Filter by:This is an open-label, non-comparative, multicenter, expanded access study of RO5185426 in patients who have received prior systemic therapy for metastatic melanoma and who have no other satisfactory treatment options.
Primary objective: Determination of safety and tolerability of GV1001 administration combined with Temozolomide (based on blood samples and adverse events). Feasibility of combining active immunisation with Temozolomide treatment. Determination of immunological response after administration of GV1001 and Temozolomide as measured by presence of DTH skin test reaction and specific T-cell responses. Secondary: Evaluation of objective tumour response The trial is an exploratory study which main objective is to estimate safety and feasibility of combining active immunisation with chemotherapy. However, the trial may also indicate the efficacy of the combination.
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy of Intratumoral (IT) CVA21 in terms of immune-related Progression-Free Survival (irPFS) at 6 months as monitored via immune-related Response Criteria [irRECIST 1.1] (revised Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1).
IMCgp100 is a new biological therapy designed for the treatment of melanoma skin cancer. The drug is designed to target melanoma cells and stimulate immune cells to kill them. This trial is designed to establish the level of drug that can be given to a patient that is tolerable. It also designed to establish the best dosing schedule for the drug and to look for signals that the drug is working as intended.
Malignant Melanoma is a deadly skin cancer that can be cured if diagnosed early. To date atypical pigmented skin lesions are diagnosed by appearance alone and many moles and lesions are excised unnecessarily and on the other hand malignant lesions are missed and diagnosed too late. In this study a protein conjugated to a florescent dye is spread on a suspicious pigmented lesion, the hypothesis is that this protein binds to malignant cells only and thus with a special camera that picks up the dye we can find pigmented lesions with early malignant transformation.
This open-label, non-randomized study will assess the mass balance, metabolism, routes and rates of elimination as well as efficacy and safety of RO5185426 (RG7204; PLEXXIKON; PLX4032) in previously treated or untreated patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients will receive continuous twice daily oral treatment with RO5185426. On Day 15, a 14C-labeled dose will be administered. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression occurs.
This study will assess the preliminary antitumor activity and safety profile of a combination of Avastin and dacarbazine in patients with unresectable/metastatic melanoma not previously treated with chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Patients will receive Avastin 10mg/kg iv every 2 weeks and dacarbazine 800mg/m2 every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression.
The study is an investigation of a novel immunotherapy, SCIB1, for the treatment of melanoma. SCIB1 is a solution of plasmid DNA molecules which will express a modified antibody in human cells. The antibody modifications are designed to stimulate the patient's immune T cells to have a strong and specific reaction against melanoma cells which should then be eliminated. SCIB1 is injected into muscle using a device which simultaneously delivers an electrical impulse to enhance the transfer of SCIB1 into muscle cells. The trial will assess the safety and tolerability of SCIB1, the safety and performance of the injection device and the immunological effects of SCIB1. This is the first study of SCIB1 in humans and the trial has two parts, in the first part the dose will be escalated to determine a safe and tolerable level up to a maximum of 8 mg per dose. In the second part patients will receive the dose determined in the first part. Patients will have stage III or IV melanoma, be HLA type A2 and have a life expectancy of at least three months. All patients will receive 5 injections of SCIB1 over 5.5 months. At the discretion of the investigator, patients may continue to receive SCIB1 at 3-6 month intervals for 5 years. The study will be conducted at major cancer centres in the UK only and is expected to last for seven years. Patients will be followed up for five years after they have completed the trial.
A dose-escalation study designed to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), anti-melanoma activity, antibody blood levels and progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with malignant melanoma receiving IMC-20D7S either every 2 weeks or every 3 weeks.
The investigators have observed that many patients who had received high dose Interleukin-2 (IL2) and failed to respond to it but who then go immediately to temozolomide seemed to enjoy extremely good responses which seem better quality and longer duration than typically observed for temozolomide alone. To date, the investigators have observed 5 sequentially treated patients with metastatic melanoma who had failed high dose IL-2 but who then went on to receive immediate temozolomide. Two of these patients had complete responses and 3 had very strong partial response. In a recent phase II study of extended low dose temozolomide alone given in the same manner as the post IL-2 patients noted above, the response rate was 12.5% and all of these were partial responses only. The responses that the investigators observed were at a much higher rate of response as well as much better quality than expected for temozolomide. The responses were also better than those observed when temozolomide was given first and then followed by high dose IL-2. The investigators concluded that perhaps the major benefit the investigators observed was a result of the prior high dose IL-2 therapy modulated by the temozolomide and that the sequence of treatment was clearly crucial for this response.
