Filter by: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.
This open-label study will assess the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of RO5185426 administered as 240mg tablets in previously treated patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients will be randomized to receive one of four dose-levels of RO5185426 [RG7204; PLEXXIKON; PLX4032] orally twice daily on days 1 to 15 (morning dose). Starting on day 22, treatment with RO5185426 may be resumed at a dose of 960 mg twice daily and continued until disease progression. Target sample size is <100 patients.
The purpose of this clinical investigation was to determine the safety and effectiveness of the SciBase III device (Test) designed to help distinguish between malignant melanoma and benign lesions, using electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) relative to the histological gold standard (Reference). The purpose of the study is to collect data to support a Pre-market Application(PMA) to obtain Food and Drug Administration(FDA) approval to market the SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer.
This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab + fotemustine in patients with stage IV melanoma, previously untreated with chemo- or immunotherapy for metastatic disease. Patients will receive Avastin (15mg/kg intravenously[IV]) on Day 1 of every 3 week cycle, in combination with fotemustine (100mg/m² IV) on Days 1, 8 and 15, followed by 4 weeks rest, followed by 100mg/m² IV every 3 weeks for 4-6 cycles. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety of LBH589 as well as to find out what side effects it may cause and how effective it is against melanoma. LBH589 is a drug which may slow down the growth of cancer cells or kill cancer cells by blocking certain enzymes, which are proteins normally produced by cells. These enzymes are known to play an important role in the development and reproduction of cancer cells. It is believed that LBH589 works by helping to promote the activity of enzymes which turn on the mechanisms in our cells that suppress cells from becoming cancerous.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of treatment with BMS-936558 (MDX-1106) in combination with Ipilimumab (BMS-734016) when given at the same time or as a sequenced regimen in subjects with unresectable Stage III or Stage IV malignant melanoma (MEL)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether HF10 is safe and effective in the treatment of head and neck cancer or solid tumors with cutaneous and/or superficial lesions.
This randomized, open-label study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of RO5185426 as compared to dacarbazine in previously untreated patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients will be randomized to receive either RO5185426 [RG7204; PLEXXIKON: PLX4032] 960 mg orally twice daily or dacarbazine 1000 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Patients in the dacarbazine arm may cross over to RO5185426 treatment.
This open-label single-arm study will evaluate the effect of RO5185426 [RG7204; PLEXXIKON: PLX4032] on the pharmacokinetics of five CYP450 substrates (caffeine, warfarin + vitamin K, omeprazole, dextromethorphan, midazolam) administered as a drug cocktail to patients with metastatic melanoma. The study will also evaluate efficacy and safety of RO5185426. On day 1, patients will receive the drug cocktail. On days 6 to 19, patients will receive RO5185426 twice daily. On day 20, patients will receive RO5185426 and the drug cocktail and on days 21 to 25, patients will receive RO5185426. Assessments will be made at regular intervals during the dosing periods and at follow-up. Patients may continue on study treatment (RO5185426) until the development of progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. Target sample size <50.
