Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma, for whom treatment with ipilimumab

- hemoglobin: = 10 g/dL;

- neutrophil count: = 1.5 x 10^9/L;

- lymphocyte count: = lower limit of normal (LLN);

- platelet count: = 80 x 10^9/L;

- serum creatinine: = 2 mg/dL;

- serum bilirubin: = 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN);

- aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT): = 2 x ULN.

3. Active autoimmune disease, symptoms or conditions except for vitiligo, type I
diabetes, treated thyroiditis, asymptomatic laboratory evidence of autoimmune disease
(e.g., +antinuclear antibody [ANA], +rheumatoid factor [RF], antithyroglobulin
antibodies), or mild arthritis requiring no therapy or manageable with nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

4. Unresolved immune-related adverse events following prior biological therapy.

5. Systemic treatment with high-dose corticosteroids (greater than prednisone 10 mg daily

contraception for the duration of the study.

18. Any condition that, in the clinical judgment of the treating physician, was likely to
prevent the patient from complying with any aspect of the protocol or that may have
put the patient at unacceptable risk.

Summary
Brief summary
This was a Phase 1, open-label, non-randomized study of the combination of NY-ESO-1 plus
ipilimumab in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma for whom treatment with
ipilimumab was indicated. Patients must have had evidence of NY-ESO-1 or LAGE-1 tumor
positivity and radiologically measurable disease by the immune-related Response Criteria
(irRC). Primary study objectives were to determine the safety and tolerability of the
combination and to evaluate humoral and cellular immune response. Secondary objectives were
to evaluate tumor response and immunological changes in the tumor microenvironment.
