Filter by:Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and its incidence has doubled every 20 years in France, where this cancer is responsible of more than 1600 deaths each year. Patients with early diagnosis have good prognosis and can be generally cured by surgery only. Advanced melanoma however has a very bad prognosis. Loco-regional lymph nodes are usually the first distant localization in metastatic melanoma. Lymph node dissection is then the recommended treatment, although it's impact on survival has never been proven. In the same way, the benefit risk profile of interferon as adjuvant treatment after lymph node dissection is still much debated. Recently, new treatments either with immunotherapy (ipilimumab, nivolumab) or by the targeted therapy dabrafenib/trametinib in patients with BRAF mutation have shown an impact on survival in the adjuvant setting after lymph node dissection. But, it has not yet been established if this strategy has a benefit gain compared to starting those treatments only in the metastatic setting after watchful follow-up. Moreover, if these novel therapies (targeted therapies: TT, immunotherapies : IT) demonstrated for the first time a real benefit in terms of survival or of responses rates in melanoma, physicians and patients had to address new problems, such as the management of unusual adverse events. Partial and dissociated responses can also be seen with those new treatments. Some patients will have complete response in some lesions, stabilization in others and progression in a few. It is to be expected that one of the real key points of this therapy is to be found here, as this situation is commonly seen, and it would probably be a poor choice to stop a treatment that is globally effective for progression of only 1 or 2 lesions, in a patient otherwise stabilized. That is the context in which interventional radiology (IR) should be considered as an extremely efficient option. IR is a real medical revolution in the last 2 decades. It provides not only the opportunity to determine the characteristics of residual lesion (fibrosis, necrosis, metastasis, or sarcoidosis,…) by biopsy, but allows also their targeted destruction through different technics (cryotherapy, radiofrequency, laser,…). The investigators are fortunate to have in their institution one of the best IR department of the world (headed by Prof. Afshin GANGI), with a technical platform unique in Europe that allows IR through ultrasound, scan, petscan and MRI. To the best of their knowledge, Immunotherapy associated with IR has not been performed so far. This association could in theory: 1. Combine immunotherapy with tumoral necrosis, which inherently increases the effects of immunotherapy by massive tumoral leakage of danger signals and tumoral antigens; 2. Allow direct injection in targeted zones, where the beneficial effect is desired, and thus increase the expected immune response; 3. Reduce side effects related to immunotherapy, by reducing quantities injected; which seems particularly important in the (neo)-adjuvant setting. That's why the investigators are willing to conduct this pilot project, the objectives of which are: 1. Providing a proof of the feasibility of this association, 2. Obtaining preliminary insights on the effects on non-targeted lesions, 3. Adding a translational research to establish the effect on tumor antigenic expression and the immune response.
The aim of this therapeutic education program is to reduce the apparition of immune-related Adverse Event with patients treated with ICI
This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label basket study designed to evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of IDE196 in patients with solid tumors harboring GNAQ or GNA11 (GNAQ/11) mutations or PRKC fusions, including metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM), cutaneous melanoma, colorectal cancer, and other solid tumors. Phase 1 (dose escalation - monotherapy) will assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of IDE196 via standard dose escalation scheme and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose. Safety and anti-tumor activity will be assessed in the Phase 2 (dose expansion) part of the study. Phase 1 Tablet and Food Effect Pharmacokinetic (PK) Substudy will assess the PK profile of IDE196 tablet and evaluate the effects of food on the PK profile of IDE196 tablet Phase 1 (dose escalation - binimetib combination) will assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of IDE196 and binimetinib via standard dose escalation scheme and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose. Safety and anti-tumor activity will be assessed in the Phase 2 (dose expansion) part of the study. Phase 1 (dose escalation - crizotinib combination) will assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of IDE196 and crizotinib via standard dose escalation scheme and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose. Safety and anti-tumor activity will be assessed in the Phase 2 (dose expansion) part of the study. Evaluation of safety and efficacy across multiple doses may be explored in the dose optimization part of the study. Crizotinib monotherapy with crossover to combination cohort may be assessed for safety and to show the contribution of each study drug to anti-tumor activity.
Rationale: Tremendous anti-tumor effects have been achieved using immune checkpoint inhibitors for melanoma and NSCLC with long lasting responses of more than 2 years in a substantial subgroup of patients. However, we are still largely unaware of the health-related quality of life of these patients. We should carefully and thoroughly assess the long-term burden of disease and treatment toxicity. Objective: Primary Objective: to investigate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients surviving 2 years or more after the first cycle of an immune checkpoint inhibitor for melanoma or NSCLC. Secondary Objectives: to assess neurocognitive function, endocrine function, cardiovascular risk, physical fitness, mood disorders, sexual problems, work participation in patients surviving 2 years or more after the first cycle of immune checkpoint inhibitor; to assess quality of life of the caregivers of these patients. Study design: Observational cross-sectional study. Study population: Patients (age ≥18 years) with melanoma or NSCLC ≥2 years since treatment with at least one cycle of immune checkpoint inhibitor (CTLA-4 inhibitor, PD-(L)1 inhibitor, or both). Main study parameters/endpoints: health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as measured using the EORTC Quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30). Secondary study parameters: possible late effects (neurocognitive dysfunction, endocrine disorders, dermatologic complaints, sexual disorders and infertility, increased cardiovascular risk, and fatigue), physical fitness, psychosocial issues related to work/education, mood disorders (anxiety and depression), patient and treatment-related factors potentially influencing development of late effects, well-being, and quality of life of caregivers.
Adjuvant therapy with dabrafenib plus trametinib in melanoma was approved in 2018 by the EMA (EUropean Medicines Agency). The purpose of this non-interventional study is to assess the usage of adjuvant dabrafenib and trametinib in clinical practice, where the patient population may differ from study population.
This is a randomized, controlled, multicenter Phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of toripalimab injection combined with axitinib in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced mucosal melanoma. The target population is the patients with previously untreated, histopathologically confirmed, unresectable or metastatic mucosal melanoma. At the randomization, patients are randomized 1:1:1 into three groups with approximately 33 subjects in each group to receive toripalimab injection plus axitinib, toripalimab injection monotherapy (subjects who meet the criteria after disease progression may cross over to receive toripalimab plus axitinib), or axitinib monotherapy (subjects who meet the criteria after disease progression may cross over to receive toripalimab plus axitinib); when the patient has disease progression or intolerable toxicity, the treatment is terminated, and the survival follow-up will be initiated.
This pilot trial studies whether a procedure called lymphovenous bypass would prevent lymphedema (arm swelling) in patients with inflammatory breast cancer or non-inflammatory breast cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes or melanoma. The lymphovenous bypass procedure creates a path for lymphatic fluid to flow away from the arms. It is usually done after a diagnosis of lymphedema. In this study, giving lymphovenous bypass before underarm lymph node surgery may help prevent lymphedema from forming.
The purpose of this observational research study is to follow participants who have been treated with either bel-sar or received alternate treatment (sham, standard of care therapy, etc.) while participating in a previous Aura Biosciences clinical research study to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness in these subjects. This study will collect information from procedures conducted as part of routine follow-up eye care and cancer care. Additionally, the registry will collect all adverse events, information about pregnancy and symptomatic overdose.
