NCT ID: NCT02493361
Brief Summary: This is a multicenter, Phase II, open-label, 42-patient single-arm trial of intratumoral pIL-12 electroporation (EP) in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with melanoma. Patients will be evaluated in 2 parts. Part A patients will be selected using a flow cytometric assay that quantifies intratumoral PD-1hiCD8+CTLA4+ "exhausted" lymphocytes in the tumor. Part B will enroll patients who have or are failing pembrolizumab at least 12 weeks after starting Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody alone or in combination, or, who have been selected using a flow cytometric assay that quantifies intratumoral PD-1hiCD8+CTLA4+ "exhausted" lymphocytes in the tumor.
Detailed Description: Closed to enrollment earlier than expected due to high response rate in order to advance to phase 2b in proven PD-1-refractory patients. A total of 24 patients were consented instead of the planned enrollment of 42 patients.
