Study Summary
This trial will study the safety of combining the drugs ipilimumab and carboplatin/paclitaxel to treat metastatic melanoma. It will also look at whether the combination can help patients and what features of the immune system may predict who will respond to the treatment.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced melanoma that can't be removed by surgery. Participants must have measurable disease, acceptable organ function, and no active infections like HIV or hepatitis. They should not have symptomatic brain lesions or autoimmune diseases, and must agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety of combining ipilimumab (an immune therapy) with carboplatin/paclitaxel (chemotherapy) in two dosing schedules for metastatic melanoma. It aims to assess clinical benefits and identify immune system factors predicting response to treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, infusion-related symptoms, blood abnormalities, fatigue, liver enzyme changes, and increased risk of infection. The severity of side effects may vary among individuals.

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Safety: Incidence of adverse events
Secondary outcome measures
Putative Early Cellular and/or Molecular Biomarker levels
To determine ORR and clinical benefit rate (ORR + SD ≥ 24 weeks), by immune related response criteria (irRC) and modified WHO criteria (mWHO) of ipilimumab when given with carboplatin and paclitaxel at two different dosing regimens.
To determine progression free survival (PFS) per irRC and mWHO of patients receiving ipilimumab with carboplatin and paclitaxel.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
What are the dangers that have been associated with Ipilimumab?
"While there is some evidence to support the safety of Ipilimumab, it only received a 2 because Phase 2 trials have not yet found efficacy data."
Answered by AI
Are patients currently being sought for this clinical trial?
"At the moment, this particular study is not recruiting. However, it was active in the past and was last updated on February 17th, 2021. There are 784 other trials for melanoma and 1534 for Ipilimumab that are currently looking for patients to enroll."
Answered by AI
For what purpose is Ipilimumab most often employed?
"Ipilimumab is often used to treat patients with terminal illnesses. It can also be administered to those suffering from cancer in their lymph nodes, fallopian tubes, and testicular germ cells that have become resistant to other treatments."
Answered by AI
How many people can join this trial at maximum capacity?
"This particular study has already wrapped up recruitment for new patients. The trial was first posted on November 1st, 2012 and the last update occurred on February 17th, 2021. There are presently 784 other trials actively recruiting patients with melanoma and 1534 studies for Ipilimumab that are looking for participants."
Answered by AI
Is Ipilimumab effective for other medical conditions?
"As of now, there are 1534 ongoing studies for Ipilimumab with 373 trials in Phase 3. While most of the studies for Ipilimumab are running out of China, 85559 locations worldwide are operating clinical trials for Ipilimumab."
