Filter by:The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate digitally supported skin self-examination compared to usual care in people treated for localised melanoma.
This pilot early phase I trial studies how well encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab work in treating patients with BRAF mutant stage IIIC-IV melanoma. Encorafenib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with nivolumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab may kill more tumor cells.
The goal of the SFI is to provide non-invasive information about tissue remodeling occurring during melanocytic transition and atypia development in the skin
This project will pilot test whether a wearable device that tracks sun exposure and provides alerts regarding sun exposure and protection behaviors will reduce sunburns in melanoma survivors. The use of wearable technology devices has grown quickly over the last decade and studies using these devices to promote physical activity and weight loss have been promising. The investigators will pilot test the technology device versus a similar control device in 80 melanoma survivors and compare sunburns between the two groups after the three month intervention.
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.
A reflectance confocal microscope is a machine which is able to examine the upper layers of the skin painlessly and without the need for taking a biopsy. We would like to examine the images taken by the confocal microscope to see if it can help more accurately identify lesions which are worrying rather than a benign mole. We are performing this study in patients in whom we have recommended excising a mole to exclude a cancer. If the results of the study show that the confocal microscope can help more accurately diagnose Melanomas then this would reduce the number of biopsies that are taken that turn out not to be cancerous (ie unnecessary biopsies).
BRAF V600-mutant metastatic melanoma are commonly treated using a combination of anti-BRAF and anti-MEK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The OPTIMEL trial aims to study the interest of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of TKIs and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in plasma of patients with metastatic melanoma for disease monitoring. 35 patients with metastatic melanoma and treated with dabrafenib and trametinib will be enrolled in this trial. Blood samples will be collected for the determination of TKIs concentration and ctDNA detection.
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works in treating patients with stage IIB-IIC melanoma that can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
With a high incidence, low survival rates and limiter availability of effective treatment, melanoma is one of the research priorities for health authorities. Optimizing the development of both academic and private research requires the availability information on the features of patients. To meet this need, the French Multidisciplinary Melanoma Group (GMFMel) in collaboration with INCa (French National Cancer Institute), the CeNGEPS (National Centre for Healthcare Products Trial Management) and the CIC-BT0503 from Nantes University Hospital (Biotherapy Clinical Centre of Investigation) has set up in April 2011 a Clinical Investigation Network for melanoma, called the CeNGEPS-GMFMel network. Nowadays, the network is named : RIC-Mel : network for Research and Clinical Investigation on Melanoma. Aims of the network are to promote translational and epidemiological projects as well as to optimize the achievements of clinical trials. To achieve these goals, a database was launched in 2012 that gives a permanently updates mapping of melanoma treated in France with the key information needed for any research projects.
This is an expanded access program (EAP) for patient with Melanoma and Glioblastoma who have progressed after prior Protocol therapy including Bevacizumab, Temozolomide ( TMZ ), Ipilimumab, BRAF and MEK inhibitors. The patients whose tumors are EGFR, MET or ALK positive should first receive an EFGR or ALK inhibitor, respectively, prior to treatment with pembrolizumab.
