E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of RFA and Ipilimumab in patients with unresectable, pathologically confirmed hepatic metastases of uveal melanoma |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To determine immune-related progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), clinical response benefit (irCR, irPR, and irSD as defined by irRC), and immune-related duration of response (for patients achieving an objective response);
To evaluate changes in immunological and genetic parameters pre- and post- treatment with the combination of RFA and Ipilimumab;
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Adults at least 18 years of age
2. Performance Status 0 or I
3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable metastatic uveal melanoma
4. Subjects must have at least two liver metastases (one irRC measurable) – at least one feasible for RFA
5. No prior systemic or local treatment
6. No immunosuppressive medications
8. Women of child bearing potential must agree to use a reliable form of contraceptive during the study treatment period and for at least 70 days following the last dose of study drug
9. Men must agree to the use of male contraception during the study treatment period and for at least 180 days after the last dose of study drug.
10. Absence of additional severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent disease
11. No prior, or ongoing other malignancy, except adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, cervical cancer in situ or adequately treated other cancer with eradicative intent for which the patient has been continuously disease-free for > 2 years.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Cerebral or meningeal metastasized uveal melanoma
2. Subjects with any active autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease, or history of syndrome that required systemic steroids or immunosuppressive medications, except for subjects with vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy;
3. Prior immunotherapy
4. Known history of infection with HIV
5. Active infection requiring therapy, positive serology for Hepatitis B surface antigen or Hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA)
6. Underlying medical conditions that, in the Investigator's opinion, will make the administration of study treatment hazardous or obscure the interpretation of toxicity determination or adverse events;
7. Concurrent medical condition requiring the use of immunosuppressive medications, or immunosuppressive doses of systemic or absorbable topical corticosteroids;
8. History of or current immunodeficiency disease, splenectomy or splenic irradiation; prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation;
9. Use of other investigational drugs before study drug administration for systemic malignancy
10. Pregnancy or nursing.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Efficacy
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.
Toxicity and safety of treatment
* 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.
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 first 6 patients included the study will continue to accrue to a total of 34 patients.
* 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:
1. Non-hematological toxicity ≥ grade 3
2. irAE ≥ grade 3
3. Dosing delay ≥ 3 weeks due to toxicity
4. Hepatic bleeding grade 3 or 4
5. Treatment related hepatic failure grade 3 or 4
* Grade and type of adverse events in all patients

|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary end point will be evaluated at 12 weeks after first admission of study drug. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Efficacy
* OS;
* irPFS;
* Clinical response benefit (irCR, irPR, and irSD as defined by irRC criteria);
