Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: - Establish CD40L transgene expression - Evaluate systemic exposure of vector - Evaluate immune profile shifts post treatment - Tumor response ;Main Objective: Part 1 - To evaluate the feasibility of repeated intra-tumor AdCD40L injections of malignant melanoma patients with metastases by studying tolerance and toxicity. Part 2 - To evaluate the feasibility of repeated local treatment of cyclophosphamide preconditioned malignant melanoma patients with metastases by studying the tolerance and toxicity during and after repeated cycles of AdCD40L injections. ;Primary end point(s): - Registration of the safety profile such as local inflammation, fever, pain, changes in blood pressure, pulse and other adverse events. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3, 5 and 9 weeks post treatment initiation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Determination of the level of CD40L (mRNA and protein) in blood and biopsies - Determination of the vector level (DNA) in blood and biopsies - Determination of the presence of immunological markers for anti-tumor responses in blood and biopsies. - Determination of tumor size and the tumor marker S100. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3, 5 and 9 weeks post treatment initiation
