Impact of a Prebiotic Food-enriched Diet (PreFED) in Combination With Ipilimumab/Nivolumab Combination Immune Checkpoint Blockade (ICB) in ICB-refractory Melanoma Patients

Study Purpose

To learn about the possible effects of a prebiotic food-enriched diet (PreFED) targeting the gut microbiome in participants with ICI-refractory melanoma who are receiving the combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab as part of their standard care.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06250335
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Primary Objectives Determining the overall response rate (ORR) to PreFED intervention + Ipi/Nivo in ICB-refractory metastatic melanoma participants. Secondary Objectives. 1. Determine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) to PreFED + Ipi/Nivo in ICB refractory melanoma. 2. Compliance and adherence to interventions. 3. Determine the safety (AEs) and tolerability (GSRS-IBS) of the dietary intervention. 4. Assess the rate of immune related adverse events in participants on immunotherapy receiving dietary interventions. 5. Assess the effects of dietary intervention on systemic and tumor immunity. 6. Assess the effect of dietary intervention on gut microbiome composition and networks. 7. Assess the effects of dietary intervention on gut metabolic output and systemic metabolism. 8. Assess the effects of dietary interventions on quality of life and other participant reported outcomes (PROs)
