Open prospective clinical trial to develop the computer software (Intelligent prognostic system) for predicting the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy of melanoma patients in routine practice
Skin diseases can have various origins. However, a number of them are linked to an imbalance in the immune system which will lead to either an excessively strong autoimmune response or a complete lack of response against cancer cells. Indeed, both melanoma and vitiligo are pathologies where the immune system plays an important role in the progression of the disease. Advanced stage melanoma (metastatic lymph node and / or visceral) have a poor prognosis. Although targeted therapies and immunotherapies have improved the outcome for patient however significant proportion of these patients (~ 50%) developed resistance to therapies. Vitiligo is a relatively common dermatosis affecting approximately 0.5% to 1% of the French population. Vitiligo results from the destruction of the melanocytes by the immune system. It is manifested by acquired depigmented macules, well limited and asymptomatic. Patients suffering from this condition have a marked decrease in their quality of life. There has been shown a strong link between vitiligo and melanoma. Indeed, patients with melanoma who develop vitiligo (~ 9% of patients treated with anti-PD-1 drugs) have a better prognosis compared to patients who do not develop vitiligo. Interestingly, in melanoma cases where the immune system is inactive, the investigators have identified a new molecule secreted by melanoma cells, ITGBL1, leading to the exclusion of immune cells, decreased cytokines secretion and decreased immune cell activation. It is therefore essential to better understand the regulatory mechanism of the immune system in patients with vitiligo or in patients with melanoma treated by immunotherapy in order to be able to propose new therapeutic solutions for these patients. No study to date has investigated the expression of ITGBL1 and serum inflammatory markers during the development of melanoma. Likewise in vitiligo, if a loss of ITGBL1 is observed, new treatments could be developed in order to limit the progression of the disease by re-expressing this protein. Thus, the investigators exploratory study will provide the first answers to the predictive value of these markers for these pathologies in order to adapt and develop new treatments.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of KIN-2787 in adults with BRAF/NRAS-mutated advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
The REFINE trial aims to asses whether giving an immunotherapy drug less-often to patients with advanced cancer, results in fewer side effects whilst continuing to be an effective treatment. The question will be assessed in different tumour types by means of different cohorts within an overarching trial protocol.
1. Background The purpose of this study is to describe the profile of patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma treated with BRAF/MEK inhibitors combination and using the Tavie Skin application. TavieSkin app, a digital solution developped by Pierre Fabre, is dedicated to all BRAF-mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma patients who are treated with "any" targeted therapies. 2. Study objectives The primary objective of the survey is to describe the demographics and clinical characteristics of patients with unresectable or metastatic BRAF-mutated melanoma treated with targeted therapy (BRAFi/MEKi) and using the TavieSkin application The secondary objectives include: - To assess the use of TavieSkin app in patients with unresectable or metastatic BRAF-mutated melanoma treated with BRAFi/MEKi combination; - To assess the treatment adherence of patients using TavieSkin app including treatment interruption or permanent discontinuation; - To assess the health-related quality of life of patients using TavieSkin app (FACT-M); - To assess work productivity and activity impairment over the treatment duration - To assess the patient satisfaction toward the TavieSkin application; - To assess the patient satisfaction toward the treatment. 3. Research methods 3.1 Study design This prospective, longitudinal, survey will be conducted in Europe to characterize BRAF-mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma patients using TavieSkin app designed for accompanying patients treated with targeted therapies. To date, there are three combinations of BRAFi/MEKi available in routine practice for the treatment of BRAF-mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The survey does not provide or recommend any treatment or procedure; all decisions regarding treatment are made at the sole discretion of the treating physicians in accordance with their usual practices. The patients initiating any BRAFi/MEKi combination will be invited to use the TavieSkin app by their healthcare provider (HCP) (i.e. oncologist, dermatologist, nurse…). Once the patient has installed and started to use the application, an e-survey will be proposed to the patient via the app. A detailed information letter about the data collection, data privacy and analysis will be displayed to the patient via the app along with an e-consent for data collection. The patient will be able then to provide an e-signature, if he/she accepts to take part of this survey. The survey will collect anonymized data about health status, QoL data and satisfaction. These data will be collected by the patient only. The physician will not be involved in this e-survey (including e-consent), nor in data collection. Only patients having given consent (e-consent) to data collection and analysis will be included. Data will be collected at baseline and at different subsequent timepoints during the BRAFi/MEKi treatment duration only. Only data reported by the patients in the application will be collected and analyzed. The patient will discontinue the study in case of definitive withdrawal of BRAFi/MEKi treatment, or if he/she decides to withdraw the study and to stop data collection. The target countries for patient enrollment will include Germany, Belgium, Portugal, France, Spain, Italy and Sweden with the additional possibility of including patients from other EU countries. At least, 400 adult patients (≥18 years) will be enrolled. 3.2 Population (see section: Eligibility) 3.3 Study outcomes (see section: Outcome measures) 3.4 Statistical considerations Statistical analyses will be fully described in a written statistical analysis plan (SAP). The study endpoints will be analysed overall and by country. Analyses will be descriptive in nature, as no hypothesis will be tested. The treatment patterns of patients, baseline demographics and clinical characteristics, and reasons for treatment discontinuation will be described using summary statistics. Categorical variables will be summarized by frequencies and percentages. Continuous variables will be summarized by descriptive statistics (mean, and standard deviation, median, 25th and 75th percentiles, minimum and maximum). The number of missing observations for each variable will also be reported. Change in health-related quality-of-life scores (i.e. (FACT-M) will be summarised at baseline and at each timepoints. The change from baseline will be assessed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). Time to event data (i.e. time to treatment discontinuation, time QoL deterioration) will be evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Median survival estimates will be reported along with the 25th and 75th percentiles and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Cox regression analysis may be performed to adjust for predefined (baseline) covariates. If the sample size is adequate, subgroup analyses using variables at baseline might be conducted.
With the introduction of checkpoint inhibitors substantial improvements have been made in the treatment of malignant melanoma (MM). Despite this still a a subset of patients, approximately 50 %, experience no response to therapy. One of the strategies to overcome these obstacles have been ACT with tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Most TIL based ACT products are non-specifically expanded providing growth preference to co-infiltrated virus specific T cells, and it is currently challenging to expand T cells in an antigen-specific manner, while at the same time obtaining the ideal functional characteristics for specific and strong tumour-killing capacity with sufficient persistence. In this phase I trial artificial antigen-presenting scaffolds for antigen-driven T cell expansion are used. These scaffolds will generate a MASE-T cell product enriched for selected specificities towards antigens known to be expressed by melanoma cells The aim of the study is to demonstrate that treatment with af MASE-T cell product i safe and feasible. Further the study will elucidate whether treament with the MASE-T cell product leads to objective responses and improves progression free survival (PFS).
This is a phase 1 dose-escalation study of nilotinib in combination with fixed-dose dabrafenib and trametinib regimen for patients with metastatic or unresectable melanoma carrying a BRAF V600 mutation and have relapsed on a BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy. The goal is to assess the toxicity and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of nilotinib with dabrafenib and trametinib. Additionally, this study will assess pharmacokinetic parameters of dabrafenib and nilotinib when used in combination.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of plinabulin in combination with radiation therapy and immunotherapy in patients with select cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) after progression on PD-1 or PD-L1 targeted antibodies. Plinabulin blocks tumor growth by targeting both new and existing blood vessels going to the tumor as well as killing tumor cells. Immunotherapy may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving plinabulin in combination with radiation therapy and immunotherapy may work better in treating advanced cancers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AGuIX (Activation and Guidance of Irradiation by X-ray) gadolinium-based nanoparticles make radiation work more effectively in the treatment of patients with brain metastases that are more difficult to control with stereotactic radiation alone.
