Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The project aims to prospectively evaluate the effect of anti-PD-1 antibodies alone or in combination with anti-CTLA-4 antibodies in patients with melanoma metastasized to the brain in need of steroid treatment;Secondary Objective: Not applicable ;Primary end point(s): -6 months progression-free survival rate -6 months overall survival rate;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: When patients have been treated with study drugs for 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Overall progression-free survival - Overall survival - Overall response rate according to modified RECIST 1.1 - Extracranial response rate in extracranial lesions according to modified RECIST 1.1 - Intracranial response rate in intracranial lesions according to modified RECIST 1.1 - Intracranial clinical benefit rate (CR+PR+SD) – proportion of patients with an overall complete, partial response or stable disease = 6 months according to modified RECIST 1.1 - Blood and tissue biomarkers of response and progression;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After all patients have ended treatment.
