Study Details

This is a Phase 2 study designed to evaluate the combination of checkpoint blockade and aldesleukin (IL-2) therapy after a course of standard of care palliative radiation in the management of unresectable metastatic melanoma. To be eligible, a patient must have a minimum of 3 (preferably \>5) radiographically distinct, measurable (\>1.5 cm) lesions based on RECIST 1.1. Metastatic cutaneous melanoma must be refractory to standard immunotherapy drugs, molecular targeted agents and/or chemotherapy. Patients with ocular melanoma subtypes may enroll in this study without prior therapy, as there is no standard front-line therapy for this subset of patients.
