Intralesional Influenza Vaccine for Patients With Melanoma
Carlo Contreras
Summary
This phase I trial investigates the effects of influenza vaccine in treating patients with stage I-IV melanoma. While intramuscular administration of influenza vaccine provides immunization against the influenza virus, giving influenza vaccine directly into the tumor (intralesional) may decrease the size of the injected melanoma tumor, or the extent of the melanoma within the body.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose of intralesional (quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (unadjuvanted influenza vaccine) for patients with a) resectable melanoma as monotherapy, and b) metastatic melanoma, concurrent with standard of care (single- or dual-agent) checkpoint inhibition. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate tumor dimensions of injected (Cohorts #1-2) and non-injected lesions (Cohort #2 only), by caliper or ultrasound measurement. (Clinical endpoint) II. To determine time to disease progression (local o…
