About this study

The proposed study is a first-in-man, placebo-controlled, dose escalation trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of three different doses of IMM-101 administered intradermally to melanoma patients. Additionally, the study aims to characterize local responses to this vaccine in order to delineate unexpected / unacceptable local reactions from those indicative of appropriate immunological response in this patient group.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • confirmed diagnosis of disease free stage III or stage IV melanoma (with or without metastases) or stable disease (if with metastases) and receiving no other treatment
  • willing to use effective contraception for the duration of the study
  • able to comply with the requirement to complete a diary card

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnant or lactating females
  • Major surgery within the 14 days preceding the screening visit
  • Suspicion of a previous infection with mycobacteria including previous tuberculosis (TB) prophylaxis
  • Treatment with another investigational medicinal product within the last 30 days prior to the screening visit
  • Previous treatment with M. vaccae
  • Exposure to Bacille Calmette Guérin vaccine (BCG) within the last 12 months
  • Concurrent uses of drugs likely to reduce inflammation at the local injection site or dampen/modulate the immune system
  • Depot injection of corticosteroids within 6 weeks of the screening visit or chronic systemic corticosteroids in the 2 weeks prior to the screening visit
  • Ongoing treatment with radiotherapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy or chemotherapy in the last 30 days prior to the screening visit

Treatment and study plan

Heat killed whole cell M. obuense (IMM-101) 0.1 mg

Biological

Each patient will receive an intradermal placebo injection of borate buffered saline solution (day -3) to provide an intra patient placebo control. Patients who were willing and able to proceed with the study will receive an intradermal injection of a single dose level of IMM 101 on three subsequent occasions. Doses of IMM 101 were administered over a 4 week period on days 0, 14 and 28.

Dose levels to be administered are 0.1 mg, 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Time frame: 56 days

    Safety and tolerability were measured with respect to:

    • Safety measurements
    • Local tolerability at the site of intradermal injection
    • Incidence of adverse events.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Administration Site Reactions

    Time frame: Day -3 to Day 56

    Local skin reactions are viewed as a normal and predicted reaction to exposure to a preparation of mycobacterial antigens. All patients experienced administration site reactions and all reactions were examined and characterised. However only those reported as adverse events are presented here.
