Filter by:This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with stage III melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery or stage IV melanoma. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was designed to estimate the efficacy and characterize the safety of bevacizumab when combined with carboplatin + paclitaxel chemotherapy compared with carboplatin + paclitaxel chemotherapy alone in patients with previously untreated metastatic melanoma.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that MelaFind®, a new instrument that uses machine vision for non-invasive early detection of cutaneous pigmented malignant melanoma, is safe and effective. MelaFind® acquires digital images of the lesion with illumination in different spectral bands, from visible to near infrared, and automatically analyzes these images. Diagnostic accuracy of MelaFind® and that of study dermatologists will be evaluated. The reference standard will be final interpretation of lesions by central dermatohistopathology.
This phase II study is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of APO866 for the treatment of patients with advanced cutaneous melanoma. APO866 has shown to induce growth inhibition in cultures of human melanoma cells as well as in animal models with subcutaneously implanted melanoma tumors. APO866 was considered to be safe and well tolerated in a phase I study that treated 24 patients with advanced cancer. In that study one of the two patients with advanced melanoma had a stable disease for 5 months with size reduction of some lesions. APO866 is administered by intravenous infusion continuously for 96 hours that is repeated every 4 weeks. Patients will receive 3 cycles of treatment and the primary efficacy endpoint will be assessed at Week 16. Patients will be follow-up for 12 months.
This is an open-label, 2-arm study in which patients are randomized to receive either the formulation that is being used in clinical trials or the formulation that will be used when if the drug becomes commercially available. The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of the two formulations.
The purpose of this research study is to find out whether JX-594 (Pexa-Vec) is safe and effective for treating surgically unresectable malignant melanoma.
The present clinical trial is a dose comparison of a multi-component active immunotherapy designed to stimulate an immune reaction to specific tumor associated antigens which are highly expressed on a large number of solid cancers.
The primary objective of this study will be to determine the toxicity and Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of the combination of high dose aldesleukin and sorafenib in previously untreated patients with metastatic or unresectable clear cell renal carcinoma (RCC) and metastatic melanoma.
RATIONALE: An educational program may be effective in increasing monthly skin self-examinations to detect melanoma in healthy participants. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well an educational program works in increasing monthly skin self-examinations to detect melanoma in healthy participants.
This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics of aldesleukin in participants with metastatic renal cell cancer or metastatic melanoma.
