About this trial
Single arm phase I/II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of bevacizumab, with ipilimumab plus nivolumab, and hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (hSRT) in patients with symptomatic melanoma brain metastases (MBM).
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
1. Histologically (or cytologically) proven metastatic melanoma, with radiologically confirmed brain metastases.
2. Symptomatic from brain metastases at the time of study enrolment, or brain metastases that requires corticosteroids for the management of neurological symptoms.
3. Intracranial lesions amenable to hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy. These are defined as all intracranial melanoma lesions greater or equal to 5 mm in diameter, all intracranial lesions that are causing symptoms, and all intracranial lesions located in the eloquent areas of the brain.
4. World Health Organisation (WHO) performance status of 0 - 2
Disqualifiers
1. Prior radiotherapy to the brain
2. Active concurrent malignancy requiring systemic anti-cancer therapy within the last 2 years. Patients with any malignancy treated with curative intent and no evidence of disease will be eligible for this trial.
3. Prior systemic therapy for melanoma, unless given in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting for extracranial disease only, completed more than >6 months prior to enrolment in this trial and if administered with radiological proof of the absence of brain metastases
4. Inability to undergo MRI of the brain
