Safety and Efficacy of DCB-BO1301 in Advanced Melanoma

Study Purpose

The primary study objectives are. 1. to evaluate the safety and tolerability profiles of DCB-BO1301 and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of DCB-BO1301 as add-on therapy to dacarbazine in subjects with advanced melanoma (Phase I) 2. to evaluate the efficacy profile of DCB-BO1301 at MTD or lower dose level as add-on therapy to dacarbazine in subjects with advanced melanoma in terms of progression free survival (Phase IIa)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects ≧ 20 years old (inclusive) 2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced melanoma, (stage III or IV) 3. Subject must have at least one of the following:
  • - Melanoma that was previously treated with at least one complete or partial course of therapy for melanoma with either a poor to no response or evidence of disease progression; - Melanoma that cannot be treated with first-line therapies because of medical comorbidities/risk of toxicity; or.
  • - Melanoma that has not been treated with first-line therapies because of patient refusal.

  • - If heterosexually active, must use at least 1 form of birth control (which must be a barrier method) starting at screening and through the primary study period.
8. Female subject must not be breastfeeding at screening, through the treatment period and through the primary study period. 9. Male subject and their female spouse/partners who are of childbearing potential must be using highly effective contraception consisting of 2 forms of birth control (1 of which must be a barrier method) starting at screening, through the treatment period and through the primary study period. 10.

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT02994498
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
