vaccination in Combination With Nivolumab and Ipilimumab as First Line Treatment of Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma (INITIUM Study)
Details
This is a randomized, open label study to investigate efficacy and safety of UV1 vaccination in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab as first line treatment of adult patients with histologically confirmed unresectable metastatic melanoma.
Patients in the experimental arm will receive 8 UV1 vaccinations over 4 cycles of nivolumab and ipilimumab. Patients in the control arm will receive 4 cycles of nivolumab and ipilimumab. Patients in both arms will start maintenance therapy 6 weeks after the last dose of induction therapy, nivolumab at a dose of 480 mg every 4 weeks.
All patients will be followed up until death or until the end of the study.
