Study Summary

This trial will test whether adding Interleukin-2 to standard ipilimumab and nivolumab treatment will improve outcomes for people with advanced melanoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced melanoma who have had prior anti-PD1 immunotherapy but their disease got worse. They must be in good health otherwise, not have serious heart issues or brain metastasis, and agree to use contraception. It's not for those with autoimmune diseases on steroids, other cancers (unless free of disease for over 2 years), or recent treatments that they haven't recovered from.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if giving Interleukin-2 at the same time as ipilimumab followed by nivolumab can better fight advanced melanoma. Participants will receive these drugs sequentially to see if this combination improves cancer control compared to previous treatments they've received.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions like inflammation in different organs, skin rash, hormone gland problems (like thyroid dysfunction), fatigue, and flu-like symptoms due to interleukin-2; gastrointestinal issues and potential liver toxicity could also occur.

HD IL2 (600,000 units/kg/dose IV) will be given during week 1 of the 2 initial cycles or each course. Ipilimumab will be given concurrently at the low dose of 1 mg/kg during week one of the 2 initial cycles of each course for up to 2 doses, total. Nivolumab will be given on during week one of the 3rd cycle of each course. No systemic treatment will be administered during the 4th cycle. Patients without evidence of disease progression (RECIST v.1.1) or limiting toxicities will be offered additional courses of treatment for up to a maximum of 3 courses, total.
