This is an international (Australia, Europe, and USA) open-label two-arm randomized phase 3 trial including 420 stage III (≤3 resectable in-transit metastases allowed) cutaneous or unknown primary melanoma patients. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 2 cycles of neoadjuvant ipilimumab 80 mg + nivolumab 240 mg every 3 weeks followed by a total lymph node dissection (TLND) and, if applicable, resection of in-transit metastases (arm A) versus standard upfront TLND +/- resection of in-transit metastases followed by 12 cycles adjuvant nivolumab 480 mg every 4 weeks (arm B). Patients with a pathologic partial or non-response in arm A will also receive adjuvant nivolumab 480 mg every 4 weeks for 46 weeks (11 cycles). In case of BRAF V600E/K mutation-positivity, patients from arm A with a pathologic partial or non-response (>10% viable tumor) will be treated with adjuvant dabrafenib plus trametinib for 46 weeks. Patients will be treated in the study in both arms until melanoma progression to irresectable stage III or stage IV disease, disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity, subject withdrawal of consent or until end of study treatment. An interim analysis will be performed after 60 events have occurred. The data safety monitory board (DSMB) will be ad hoc consulted when unexpected toxicities are reported. Patients will be followed by 12 weekly CT scans until end of year 3 and then until year 5 according to the institute's standards.
This clinical trial studies the use of 7-Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting melanoma that has spread to the brain (melanoma brain metastases). The standard MRI brain imaging is done on 3T or similar MRI machine, but the 7T MRI machine has a larger magnet which has been shown to have superior resolution of the brain and of non-cancerous brain lesions. Diagnostic procedures such as 7T MRI may help find and diagnose melanoma brain metastases earlier than standard 3T MRI.
This phase II trial investigates the side effects of tocilizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, or urothelial carcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the immune system to decrease immune-related toxicities. Giving tocilizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab may kill more tumor cells.
This study is an open-label, phase 1/1b study of the pressure-enabled hepatic artery infusion of SD-101, a TLR 9 agonist, alone or in combination with intravenous checkpoint blockade in adults with metastatic uveal melanoma.
This research study is studying the drugs called NeoVax (a new type of personalized neoantigen vaccine) in combination with CDX-301 and Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab as a possible treatment for melanoma. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Personalized Neoantigen peptides (which combined with poly-ICLC make the vaccine NeoVax) - Poly-ICLC (Hiltonol) - CDX-301 - Nivolumab (Opdivo) - Pembrolizumab (Keytruda)
Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) can be different in their onset, kinetics and presentation but unlike chemotherapy are seldom predictable. Toxicity can affect nearly any organ system and multiple presentations of rare but severe irAEs have been reported, highlighting the relevance of vigilant monitoring. Although early detection and timely management of high grade or special interest irAEs (such as cardiac and neurological) is obvious, it is unclear whether early identification of less serious events can lead to clinical benefit. Furthermore, it is of the utmost importance to develop new tools which can increase identification of side effects. The current study investigates systematic symptom assessment through an electronic patient reported outcome tool and aims to define whether this can reduce the rate of serious irAEs.
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
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of liquid tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (L-TIL) combined with tislelizumab as the first-line treatment in patients with advanced malignant melanoma. This study plan to include stage III or IV unresectable or metastatic cutaneous or acral malignant melanoma patients, treat with L-TIL 4 cycles with each infusion (3 -10) x10*9/m2 cells, combined with tislelizumab 200mg, iv, Q3W. It is expected that 30 patients will be enrolled in this study.
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.
