Phase I Protocol for the Evaluation of the Safety and Immunogenicity of Vaccination With a Synthetic Melanoma Peptide in Patients With High Risk Melanoma
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating QS21, IFA (incomplete Freund's adjuvant), and 3 other interventions for Melanoma (Skin). Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from peptide 946 may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Combining these vaccines with proteins from the tetanus vaccine, and/or with either QS21 or Montanide ISA-51 may be an effective treatment for metastatic melanoma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase I trial to study the effectiveness of vaccines made from peptide 946 with or without tetanus peptide, QS21, or Montanide ISA-51 in treating patients with metastatic melanoma that cannot be surgically removed or with melanoma that is likely to recur.

Interventions
vaccine adjuvant
Peptides emulsified in IFA.
This a nonamer peptide YLEPGPVTA from Gp100, used as a melanoma vaccine antigen.
This peptide is a longer version of p946 (gp100 \[280-288\]) sythesized colinearly with the tetanus helper peptide (Tet-p)
modified form of the p2 peptide from tetanus toxoid, used as nonspecific epitope for helper T cells.
