Phase I Trial in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma of Immunization with a Recombinant Fowlpox Virus Encoding the gp100 Melanoma Antigen Clinical Trials References presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or professional assistance by using a real medical. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician about Phase I Trial in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma of Immunization with a Recombinant Fowlpox Virus Encoding the gp100 Melanoma Antigen conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Phase I Trial in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma of Immunization with a Recombinant Fowlpox Virus Encoding the gp100 Melanoma Antigen Clinical research trials and Phase I Trial in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma of Immunization with a Recombinant Fowlpox Virus Encoding the gp100 Melanoma Antigen medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectualness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover treatments for all sorts of conditions, such as Phase I Trial in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma of Immunization with a Recombinant Fowlpox Virus Encoding the gp100 Melanoma Antigen. Phase I Trial in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma of Immunization with a Recombinant Fowlpox Virus Encoding the gp100 Melanoma Antigen Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to access healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for without cost, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Phase I Trial in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma of Immunization with a Recombinant Fowlpox Virus Encoding the gp100 Melanoma Antigen clinical trial. Subjects often receive the most expert healthcare possible for their Phase I Trial in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma of Immunization with a Recombinant Fowlpox Virus Encoding the gp100 Melanoma Antigen condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and could include additional or frequent dr. calls, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Phase I Trial in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma of Immunization with a Recombinant Fowlpox Virus Encoding the gp100 Melanoma Antigen



Phase I Trial in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma of Immunization with a Recombinant Fowlpox Virus Encoding the gp100 Melanoma Antigen

For Condition: Melanoma,Neoplasm Metastasis
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) ,
Synopsis: Vaccination with and without Biological Response Modifier Therapy. Vaccination with recombinant fowlpox virus encoding the gp100 melanoma antigen, FPV-gp100, NSC-673927; with and without Interleukin-2 (Chiron), IL-2, NSC-373364.
Details: Patients with metastatic melanoma who are hepatitis B negative and HIV negative will be immunized with a recombinant fowlpox virus encoding the gp100 melanoma antigen. This study will evaluate the toxicity, immunologic effects and potential therapeutic role of this immunization alone or in conjunction with the administration of interleukin-2.
