The Efficacy and Safety of Neoadjuvant Toripalimab Combined With Temozolomide in Resectable Stage III Melanoma

Study Purpose

This study is being conducted to explore the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant toripalimab combined with temozolomide in resectable stage III melanoma.

Recruitment Criteria

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.

  • - With history of allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
  • - With immunodeficiency, eg HIV, HBV, HCV.
  • - Have a clear history of serious and uncontrolled other disease or mental disorders.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

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.

NCT05827770
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.

Phase 2

Melanoma Stage III
Additional Details

This trial is a prospective, single-center, single-arm clinical research. Unlike seen in Caucasians, checkpoint inhibitors have not obtained satisfactory results in Chinese patients. Exploring the curative effects of combination therapies in melanoma and their potential synergetic mechanism will improve the prognosis of patients. Recent retrospective data in our center showed that the objective response rate (ORR) of immunotherapy plus chemotherapy in advanced melanoma reached 40%, which was higher than immunotherapy (12.5%) and chemotherapy (4%) alone as front-line therapies. This study is aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of toripalimab combined with temozolomide in patients with resectable stage III melanoma. The safety and efficacy of this study will be assessed through ORR, DCR, PFS, OS, and adverse effects as graded by CTCAE 5.0.
