Filter by:This is a Phase I/Ib investigator-initiated open label of the combination of VESANOID and pembrolizumab treatment.
This study will collect real-world data from advanced melanoma diagnosis through most recent visit and data sourced from patient medical records following a 2-part study design consisting of a random sample (Part 1) and an oversample (Part 2).
An observational single center study designed to identify response-related biomarkers of anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) therapy to advanced melanoma patients and to investigate if vitamin D levels are related to treatment response. 40 patients diagnosed with advanced melanoma will be included. Patients are included at the Department of Oncology, Aarhus University Hospital (AUH). All patients will be treated with Pembrolizumab as a standard procedure at the Department of Oncology. The protocol comprises blood samples at baseline, 3 and 6 weeks after treatment initiation with anti-PD1 therapy and three years of observational follow-up. A total amount of 217 ml blood will be drawn during the study period. The study period is 6 weeks followed by 3 years of follow-up. Medical history, symptoms, response to treatment regarding the RESIST criteria and side affects will be recorded at each visit in both the study period and in follow-up. Biochemical markers will be obtained according to normal procedure during study and follow-up visits. 20 Healthy volunteers (HV) are included, matched by age and gender. Collected blood samples (serum, plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells) will be analyzed after the last patient has ended the week 6 visit.
Many patients have cancers that have increased activity of a protein called STAT3 that contributes critically to the development and growth of their cancer. Despite our knowledge of STAT3's importance to cancer, scientists and doctors have not developed a drug that targets it and that patients can take to treat their cancer more effectively than treatments that are now available. Tvardi Therapeutics, Incorporated has developed a compound, TTI-101, which can be given by mouth and acts as a direct inhibitor of STAT3. Administration of TTI-101 to mice demonstrated that it blocked growth of cancers of the breast, head and neck, lung, and liver and it was safe when administered at high doses to mice, rats, and dogs. In this application, Tvardi is proposing to further develop TTI-101 for treatment of solid tumors for which the prognosis is dismal. The investigators will determine how safe it is when administered to patients with cancer, determine whether an adequate dose can be administered to patients with cancer that will block STAT3 in their cancer, and determine whether treatment with TTI-101 leads to reduced growth of their cancer.
Open-label, single-arm, multi-center, Phase IIa study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunological response of OBP 301 in patients with unresectable/unresected metastatic melanoma. This proof of concept study will be undertaken in male and female patients with unresectable Stage III and IV melanoma. Patients with unresectable/unresected mucosal melanoma may be enrolled after consultation with the Medical Monitor.
This study investigates the safety/toxicity and potential anti-tumor activity of sequential administration of nivolumab and escalating doses of the mTOR inhibitor ABI-009 in advanced Ewing's sarcoma, PEComa, epithelioid sarcoma, desmoid tumor, chordoma, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, urethelial carcinoma, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, hepatocellular carcinoma, classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer, and tumors with genetic mutations sensitive to mTOR inhibitors
This study will evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of cobimetinib and atezolizumab in participants with advanced BRAF V600-wild type (WT), metastatic, or unresectable locally advanced melanoma who have progressed on prior anti-PD-1 therapy. In addition, this study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab monotherapy in participants with BRAFV600-WT metastatic or unresectable locally advanced melanoma, who have not been previously treated.
This is a phase II randomized, control, multi-center study of recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 mAb for injection compared to high-Dose interferon in patients with mucosal melanoma that has been removed by surgery.
The proposed study builds upon the success of our research program (STU00017005: Interventions to teach melanoma patients skin self-examination and the continuation STU0201983) designed to increase early detection of melanomas before they metastasize. This study seeks to expand the use of our efficacious skin self-examination (SSE) training program to first-degree relatives with automated support with reminders and the dermatologist coaching about pictures of moles submitted by user. In 2015 there are more than 1 million living melanoma patients in the United States (US), and almost 500,000 were age 40-60 years. If each melanoma patient has 2.79 first-degree relatives (children, and siblings of melanoma patients), then there are 2.79 million first-degree relatives and 1 million melanoma patients or 3.79 million people at-risk to develop melanoma, who are predominantly non-Hispanic White. A first-degree relative (FDR) is the parent, sibling or child of a melanoma patient. In 2015, approximately 73,870 individuals in the US will be diagnosed with invasive melanoma and about 9,940 will die from the disease. People with a history of melanoma have 10 times greater risk of developing a second new melanoma relative to the general population. A first-degree relative of a melanoma patient (parent, child, sibling) has an 8 times greater chance of developing melanoma. Early detection with surgical excision at an early stage when treatment is usually more effective is the only proven curative strategy. Thus, enhanced surveillance for melanoma patients and screening for their first-degree relatives, who have the same skin type (skin that easily sunburns) and melanoma-risk habits (sunny vacations) as the melanoma survivor, has the potential to detect melanomas in the early stages where treatment prognosis is optimal. Indeed, several societies recommend routine screening by a physician for persons with a family history of melanoma.
This is a pilot study designed to evaluate the cutaneous effect of systemic inhibition of the tyrosine kinase pathway in the presence or absence of solar simulated light exposure. A maximum of 45 subjects will be accrued into the overall study we anticipate approximately 25 patients in the Raf inhibitor group and 10 patients each into the Tyrosine Kinase and MEK inhibitor arms of the study.
