Pembrolizumab in Systemic Treatment-Naïve Distant Metastatic Melanoma and Exploration of Use of Baseline 11C-methyl-L-tryptophan (C11-AMT) PET Imaging as a Predictive Imaging Biomarker of Antitumor Response
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating FDG PET/CT scan, C11-AMT PET scan, and 2 other interventions for Melanoma. Completed, enrolled 27 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Explore the association between intensity of 11C-methyl-L-tryptophan (C11-AMT) positron emission tomography (PET) at baseline, as measured by mean standardized uptake value (SUVmax) at each lesion, total tumor metabolic volume, measurement of intra-tumoral and inter-lesional heterogeneity, with objective response rate (ORR) at 12 weeks (as defined via RECIST 1.1) to pembrolizumab in patients with treatment-naïve metastatic melanoma.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
18F-fluorodeoxy glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) with intravenous (IV) contrast images are obtained before and at the end study treatment (pembrolizumab infusion).
11C-methyl-L-tryptophan (C11-AMT) positron emission tomography (PET) images are obtained before study treatment (pembrolizumab infusion).
200 mg Pembrolizumab IV administered over 30 minutes on day 1. Repeat every 3 weeks for 4 cycles, until progression, or subject withdrawal for other reasons
Computerized tomography (CT) images are taken without IV contrast before the treatment (pembrolizumab infusion) and with IV contrast 3 months after the treatment start.
