Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 131I-TM601 in the treatment of adult patients with progressive and/or recurrent malignant melanoma.
The trial is conducted in Europe. This trial aims for a comparison of the pathology in lymph nodes before and after the effect of recombinant interleukin-21 in patients with stage III melanoma
This is a Phase I study looking at the combination of Valproic Acid (VPA) and Karenitecin to treat patients with metastatic malignant melanoma. We will find the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and the highest dose (maximum tolerated dose) of this combination treatment that has acceptable side effects and recommend a Phase II dose level. There will be seven escalating doses of Valproic acid and one dose escalation step of Karenitecin. Each patient shall receive one cycle of Karenitecin alone (cycle 1 days 1 - 5) followed by the same dose of Karenitecin given in combination with VPA (cycle 2 days 1-7). Patients will receive oral VPA in divided doses for 5 days and Karenitecin starting on the 3rd day every 3 weeks (a treatment cycle). Treatment will continue until progression of disease or an unacceptable level of toxicity. After 2 cycles of treatment there will be the first efficacy evaluation or restaging of the disease. In the absence of disease progression and if there is continued safety and tolerability, treatment may continue.
The purposes of this study are to describe the immune response to individual peptides after immunization with a combination of 8 peptides and CpG 7909 or Montanide ISA51; to determine the safety of the vaccines and; to document the tumor response in patients receiving the vaccines.
The purposes of this study are to determine whether immunization with the MAGE-3.A1 peptide mixed with CpG 7909 results in a detectable immune response; to determine the safety of this vaccine and to document the tumor response to the vaccine.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as FR901228, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well FR901228 works in treating patients with unresectable stage III or stage IV malignant melanoma.
This pilot study will assess the safety and efficacy of Pivanex alone in patients with malignant melanoma who have relapsed after treatment with chemotherapy or Interleukin-2 (IL-2). Pivanex is an investigational agent.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of CP-461 given twice daily orally in patients with advanced or metastatic malignant melanoma and to evaluate the safety profile of CP-461 in this patient population.
