Induction of Immune-mediated aBscOpal Effect thrOugh STEreotactic Radiation Therapy in Metastatic Melanoma Patients Treated by PD-1 + CTLA-4 Inhibitors (BOOSTER MELANOMA)

NCT03354962

Description:

This study is a phase I/II, multicenter, open-label study starting with a phase I part followed by a Phase II part. The phase I part of the study aims at evaluating the safety and efficacy (in terms of abscopal effect at week 6) of the treatment combination schema of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and PD-1 plus CTLA-4 inhibitors in patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients will be assigned in one of 3 cohorts depending the metastatic site. 18 patients will be enrolled in each cohort. Once the recommended optimal radiotherapy dose has been declared for the 3 cohorts, patients will be enrolled in the phase II part of the study in order to evaluate the activity (progression-free survival at 6 months) of SBRT given in combination with immune checkpoints inhibitors in patients with metastatic melanoma. 66 patients will be included in the phase II.

                1. Patients with histologically-proven metastatic and/or unresectable melanoma (stage
                   IIIc-IV, M1a-c as per AJCC 8th Edition), including mucosal melanoma, without evidence
                   of active intra-cranial disease.
      
                2. Patients with tumor PD-L1 expression <1%.
