Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To asses safety and tolerability of combination therapy with Nivolumab and the PD-L1/IDO peptide vaccine with the adjuvant Montanide in patients with metastatic malignant melanoma;Secondary Objective: Assess the immunologic response to vaccination with PD-L1/IDO peptide in periferal blood before, during and after treatment. ;Primary end point(s): Safety and tolerability, primary end point will be assessed according to CTCAE version 4.0. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: First evaluation at baseline (prior first vaccination), then before every second subsequent vaccination and finaly during follow up (2 visits)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Development of a measurable vaccine related immune response;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Blood samples are drawn at baseline and thereafter every third month. Delayed type hypersensitivity skin test is performed after 6 vaccinations. Tumor biopsies are taken at baseline and after 6 vaccinations.
