Filter by:The purpose of this study is to make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of a combined APR-246 and dabrafenib therapy regimen in patients with BRAFV600 mutant unresectable and/or metastatic cutaneous melanoma resistant to the dabrafenib/trametinib combination. In addition, the study aims to assess the safety profile of the combined APR-246 and dabrafenib therapy regimen, to explore potential biomarkers, and to further describe the anti-tumour activity of the combination of APR-246 and dabrafenib. The trial will enroll up to 31 evaluable patients.
This is a study of transfusion of TBX-3400 in patients with stage III and IV melanoma resistant or refractory to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors. The patient's own blood cells are exposed to a protein that has been shown in the laboratory to result in anti-tumor activity. The study hypothesis is that TBX-3400 cells will enhance anti-tumor activity and improve the body's immune response.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of propranolol hydrochloride when given together with pembrolizumab and how well they work in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that "takes the brakes off the immune system" and thus allows for anti-tumor immune responses. Propranolol hydrochloride is a beta adrenergic blocking agent that can enhance immune cell responses when under stress. Giving propranolol hydrochloride and pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with melanoma.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and efficacy of Apatinib as the Second-line Therapy in Malignant Melanoma.
An observational, non-interventional registry study to collect real-world data from people living with melanoma and its treatment, which will be available to researchers to further the knowledge of melanoma and improve patient care.
To improve the efficacy of immunotherapy for cancer, recent studies focused on specific targets to redirect the immune network toward eradicating a variety of tumors and ameliorating the self-destructive process. A clinically relevant immune escape mechanism in melanoma is the activation of the Programmed cell Death-1 (PD-1) receptor on infiltrating T cells. By blocking PD-1 receptors with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), T-cells are unaffected by the PD-L1 expressed on tumor cells and the patients T cells are free to respond to melanoma antigens and attack tumor cells. So the objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of a combined therapy Nivolumab and adoptive T cell therapy in metastatic melanoma patients.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the relationship between the microbiota (microscopic organisms) in the gut and the activity of the immune system during skin cancer immunotherapy.
Malignant melanoma (MM) is a deadly cancer, claiming globally about 160000 new cases per year and 48000 deaths at a 1:28 lifetime incidence (2016). The golden standard, dermoscopy, enables Dermatologists to diagnose with a sensitivity of 40%, and a 8-12% specificity, approximately. Additional diagnostic abilities are restricted to devices which are either unproved or experimental. A new technology of Neuronal Network Clinical Decision Support (NNCD) was developed. It uses a dermoscopic imaging device and a camera able to capture an image. The photo is transferred to a Cloud Server and further analyzed by a trained classifier. Classifier training is aimed at a high accuracy diagnosis of Dysplastic Nevi (DN), Spitz Nevi and Malignant Melanoma detection with assistance from a Deep Neuronal Learning network (DLN). Diagnosis output is an excise or do not excise recommendation for pigmented skin lesions. A total of 80 subjects already referred to biopsy pigmented skin lesions will be examined by dermoscopy imaging in a non interventional study. Artificial Intelligence output results, as measured by 2 different dermoscopes, to be compared to ground truth biopsies, by either classifier decisions or a novel Modified Classifier Technology output decisions. Primary endpoints are sensitivity and specificity detection of the NNCD techniques. Secondary endpoints are the positive and negative prediction ratios of NNCD techniques.
This study uses molecular imaging and novel immune monitoring to identify a biomarker of response for melanoma patients receiving immunotherapy with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. Prior to treatment, FDG and FLT PET/CT will be obtained, together with blood and tumor biopsies from each patient. A follow-up FDG and FLT PET/CT will be obtained, together with blood and tumor biopsies, 10-12 weeks after starting treatment with anti-PD-1 antibody. Additional tumor biopsies and blood samples for immune monitoring will be obtained 4-6 weeks after starting treatment with anti-PD-1 antibody as well as 16-18 weeks after starting anti-PD-1 treatment for patients still receiving anti-PD-1 antibody at that time.
This study is a phase I/II, multicenter, open-label study starting with a phase I part followed by a Phase II part. The phase I part of the study aims at evaluating the safety and efficacy (in terms of abscopal effect at week 6) of the treatment combination schema of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and PD-1 plus CTLA-4 inhibitors in patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients will be assigned in one of 3 cohorts depending the metastatic site. 18 patients will be enrolled in each cohort. Once the recommended optimal radiotherapy dose has been declared for the 3 cohorts, patients will be enrolled in the phase II part of the study in order to evaluate the activity (progression-free survival at 6 months) of SBRT given in combination with immune checkpoints inhibitors in patients with metastatic melanoma. 66 patients will be included in the phase II.
