Filter by: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 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)
1. Background The purpose of this study is to describe the profile of patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma treated with BRAF/MEK inhibitors combination and using the Tavie Skin application. TavieSkin app, a digital solution developped by Pierre Fabre, is dedicated to all BRAF-mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma patients who are treated with "any" targeted therapies. 2. Study objectives The primary objective of the survey is to describe the demographics and clinical characteristics of patients with unresectable or metastatic BRAF-mutated melanoma treated with targeted therapy (BRAFi/MEKi) and using the TavieSkin application The secondary objectives include: - To assess the use of TavieSkin app in patients with unresectable or metastatic BRAF-mutated melanoma treated with BRAFi/MEKi combination; - To assess the treatment adherence of patients using TavieSkin app including treatment interruption or permanent discontinuation; - To assess the health-related quality of life of patients using TavieSkin app (FACT-M); - To assess work productivity and activity impairment over the treatment duration - To assess the patient satisfaction toward the TavieSkin application; - To assess the patient satisfaction toward the treatment. 3. Research methods 3.1 Study design This prospective, longitudinal, survey will be conducted in Europe to characterize BRAF-mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma patients using TavieSkin app designed for accompanying patients treated with targeted therapies. To date, there are three combinations of BRAFi/MEKi available in routine practice for the treatment of BRAF-mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The survey does not provide or recommend any treatment or procedure; all decisions regarding treatment are made at the sole discretion of the treating physicians in accordance with their usual practices. The patients initiating any BRAFi/MEKi combination will be invited to use the TavieSkin app by their healthcare provider (HCP) (i.e. oncologist, dermatologist, nurse…). Once the patient has installed and started to use the application, an e-survey will be proposed to the patient via the app. A detailed information letter about the data collection, data privacy and analysis will be displayed to the patient via the app along with an e-consent for data collection. The patient will be able then to provide an e-signature, if he/she accepts to take part of this survey. The survey will collect anonymized data about health status, QoL data and satisfaction. These data will be collected by the patient only. The physician will not be involved in this e-survey (including e-consent), nor in data collection. Only patients having given consent (e-consent) to data collection and analysis will be included. Data will be collected at baseline and at different subsequent timepoints during the BRAFi/MEKi treatment duration only. Only data reported by the patients in the application will be collected and analyzed. The patient will discontinue the study in case of definitive withdrawal of BRAFi/MEKi treatment, or if he/she decides to withdraw the study and to stop data collection. The target countries for patient enrollment will include Germany, Belgium, Portugal, France, Spain, Italy and Sweden with the additional possibility of including patients from other EU countries. At least, 400 adult patients (≥18 years) will be enrolled. 3.2 Population (see section: Eligibility) 3.3 Study outcomes (see section: Outcome measures) 3.4 Statistical considerations Statistical analyses will be fully described in a written statistical analysis plan (SAP). The study endpoints will be analysed overall and by country. Analyses will be descriptive in nature, as no hypothesis will be tested. The treatment patterns of patients, baseline demographics and clinical characteristics, and reasons for treatment discontinuation will be described using summary statistics. Categorical variables will be summarized by frequencies and percentages. Continuous variables will be summarized by descriptive statistics (mean, and standard deviation, median, 25th and 75th percentiles, minimum and maximum). The number of missing observations for each variable will also be reported. Change in health-related quality-of-life scores (i.e. (FACT-M) will be summarised at baseline and at each timepoints. The change from baseline will be assessed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). Time to event data (i.e. time to treatment discontinuation, time QoL deterioration) will be evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Median survival estimates will be reported along with the 25th and 75th percentiles and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Cox regression analysis may be performed to adjust for predefined (baseline) covariates. If the sample size is adequate, subgroup analyses using variables at baseline might be conducted.
This is a phase 1 dose-escalation study of nilotinib in combination with fixed-dose dabrafenib and trametinib regimen for patients with metastatic or unresectable melanoma carrying a BRAF V600 mutation and have relapsed on a BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy. The goal is to assess the toxicity and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of nilotinib with dabrafenib and trametinib. Additionally, this study will assess pharmacokinetic parameters of dabrafenib and nilotinib when used in combination.
To evaluate tumor response, survival and adverse effects after precision radiotherapy (SBRT) in melanoma patients with ongoing PD-1 inhibitor treatment that have tumor progression.
This phase II trial studies the effect of avapritinib in treating malignant solid tumors that have a genetic change (mutation) in CKIT or PDGFRA and have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic). Avapritinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Avapritinib may help to control the growth of malignant solid tumors.
This phase I trial investigates the effects of influenza vaccine in treating patients with stage I-IV melanoma. While intramuscular administration of influenza vaccine provides immunization against the influenza virus, giving influenza vaccine directly into the tumor (intralesional) may decrease the size of the injected melanoma tumor, or the extent of the melanoma within the body.
This trial compares cryoablation combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy to stereotactic body radiation therapy alone to see how well they work in treating patients with pain from cancer that has spread to the bones (bone metastases). Bone is a common site of metastasis in advanced cancer, and bone metastases often result in debilitating cancer-related pain. The current standard of care to treat painful bone metastases is radiation therapy alone. However, many patients do not get adequate pain relief from radiation therapy alone. Another type of therapy that may be used to provide pain relief from bone metastases is cryoablation. Cryoablation is a procedure in which special needles are inserted into the tumor site. These needles grow ice balls at their tips to freeze and kill cancer cells. The goal of this trial is to compare how well cryoablation in combination with radiation therapy works to radiation therapy alone when given to cancer patients to provide pain relief from bone metastases.
This phase II trial investigates the possible immune effects of two different diets targeting the gut microbiome in patients with stage III-IV melanoma that has been removed by surgery (resectable), has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), or is unable to be removed by surgery (unresectable), and who are being treated with the immunotherapy drugs pembrolizumab or nivolumab as part of their standard of care. Both diets are whole foods diets that meet the American Cancer Society recommendations for cancer patients, but they will vary in fiber content. The purpose of this trial is to learn about the effects of dietary interventions on the structure and function of the gut microbiome in patients with melanoma being treated with standard of care immunotherapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab).
This open-label phase II trial studies how well olaparib in combination with pembrolizumab works in treating patients with advanced, metastatic melanoma with the homologous recombination (HR) pathway gene mutation / alteration. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth, and potentially augment an anti-tumor immune response to pembrolizumab. The trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of olaparib in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with HR mutation/ alteration whose disease progressed on prior immunotherapy and/or BRAF-targeting therapy
