To evaluate the safety and tolerability of intradermal injections of IMM-101 (Heat-killed Mycobacterium obuense) in melanoma cancer patients.
The proposed study is a first-in-man, placebo-controlled, dose escalation trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of three different doses of IMM-101 administered intradermally to melanoma patients. Additionally, the study aims to characterize local responses to this vaccine in order to delineate unexpected / unacceptable local reactions from those indicative of appropriate immunological response in this patient group.

Each patient will receive an intradermal placebo injection of borate buffered saline solution (day -3) to provide an intra patient placebo control. Patients who were willing and able to proceed with the study will receive an intradermal injection of a single dose level of IMM 101 on three subsequent occasions. Doses of IMM 101 were administered over a 4 week period on days 0, 14 and 28. Dose levels to be administered are 0.1 mg, 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Safety and tolerability were measured with respect to: 1. Safety measurements 2. Local tolerability at the site of intradermal injection 3. Incidence of adverse events.
Time frame: 56 days
Administration Site Reactions
Local skin reactions are viewed as a normal and predicted reaction to exposure to a preparation of mycobacterial antigens. All patients experienced administration site reactions and all reactions were examined and characterised. However only those reported as adverse events are presented here.
Time frame: Day -3 to Day 56
