Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if HF10 in combination with ipilimumab is effective in patients with stages IIIB, IIIC, or IV unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
This is the phase II, single-arm, single-center study assessing the efficacy of weekly docetaxel plus carboplatin in second-line treatment of malignant melanoma (unresectable or metastatic) who has failed dacarbazine or temozolomide contained therapy. The primary end point is overall response rate according to RECIST 1.1 criteria assessed using CT or MRI and secondary end point includes disease control rate, progression free survival, overall survival and safety.
The purpose of this study is to provide treatment with nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab to subjects who are anti-(CTLA)-4 and anti-PD-1 treatment-naive and have unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
This observational study will evaluate the effectiveness of BRAF inhibitors and current therapies in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic melanoma with or without BRAF V600 mutation. Patients will be treated per the locally approved therapeutic options in clinical practice. The observation period for each patient will be up to 24 months.
KIT (receptor tyrosine kinase) mutations occur in 15% of acral and mucosal melanomas. PIANO is a single arm, phase II, open-label, multicentre study to evaluate the efficacy and safety (plus molecular basis of such effects) of the KIT inhibitor PLX3397 (developed by Plexxikon) in advanced KIT mutated acral and mucosal melanoma. In this trial a total of 24 patients (9 in the first stage and 15 in the second stage) will receive treatment over a 24 month recruitment period. Following consent and successful screening, patients will receive PLX3397 capsules 1000mg/day as monotherapy, and will remain on therapy as long as they are deriving clinical benefit. Patients will be seen every 4 weeks during treatment to monitor response and toxicity. Routine blood tests will be carried out at all visits and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics sampling (1 x 8 milliliter(ml) whole blood sample) will be done pre-dose on Day 1 and Day 15, frozen and stored locally and sent to Plexxikon's vendor for central analysis at the end of the study. Imaging will be carried out every 12 weeks to monitor response. The first 9 patients will also receive two [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET scans (baseline and at Day 15). From specific named participating sites, 12 patients will provide additional (optional) consent to take part in translational research. 5 of these patients will have a fresh tumour biopsy taken at baseline, at day 15 and upon disease progression. The same 5 patients plus an additional 7 patients (to give a total of 12 patients) will also donate blood samples at baseline, 2 weeks, 12 weeks and on disease progression for the evaluation of circulating tumour cells and circulating free tumour DNA. All patients will be followed up every 6 months until death or for 12 months after the last patient has discontinued study treatment.
The goal of this study is to understand how ipilimumab is being used, its safety profile, and the manner in which Adverse Reactions are managed in routine clinical practice. Another goal is to identify predictive biomarkers. The study is an observational study and not intended to test any hypothesis, but can be hypothesis generating.
We propose to conduct a phase 2 study to assess whether the addition of acitretin to vemurafenib therapy is able to decrease the rate of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) development, a known side effect of vemurafenib therapy, in patients with advanced melanoma. Further, we seek a preliminary assessment as to whether the addition of acitretin to vemurafenib enhances the clinical efficacy of this anti-melanoma agent.
This multi-center, prospective, observational safety study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) in a real world setting. Data from Zelboraf-treated patients with BRAF-V600 mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma will be collected for 2 years.
The purpose of this study is to find the safe dose of nab-paclitaxel in children with solid tumors, and to see if it works to treat these solid tumors in children and young adults (in Phase 1 ≤ 18 years old and in Phase 2 ≤ 24 years old). After the final dose has been chosen, patients will be enrolled according to the specific solid tumor type, (neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, or Ewing's sarcoma), to see how nab-paclitaxel works in treating these tumors.
This open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of vemurafenib in Chinese participants with BRAF V600 mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Participants will receive vemurafenib 960 milligrams (mg) orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
