No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine 1) the safety of administration of topical 5% imiquimod cream with or without administration of a peptide-based vaccine in patients with cutaneous metastases of melanoma and 2) evaluate whether topical imiquimod at sites of melanoma metastasis, with or without vaccine, increases a) endothelial expression of E-selectin and b) T cell infiltration.

Conditions

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

MELITAC 12.1

Vaccine regimen: The vaccines will be administered in two treatment cycles. During cycle one, three vaccines will be administered over a 3-week period on days 1, 8, and 15. During cycle two, three vaccines will be administered over a 9-week period on days 36, 57, 78. Participants in cohort 1 will receive MELITAC 12.1 (100 mcg each of the12-MP and 200 mcg of Peptide-tet) administered subcutaneously (1 ml) and intradermally (1 ml) in Montanide ISA-51 VG adjuvant at a single vaccination site.

DRUG

Imiquimod

Topical Imiquimod regimen: Beginning on day 1, patients in cohorts 1 and 2 will have one or more cutaneous melanoma metastases treated topically with 5% imiquimod cream, with a dose of 1 to 3 packets of imiquimod daily, (depending on the extent of cutaneous metastases). Each packet contains 250 mg of cream and may be used for a surface area of up to 20 cm2. The number of lesions that are treated will be dependent on the availability and size of the lesions. In addition, if available, at least two lesions will be followed without treatment with the plan that they will be excised at week 3 (day 22) and week 6 (day 43), respectively, as controls. Imiquimod will be applied daily for seven days each week for 12 weeks. One course of treatment will be three weeks in duration, with evaluation by a clinician after every treatment course.
