Phase Ib: Toxicity and safety of treatment:<br>
DLT toxicities will be any unexpected SAE and AE deemed related to the
investigational treatment. DLT observation period ranges from week 1 to week +10
after last Ipilimumab infusion into third patient of cohort.<br>
The phase 1b part of the study will test the safety of the combination of RFA and
ipilimumab in a 3+3 design, and an expansion phase II cohort (consisting of 38
patients).<br>
The study will consist of 3 cohorts of each 3 patients, with an interval of 10 weeks
before opening the next dose escalation cohort after the last patient having received
the last ipilimumab treatment. The identified MTDL will be extended to 6 patients.<br>
The uveal melanoma patients will be treated in the phase Ib part with RFA +
ipilimumab in three dose escalation cohorts:<br>
Cohort 1: RFA + ipilimumab 0.3 mg/kg, 4x, q3wk;<br>
Cohort 2: RFA + ipilimumab 3 mg/kg, 4x, q3wk;<br>
Cohort 3: RFA + ipilimumab 10 mg/kg, 4x, q3wk.<br>
Cohort 1 consists of three patients. If 1 DLT is observed then a cohort 2 consisting of additional 3 patients is opened. If 2 DLT of the 6 patients is observed then the
discontinuation of the study will be discussed with the ethics committee and BMS.
In the case of no or only 1 DLT among the 6 patients included in the DLT cohort the
study will continue to accrue to a total of 38 patients at that dosis level.<br>
DLT is also defined as the following treatment-related adverse events or laboratory
abnormalities, graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology
Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.0:<br>
1. Non-hematological toxicity ¡Ý grade 3;<br>
2. irAE ¡Ý grade 3;<br>
3. Dosing delay ¡Ý 3 weeks due to toxicity;<br>
4. Hepatic bleeding grade 3 or 4;<br>
5. Treatment related hepatic failure grade 3 or 4.<br>
Grade and type of adverse events in all patients.
<br><br>
Phase II extension: Efficacy and safety.<br>
Response rate as measured by irRC of intra- and extrahepatic lesions, excluding the metastasis that is treated by RFA) at week 12 from the start of RFA and ipilimumab treatment. Response as well as progression will require confirmation through a subsequent scan at least 4 weeks apart.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
This is an open label, non-randomized, single centre, mono-arm phase II trial, evaluating the efficacy (as measured by irRC) and safety of the combination of RFA and Ipilimumab in patients with at least two unresectable hepatic metastases of uveal melanoma in first line systemic treatment. This study will include patients >18 years, with histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable metastatic uveal melanoma, who have a performance status of 0-1.
Doel van het onderzoek
Uveal melanoma is an uncommon malignancy (0.6-0.7 cases/100.000/year) that, in the case of metastatic stage, has a poor prognosis for response to treatment and survival. It is remarkable for its purely hematogenous pattern of dissemination, most commonly to the liver (60%) and lungs (25%). Only 28 phase I-II studies were performed in uveal melanoma patients between 1980 and 2008, none of them showing convincing improvements of overall survival rates. Current approaches using chemoembolization with cisplatin-based regimens or intrahepatic artery administration of fotemustin resulted in response rates of up to 40% without increasing the overall survival rates beyond 12 months. Ipilimumab has been shown to improve OS in cutaneous melanoma in two phase III studies and seems to have activity in uveal melanoma, based on own experience from another group. Based on preclinical data and the observed activity of ipilimumab monotherapy in uveal melanoma this study will test the safety and efficacy of a combination of RFA and ipilimumab in uveal melanoma patients that have unresectable liver metastases.

6. Local pretreatment of uveal melanoma metastases is allowed, except for chemotherapy containing procedures (e.g. chemoembolisation), and as long patients have progresses with at least two measurable lesions now;
7. No concurrent immunosuppressive medications (including dexamethason, prednisolon, azathioprin);
8. Screening laboratory values must meet the following criteria: WBC ¡Ý 2.0x109/L, Neutrophils ¡Ý1.0x109/L, Platelets ¡Ý100 x109/L, Hemoglobin ¡Ý5.5 mmol/L, Creatinine ¡Ü2x ULN, AST ¡Ü 5 x ULN, ALT ¡Ü5 x ULN, Total bilirubin ¡Ü3 X ULN, INR and PTT in normal range, LDH ¡Ü 2x ULN;
