The goal of the first phase of this clinical research study was to find the highest tolerable dose of decitabine and peginterferon alfa-2b that can be given in combination to patients with melanoma. The first phase was completed but the study did not progress to the second phase. The goals of the second phase of this clinical research are to learn if decitabine and peginterferon alfa-2b combined can help to control melanoma, and to find out which doses are more effective and/or better tolerated.
Ocular melanomas have been treated for a long time by enucleation, with an unfavorable major impact on the patient's quality of life, social life, self-image, how they feel about others and about living with this disability. As a matter of fact, classical radiation therapy by photons is not accurate enough to deliver a sufficiently high dose to eradicate a melanoma without causing irreversible ocular brain complications since these tumors are " relatively radio resistant ". The possibility of delivering high doses due to the precision of protons ("Bragg peak") has allowed to overcome this limitation. The conservative uveal melanoma treatment has become a standard after the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) indicating an equivalent rate of metastases and a non-impaired survival rate with a conservative treatment when compared to immediate enucleation. The quality of life benefits due to a conservative treatment has been demonstrated. Protontherapy dose has been defined in an empirical manner, it is probably excessive even if it applies to radio-resistant tumors. In France, radiotherapy by protons for choroidal melanomas delivers a dose of 60 Gy cobalt equivalent (that is 52 measured Gy, or " Physical dose") in 4 fractions and 4 days. Referential treatment of ocular melanomas (other than conjunctiva) indicates proton-therapy for T1, T2, T3 < 40% of ocular volume, and T4 only if extra scleral extension ≤ 2mm. However, there is an enucleation indication for T3 > 40% of ocular volume and T4. Our purpose is to override this relative contraindication, choroidal melanoma volume ≥ 40% of ocular volume. As a matter of fact, the investigators observe an increasing demand from ophthalmologists and patients for not performing primary enucleation. Also, during the last five years treatment of complications have improved and a less " hard " hypo fractionation (6.5 Gy per fraction) has equivalent local control results as for " hard " fractionation (13 Gy per fraction).
This study was to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of LXS196 as a single agent and in combination with HDM201 in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma.
This study is a retrospective cohort study. A database will be created from the data available of all patients that have participate in the named patient program for pembrolizumab in the Netherlands. This database will be used for analysis of response markers and for an evaluation of adverse events.
The aim of this trial is to identify biomarkers and genetic predisposition for the development of immune checkpoint related colitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of combination treatment of Nivolumab with Ipilimumab followed by Nivolumab monotherapy in patients with previously untreated advanced Melanoma.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab in treating patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and malignant neoplasms that have come back (relapsed), do not respond to treatment (refractory), or have distributed over a large area in the body (disseminated). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The purpose of this study is to test two imaging techniques, one called whole body (WB) diffusion weighted (DWI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (WB-DWI MRI), and another called Fluorine-18 3'-deoxy-3'-fluorothymidine positron emission tomography (PET) (F-18-FLT PET). The goal is to see whether these imaging techniques would allow the study doctors to see changes in the size of a tumor earlier for patients with metastatic melanoma receiving Pembrolizumab (MK-3475).
This phase II trial studies how well capmatinib, ceritinib, regorafenib, or entrectinib work in treating patients with BRAF/NRAS wild-type stage III-IV melanoma. Capmatinib, ceritinib, regorafenib, or entrectinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
