Filter by:This is a Phase 1, multiple dose, ascending dose escalation study to define a MTD/RD and regimen of XmAb20717, to describe safety and tolerability, to assess PK and immunogenicity, and to preliminarily assess anti-tumor activity of XmAb20717 in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to examine how different messages about risk of melanoma can impact the way people protect themselves against developing these diseases.
It is proposed to undertake a study to determine the diagnostic utility of using RCM for the diagnosis of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) in a tertiary referral centre as outlined by the recent NICE report (Nov 2015). This will allow an assessment of the potential to avoid diagnostic biopsy within the treatment pathway.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the use of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) to treat the multiple basal cell carcinoma (BCC) skin cancers in children and adults with Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome (or who have at least 3 BCC tumors present). In addition, the investigators will test a hypothesis (based upon our extensive preclinical studies in mice) that induction of a transient spike in serum Vitamin D levels through administration of dietary Vitamin D (cholecalciferol; D3) can significantly increase PDT efficacy and improve the clearance of cutaneous BCC tumors.
The main objective of this research is to develop a new scanning technology called the Fast Raman device, to accurately check the skin removed by the surgeon and detect any residual cancer cells; if found, additional skin can then be removed by surgeons on the same day. The device will be tested first for patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery, then be extended to wide-local excisions of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). This study will determine the validity (sensitivity/specificity) and reliability (inter- and intra-user variability) of the Fast Raman device for checking the completeness of tumour removal during Mohs micrographic surgery of BCC.
The purpose of this study is to study 50 patients with multiple Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) who will be receiving Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) as treatment for their tumors. This study wants to establish the optimal conditions for treating BCC tumors with PDT. Previous research suggests that taking Vitamin D prior to the start of PDT could help improve the effectiveness of the treatment in eliminating the BCC. Overall, this study will help establish oral Vitamin D3/PDT as a new combination therapy for skin cancer (BCC). Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is an investigational (experimental) technique that works by combining a photosensitizing topical agent and an intense light source to kill tumor cells. PDT is currently approved for the treatment of BCC in Europe, Canada, and Australia. However, it is experimental in the United States because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Evaluation of the mechanism of Action of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) in patients with locally advanced non-melanoma skin cancer.
This Interventional Randomised Controlled study is intended to establish that presurgical margin mapping of BCCs with OCT results in a reduction of the number of MMS surgery stages without adversely impacting clinical outcome, resulting in shorter patient stays and more efficient use of surgical and operating room resources.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the relationship between the microbiota (microscopic organisms) in the gut and the activity of the immune system during skin cancer immunotherapy.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the commonest non melanoma skin cancer in the UK and its incidence is rising. The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Foundation Trust (NNUHFT) see and excise approximately 3,000 new cases of BCC each year. Many of these patients have a biopsy to confirm their diagnosis before being listed for surgical excision. In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) involves using a machine which can examine the upper layers of the skin non invasively. In clinically suspicious lesions, the Investigators will use RCM prior to biopsy with the aim of demonstrating that RCM can accurately diagnose BCC. The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility and utility of using RCM for the diagnosis of BCC in the NHS setting, thereby shortening the patient pathway and effectively using limited public resources. If the Investigators' study shows that RCM can accurately diagnose BCC in these patients then this would prevent the need for biopsy as a routine in these patients.
