E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To further characterize efficacy of second line ipilimumab monotherapy 3mg/kg given according to the MDX010-20 protocol in a broad range of pretreated metastatic ocular melanoma patients with or without prior systemic treatment seen in daily clinical practice: • Overall survival rate at 12 months defined as the rate of patients alive 12 months after the date from the first study treatment for complete study population
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To explore safety and additional efficacy parameters of the ipilimumab treatment in certain subgroups: (cutaneous versus uveal versus mucosal melanoma; LDH < 2 ULN versus LDH 2 ULN; status brain metastases versus no brain metastases in medical history;b-raf mutation positive versus b-raf mutation negative) Secondary objectives are • Safety / toxicity according to the CTC Criteria (Version 4.0) • Efficacy according to immune-related response criteria (ir-RC) at any time during treatment • Efficacy according RECIST criteria • Progression free survival rate at 6 months • Overall survival • To explore clinical efficacy of ipilimumab in relation to b-raf mutation status, brain metastases and LDH

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Translational Research Programm Since ipilimumab is a T-cell potentiator it will most likely exert its effects on lymphocytes and other immune cells. Early clinical data suggest a correlation between early increase in ALC with clinical benefit after ipilimumab treatment (Yang et al., 2010; Ku et al., 2010). Furthermore, targeted therapy using agents such as PLX4032 are dependent in its efficacy on the presence of specific b-raf mutations. Based on requested blood samples and tumour tissue the following side studies are planned. Soluble Factors in Patients´ Serum Analysis of various soluble factors such as LDH, S-100, IL-8, IL-6; TNF, sFas, bFGF, S-100, VEGF using Multiplex protein technologies in sera of all patients before start of treatment and time point of first evaluation (week 12). In context, 20 ml venous blood will be collected once at the beginning of the study and thereafter at week 12, respectively. Levels will be compared with response and outcome. In context of this study, 2 ml EDTA “full blood” for HLA-typing and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis will be collected once at the beginning of the study or any other time point of the study. Full blood can be stored without further processing at -70°C. Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tissue is requested once from every patient. FFPEs blocks from histologically confirmed cutaneous melanoma such as primary tumor or subsequent metastases such as lymph node etc. will be eligable. Collecting samples of fresh tissue is optional. This tissue will be store at -70°C. DNA will be extracted and tissue micro arrays (TMAs) will be constructed to investigate tumor microenvironment and tumor infiltrating immune cells

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Inclusion Criteria Patients meeting all of the following criteria will be considered for admission to the trial: 1. Histologically proven ocular melanoma 2. Measurable disease according to RECIST in unresectable stage III-IV 3. Minimum age of 18 years, 4. Able and willing to give valid written inform consent 5. Patients with or without prior systemic treatment for advanced malignant melanoma are eligble . 6. In case of systemic pre-treatment, an interval of at least 28 days since treatment with chemotherapy, biochemotherapy, surgery, radiation, or immunotherapy is mandatory as well as recovery from any clinically significant toxicity experienced during treatment is recommended. Prior treatment must be completed by the time of ipilimumab administration. Palliative radiation therapy outside of the brain or therapeutic radiation to the brain after the patient’s condition is stabilized and systemic steroids required for the management of symptoms due to brain metastases is decreased to the lowest fixed dose possible and does not require the 28-day waiting period. Patient must have recovered from any acute toxicity associated with prior therapy. 7. Expected survival of at least six months 8. ECOG Performance Status 0, 1 or 2. 9. Within the last 2 weeks prior to study day 1 the following laboratory parameters, which should be within the ranges specified:
Lab Parameter Range White blood cells (WBC) 2500/mm3 (≥ 1 2.5 x 109/L) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1000/mm3 (≥ 1.0 x 109/L) Platelets 75.000/mm3 (≥ 75 x 109/L) Hemoglobin 9 g/dL ( 90 g/L; may be transfused) Creatinine 2.0 x ULN Bilirubine total 2.0 x ULN (excepted patients with Gilbert’s Syndrome, who must have a total bilirubin less than 3.0 mg/dL) ALT, AST 2.5 x ULN for patients without liver metastasis, 5 x ULN for patients with liver metastases 10. No childbearing potential or negative pregnancy test of women of childbearing potential performed within 7 days prior to the start of treatment. Women of childbearing potential (WOCP) must be using an effective method of contraception (Pearl-Index < 1, e.g. oral contraceptives, other hormonal contraceptives [vaginal products, skin patches, or implanted or injectable products], or mechanical products such as an intrauterine device or barrier methods [diaphragm, spermicides]) throughout the study and for up to 26 weeks after the last dose of investigational product, in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized. No men of fathering potential or men of fathering potential must be using an effective method of contraception to avoid conception throughout the study and for up to 26 weeks after the last dose of investigational product, in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized. WOCBP include any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or is not post-menopausal. Post-menopause is defined as: • Amenorrhea 12 consecutive months without another cause, or • For women with irregular menstrual periods and taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT), a documented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level 35 mIU/mL. Women who are using oral contraceptives, other hormonal contraceptives (vaginal products, skin patches, or implanted or injectable products), or mechanical products such as an intrauterine device or barrier methods (diaphragm, condoms, spermicides) to prevent pregnancy, or are practicing abstinence or where their partner is sterile (eg, vasectomy) should be considered to be of childbearing potential. WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) at Baseline within 7 days before the start of ipilimumab and at week 12. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Exclusion Criteria Patients will be excluded from the study for any of the following reasons: 1. The patient requires concomitant therapy with any of the following: IL 2, interferon, or other non-study immunotherapy regimens; cytotoxic chemotherapy; immunosuppressive agents; other investigation therapies; any other systemic therapy for cancer including any other experimental treatment. 2. The patient requires chronic use of systemic corticosteroids. Systemic steroids for management of symptoms due to brain mets should be avoided if possible or subject should be stable on the lowest clinically effective dose. Topical or inhalational steroids are permitted. 3. Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study treatment. 4. Active autoimmune disease: Patients with a history of inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s Diseasse, are excluded from this study, as are patients with a history of symptomatic disease (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic progressive sclerosis [scleroderma], systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune vasculitis [eg, Wegener’s Granulomatosis]); motor neuropathy considered of autoimmune origin (e.g. Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis). 5. Symptomatic CNS metastases (Remark: Asymptomatic stable, untreated or pretreated central nervous system (CNS) metastasis are allowed) 6. Family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency. 7. The patient is known to be positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or other chronic infections (HBV, HCV) or has another confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition. 8.

Lack of availability for clinical follow-up assessments. 10. The patient has concurrent severe medical problems, unrelated to the malignancy, that would significantly limit full compliance with the study or expose the patient to unacceptable risk. 11. Other serious illnesses, e.g., serious infections requiring antibiotics or bleeding disorders. 12. Patients with serious intercurrent illness, requiring hospitalization. 13. For female patients: the patient is pregnant or lactating. Women of childbearing potential: Refusal or inability to use effective means of contraception 14. Any underlying medical or psychiatric condition, which in the opinion of the investigator will make the administration of ipilimumab hazardous or obscure the interpretation of AEs, such as a condition associated with frequent diarrhea. 15. Subjects with melanoma who have another active, concurrent, malignant disease are not eligible for this trial, with the exception of adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix. 16.
