Filter by:This study collects blood and tissue samples from patients with cancer and without cancer to evaluate tests for early cancer detection. Collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue from patients with and without cancer to study in the laboratory may help researchers develop tests for the early detection of cancers.
Researchers are trying to find ways to improve the management of people with intermediate or high risk resected cutaneous melanoma or with primary uveal melanoma. This research study is investigating using a new blood test to decide when to give a drug called tebentafusp. Tebentafusp has been used in clinical trials in patients with advanced cutaneous and uveal melanoma. This study is designed to determine if tebentafusp can help patients with cutaneous or uveal melanoma live longer.
Study of NGM438 as Monotherapy and in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
The purpose of this single arm, multi-national clinical trial in patients with metastatic or unresectable melanoma is to evaluate the BOR and compare it to historical data on patients on anti-PD1 treatment with pembrolizumab alone.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab to treat metastatic uveal melanoma.
Among the mechanisms responsible for resistance to immunotherapy, metabolism seems to play a major role. A better understanding of tumor metabolism appears to be absolutely necessary in order to propose efficient therapeutic alternatives to target tumor cells without exerting a deleterious effect on the cells responsible for the anti-tumor immune response. The main objective is to evaluate metabolism modulations in melanoma cells extracted from metastases of patients sensitive and resistant to immunotherapies (anti-PD1 or anti-PD1+anti-CTLA4).
This study will enroll metastatic (Stage IV or inoperable stage III) melanoma (MM) patients carrying a BRAF V600E/K mutation with confirmed primary resistance to standard of care immunotherapy (single agent PD-1 or a combination of CTLA-4/PD-1 blockade). Patients must be naïve to therapy with BRAF+MEK inhibitors, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
Modulating the gut microbiome to improve response to immune-checkpoint inhibitors is an active area of study. Prebiotic substances (compounds which positively shift the gut microbiome) are a reliable and safe method of gut microbiome modulation. Data suggest that the berry Camu Camu (CC), also known as Myrciaria dubia has prebiotic potential to enrich Akkermansia muciniphila, a bacterium shown to alleviate metabolic disorders and improve ICI efficacy in preclinical models. Our primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of CC prebiotic in patients with advanced NSCLC and melanoma in combination with standard-of-care ICI.
The is a phase II, single arm, open-label, multi-site trial studying the combination of cryoablation therapy and dual checkpoint inhibition with nivolumab (anti-PD-1) and ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) given at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
There is evidence from cohort studies and metanalysis that a shift from BRAFWT to BRAF mutated melanomas can occur (Colombino JCO 2012, Valchis EJC 2017). Based on previous studies we expect that 15% of tissue BRAF WT patients treated with anti PD-1 will become circulating free DNA BRAF (CfDNA BRAF) mutation-positive and, at progression, they will be elegible to be treated with dabrafenib/trametinib. We aimed to design a clinical phase II trial in order to evaluate the activity of Dabrafenib and Trametinib in patients with Tissue BRAFWT signature and a molecular shift to circulating free DNA BRAF mutated positive melanomas upon progression to anti PD-1 therapy.
