View clinical trials related to Stage IV Melanoma.
Filter by:Clinical trials, specifically focused on stage IV melanoma, are crucial in assessing the safety and efficacy of new treatments for this disease. These trials serve as fundamental instruments in determining whether emerging medications outperform standard therapies, providing compelling evidence to support wider implementation. The main goal is to thoroughly scrutinize trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals among this particular group of patients.
This phase I/II trial tests the safety and side effects of LN-144 (Lifileucel) and pembrolizumab in treating patients with stage IIIB-D or stage IV melanoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Biological therapies, such as LN-144 (Lifileucel), use substances made from living organisms that may attack specific tumor cells and stop them from growing or kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lifileucel and pembrolizumab may make the tumor smaller.
This research study is testing the combination of two drugs, sargramostim and pembrolizumab. The study is designed to see if the combination of these study drugs would improve the control of unresectable or metastatic melanoma cancer when compared to use of these drugs alone. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Pembrolizumab - Sargramostim (GM-CSF)
The purpose of this study is to refine and pilot test educational material developed to educate and support patients receiving immunotherapy for advanced cancer. The intervention is an educational video and question prompt list (QPL) to promote communication between patients, caregivers, and the oncology team about the risks and benefits of immunotherapy.
This research study is studying a combination of two drugs that change the immune system and tumor as a possible treatment for metastatic or unresectable stage III or IV cutaneous melanoma. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Atezolizumab - Bevacizumab
Sequential immune apheresis plasma volume escalation cohort study of reduction of soluble Tumor Necrosis Factors Receptors 1/2 (sTNFR1/2), with or without Nivolumab, in patients with inoperable or metastatic solid Tumors. This study evaluates Immunicom fs LW-02 device used with Spectra Optia apheresis system, aiming to answer two different study questions: - Safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the device. - Safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the device, employed as monotherapy, or combined with Nivolumab.
This phase 2 trial will investigate the efficacy and safety of trametinib and dabrafenib in patients with advanced BRAF V600 (v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B) wild-type melanoma (stratified according to BRAF V600 wild-type/NRAS (neuroblastoma Ras viral oncogene homolog) mutant and BRAF V600 wild-type/NRAS wild-type melanoma patients) that have been pretreated and progressed following treatment with PD-1- (programmed cell death-1) and CTLA-4-blocking (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4) immune checkpoint inhibitors. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with trametinib will result in objective antitumor activity. In order to improve the tolerability and optimize the dose intensity of trametinib, a minimal dose of dabrafenib will be added to prevent and manage trametinib-related skin toxicity.
This is a study of transfusion of TBX-3400 in patients with stage III and IV melanoma resistant or refractory to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors. The patient's own blood cells are exposed to a protein that has been shown in the laboratory to result in anti-tumor activity. The study hypothesis is that TBX-3400 cells will enhance anti-tumor activity and improve the body's immune response.
This is a multicenter, 2-arm open-label, randomized comparative phase II study. The objective of this trial is to prospectively evaluate whether a sequential approach with an induction period of 12 weeks with encorafenib + binimetinib followed by combination immunotherapy with nivolumab + ipilimumab improves progression free survival compared to combination immunotherapy nivolumab + ipilimumab alone in patients with BRAF V600 mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
This is a Phase I/Ib investigator-initiated open label of the combination of VESANOID and pembrolizumab treatment.
