You may not be if
Those receiving radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, systemic steroids, or chemotherapy during the previous four weeks (six weeks for nitrosoureas and Mitomycin-C) prior to treatment or during the course of the treatment.
All toxic manifestations of previous treatment must have resolved. Exceptions to this are alopecia or certain Grade 1 toxicities, which an investigator considers should not exclude the patient.
Previous radiotherapy treatment to the resectable metastatic site(s) within 1 year and no other suitable metastatic sites.
Participation in any other clinical trial within the previous 30 days or during the course of this treatment.
Previous allogeneic transplant.
Patient with ocular melanoma.
Clinically significant cardiac disease. Examples would include unstable coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction within 6 months or Class III or IV AHA criteria for heart disease (see Appendix 6)
Patients who are high medical risks because of non-malignant systemic disease, including those with, uncontrolled cardiac or respiratory disease, or other serious medical or psychiatric disorders which in the lead clinicians opinion would not make the patient a good candidate for this therapy.
Concurrent systemic infections (CTCAE Grade 3 or more) within the 28 days prior to treatment.
Prior history of malignancies at other sites, with the exception of adequately treated cone-biopsied in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri and basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
Patients known or found to be serologically positive for Hepatitis B, C, HIV or HTLV.
History of systemic autoimmune disease which could be life-threatening if reactivation occurred (for example hypothyroidism would be permissible, prior rheumatoid arthritis or SLE would not).
Patients with more than 3 brain metastases.
Patients with symptomatic brain metastasis measuring more than 10mm in diameter or evidence of significant surrounding oedema on MRI will not be eligible until after treatment demonstrating no clinical or radiologic CNS progression for at least 2 months. Patient must be able to wean off any steroid use 3 weeks before treatment commencement.
Patients who are likely to require long-term systemic steroids or other immunosuppressive therapy.
