Study to Evaluate Impact® As Support to Anti PD1 Treatment in Patients with Inoperable Locally Advanced or Metastatic Melanoma

Study Purpose

This is a monocentric, prospective study evaluating the effectiveness in reducing immune-related adverse events, and translational study conducted on 20 patients with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic melanoma. The patients will be treated with Oral Impact® administered at the dose of two bricks/day for 21 days + one brick/day for 14 days, starting exactly one week before Anti PD-1 treatment (nivolumab) as per clinical practice, administered up to two years. The comparison will be done with historical literature data on patients matched by age, sex, disease stage, and therapy dosage, not treated with Impact.

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.

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.

NCT06880198
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.
