Filter by:A Phase 2 study to investigate the efficacy and safety of lerapolturev alone or in combination with a programmed death receptor-1 (anti-PD-1) inhibitor.
This study investigated the visual and anatomical outcomes, tumor control, tumor recurrence, distant metastasis and cancer free survival in patients affected by uveal melanoma and undergoing Ru-106 plaque brachytherapy between February 2011 and March 2020
Aim of the study is to investigate the effect of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) and Checkpoint Inhibitor (CI) re-challenge in prior CI refractory patients on Progression free survival (PFS) and tumor using donor stool of former malignant melanoma patients, who have been in remission due to CI treatment for at least 1 year.
The primary objective of the study aims to compare the immune profiles (circulating cytokines and lymphocytes) before and after (6 to 8 weeks) the first infusion of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with melanoma treated in the adjuvant setting(cohort A) or in metastatic setting(cohort B); and to study the association of these immune profiles with relapse- or progression-free survival.
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. Our aim is to improve general practitioners' diagnostic skills and accuracy of skin and mole cancer. Research questions: In a population of Danish General Practitioners (GPs) what is the dose/response effect of hours spent with an educational platform that offers AI augmented training and clinical feedback on their diagnostic accuracy and accurate clinical management (treatment, dismissal, referral)? Does access to an educational platform that offers AI augmented training and clinical feedback increase the number of malignant skin lesions referred by Danish GPs without simultaneously increasing the number of incorrect benign referrals? Can the participating GPs clinical accuracy be predicted from the MCQ-score by comparing their quiz answers and diagnostic accuracy on their registered lesions with their score on the MCQ? Method: 90 Danish GPs will at baseline, 1 month and end of trial answer a Multiple Choice Questionnaire (MCQ). There is no change to current clinical practice, but all participating doctors will be asked to register a clinical picture and a dermoscopic image as well as basic information about the lesion and patient (age, gender, location and diagnosis) of all skin lesions examined due to a suspicion for non-melanoma or melanoma skin cancer, raised by the GP or patient. GPs in the intervention group are besides the registration application (R-app) given access to an AI augmented training and clinical feedback through an educational smartphone app (E-app). Within the E-app the doctor can access quizzes on a library of 10,000+ skin lesions, written articles about the 40 most common skin lesions, and a clinical feedback module that gives the GP feedback on their registered skin lesions. Feedback on skin lesions with the registered clinical management of referred/excised/biopsied will be provided continuously by independent experts in skin cancer diagnostics (>10 years of experience) through a web-based review system developed by our group. Feedback on the remaining registered cases are withheld until the end of the study period. This is done to simulate a realistic clinical setting during the study.
Nivolumab (and other agents affecting the anti-programmed death-1 [anti-PD-1] pathway) have demonstrated anti-tumor activity in multiple tumor types including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma (MEL), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and other cancers. However, there remains a large proportion of participants who do not achieve durable clinical benefit to nivolumab monotherapy. Combinations of immune-oncology (IO) agents with complimentary mechanisms as well as radiation represent a promising strategy to improve response rates to immunotherapy. In this phase I study, radiation will be used in combination with IO agents nivolumab and anti-IL-8 (BMS-986253) to assess toxicity by organ system. The study will determine the safe doses of radiation by organ site in conjunction with nivolumab and BMS-986253. The study will also provide the opportunity to evaluate changes in the tumor microenvironment induced by the treatment.
This pilot study will examine facilitators and barriers that impact staff uptake for implementation of practice change involving ipsilateral IV insertion in patients with axillary lymphadenectomy/dissection in a single radiology center.
This is a phase 2, single arm, open label, adaptive design study to determine the preliminary anti-tumor activity and confirm the safety of IT BO-112 in combination with intravenous (IV) pembrolizumab. The study will enroll patients with advanced and/or metastatic melanoma that have progressed on anti-PD-1-containing treatment.
This study collects and stores blood and tumor samples from patients with malignant melanoma and healthy individuals. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the causes of melanoma and how melanoma tumors behave. Storing blood and tumor samples for future research may lead to new discoveries that may ultimately help with diagnosing or treating this disease.
The objective of this expanded access program is to provide ulixertinib (BVD-523) for compassionate use in advanced cancer patients with MAPK pathway-altered solid tumor(s), including but not limited to KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, MEK, and ERK mutations who have incomplete response to or have exhausted available therapies. Ulixertinib is available for treatment as monotherapy or in combination with other clinically tolerable agent(s), conditionally approved by the drug manufacturer.
