Melanoma Clinical Trial Update

A Phase 2 study of intralesional PV-10 in the treatment of metastatic melanoma, (study ID PV-10-MM-02), is currently in progress. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of intralesional (IL) PV-10 for locoregional treatment of metastatic melanoma. More details of the study are available at the U.S. National Institutes of Health ClinicalTrials.gov website.

A Phase 1 safety and tolerability study of intralesional PV-10 chemoablation in subjects with metastatic melanoma, (study ID PV-10-MM-01), has been completed. The objective of this study was to investigate the safety of intralesional (IL) PV-10 for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. This study also included a preliminary assessment of response of treated and untreated lesions by clinical evaluation at follow-up of 12 to 24 weeks following IL PV-10 treatment. More details of this study are available at the U.S. National Institutes of Health ClinicalTrials.gov website.
