Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of RPTR-168 as a monotherapy in patients with HPV-16 E6/E7 positive tumors (HNSCC, cervical) and melanoma.
This is a prospective data collection study of patients with advanced solid tumors who will receive standard of care immunotherapy (IO) and will be monitored with SIGNATERA™ testing. SIGNATERA™ test will be performed at baseline and during routine care. The test results will be part of assessing tumor response. The correlation between SIGNATERA™ test results and subsequent treatment decisions will be examined to compare actual treatment delivered against treatment decisions potentially impacted by SIGNATERA™ results. Treatment administered, tumor assessment results, time to progression, overall survival, physician questionnaires, and patient-reported outcomes will be collected/recorded.
Patients with a BRAF mutated melanoma are usually treated in France by a first line of immunotherapy followed by a second line that combines a BRAF inhibitor (dabrafenib, vemurafenib, encorafenib) and a MEK inhibitor (trametinib, cobimetinib, binimetinib). The combination dabrafenib/trametinib is initially very efficient but it is unfortunately limited because acquired resistances usually occur after a year of treatment. Patients who become resistant to dabrafenib/trametinib and immunotherapy, unfortunately do not have an approved effective treatment at their disposal. They usually receive a palliative chemotherapy by dacarbazine or fotemustine, and they have a mean overall survival that is less than three months. Activation of autophagy in presence of BRAF and MEK inhibitors is a known mechanism of resistance to BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Hydroxychloroquine is an autophagy inhibitor and it has been suggested in vitro that it could decrease resistance to BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Following the positive results in 2018 of a phase I/II study in the USA that showed the efficacy and the absence of toxicity of the association of Dabrafenib, Trametinib and hydroxychloroquine when used as a first line treatement, we proposed to our patients who had become resistant to the dabrafenib/trametinib combination, to pursue their treatment beyond progression and to receive in addition hydroxychloroquine. This prescription was initiated in patients for whom no further therapeutic options were available, after validation by a multidisciplinary tumor board. All patients were informed that the combination dabrafenib/trametinib/hydroxychloroquine was not approved by a regulatory agency.
Encorafenib in combination with binimetinib have been approved in USA, Europe, Australia, Japan and Switzerland for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAF V600 mutation. The main objective of this study is to find a safe and effective dose of encorafenib in combination with binimetinib for patients who have BRAF-mutant metastatic or unresectable melanoma with hepatic dysfunction (i.e. moderate or severe impairment).
MERLIN_001 is a prospective registry study of a primary melanoma gene-signature to predict sentinel node (SN) status and to determine its prognostic value for more accurate staging of SN-negative melanoma patients.
Background: The worldwide incidence of skin cancer has been rising for 50 years, in particular the incidence of malignant melanoma has increased approx. 2-7% annually and is the most common cancer amongst Danes aged 15-34. Currently there is a significant amount of misdiagnosis of skin cancer and mole cancer, and most excised skin lesions are benign. Previous studies have shown that there is no significant increase in doctors diagnostic accuracy during the first 6 years of clinical work. The resources spend on healthy people could be put to better use, if the Benign-Malignant Ratio could be lowered. This could potentially be done by better educating the doctors during their everyday clinical practice. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the dose/response effect of an AI augmented training and clinical feedback on the diagnostic accuracy of skin cancer and clinical decisions among doctors from specialized skin cancer centers. Research question: How much specialized doctors need to train before their diagnostic accuracy and clinical decisions change?
The subsequent treatment choices for the patients with advanced melanoma, who have failed the immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy of single agent. Evidences showed that PD-1 and PD-L1 signalling pathways are not redundant. Blocking both of them could produce synergistic effect. HX008 and LP002 are humanized monoclonal antibodies targeting PD-1 on T cells and PD-L1 on tumor cells respectively. In this study, participants with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma who have failed previous anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 will be administrated with HX008 plus LP002. The safety and preliminary efficacy will be evaluated.
This early phase I trial tests the use of a radioactive tracer (a drug that is visible during an imaging test) known as 18F-FMAU, for imaging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with brain cancer or cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). A PET/CT scan is an imaging test that uses a small amount of radioactive tracer (given through the vein) to take detailed pictures of areas inside the body where the tracer is taken up. 18F-FMAU may also help find the cancer and how far the disease has spread. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of imaging test used to diagnose brain tumors. 18F-FMAU PET/CT in addition to MRI may make the finding and diagnosing of brain tumor easier.
This study learn how easily patients can use an educational tool that will be created for patients with melanoma and pre-existing autoimmune diseases who receive or will receive immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs. Patients will be asked their opinions about the design, accessibility, and content of the tool. Researchers will use the information collected to improve the educational materials that will help patients make future decisions about their treatment.
HX008 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1 on T cell surface, restores T cell activity, thus enhancing immune response and has potential to treat various types of tumors. In this study, the efficacy and safety of HX008 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma who have failed the standard treatments will be evaluated.
