PHOENIX-ECP- Extracorporeal Photopheresis for Immune-related Colitis and/or Hepatitis in Advanced Melanoma With Inadequate Response to Steroid Exposure

Sponsor: Therakos LLC

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an immunomodulatory therapy in which the photoactivating agent methoxsalen (also known as UVADEX) is used in combination with ultraviolet A (UVA) light. Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy is widely used for the treatment of several cancers, including melanoma. However, a common immune-related adverse event associated with this therapy is Immune-related colitis or hepatitis. Corticosteroids are typically the first-line treatment for this condition, but some participants do not respond adequately. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ECP in the treatment of immune-related (ir)-colitis and ir-hepatitis with inadequate response to corticosteroids, and to compare its efficacy to other second-line immunosuppressant therapies. The ECP procedure in this study is performed using the CELLEX® device, a fully closed-loop extracorporeal blood circulation device. The CELLEX device is used in conjunction with methoxsalen.

Official title: PHOENIX- A Phase 2, Randomized, Controlled, Open-label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety/Tolerability of Extracorporeal Photopheresis (ECP) Versus Best Available Therapy (BAT) for the Treatment of Immune-related Colitis or Hepatitis With Inadequate Response to Corticosteroids in Participants With Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma Treated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI)
