Filter by:The objectives of the study are the morpho-phenotypic evaluation of uveal melanoma and to identify molecular prognostic factors that may be correlated with disease severity, tumour progression and response to treatment. These objectives will be achieved through immunohistochemical and genetic analyses.
Background: Immunotherapy has been successful in treating advanced melanoma, but a large proportion of patients do not respond to the treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Preclinical and small cohort studies suggest biomarkers from the primary tumor, stool and body fluids as markers of response. This prospective study will evaluate gastrointestinal microbiome (bacterial spices and virome) composition and exosomal mRNA expression of PD-L1 and IFNγ correlation with radiological response rates to ICIs treatment of advanced melanoma patients. Methods: Patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors as a first line treatment for metastatic melanoma are recruted to the study. Stool samples are submitted before the start of treatment, at the 12 (+/-2) week and 28 (+/-4) week, and at the event ( such as, suspected disease progression/hyperprogressio, immune related adverse event (irAE), etc). Peripheral venous blood samples are taken additionaly at the same time points for cytologic and molecular tests. Histological material from the tumor tissue is obtained before the start of immunotherapy treatment. Primary objectives are to determine whether human gastrointestinal microbiome (bacterial and viral) and exosomal mRNA expression of PD-L1 and IFNγ predict response to treatment with PD-1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors and are associated with occurrence of irAE in patients with metastatic melanoma at different time points. Response is evaluated radiologically with imaging methods in accordance with the irRECIST criteria. Conclussion: Despite the great success of the treatment of metastatic melanoma with immunotherapy, there remains a significant proportion of patients who do not respond to treatment or who develop severe adverse events during treatment. Identification of novel predictive and prognostic biomarkers for immunotherapy treatment response is therefore necessary. This study is the first to combine and investigate multiple potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers and its dynamics. The results could serve for a better and multi-level understanding of the various factors influencing immunotherapy treatment.
The study aim to investigate the relationship between cutaneous adverse events and quality of life in patients taking immune check point inhibitor or cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6 inhibitors by two steps. In the first one, it will be investigated the relationship between the skin toxicity related to the use selected therapies and the quality of life of patients already receiving these therapies for treatment of their cancer. In the second one, it will be evaluated the relationship between skin toxicity and quality of life over three months of treatment in patients initially naïve for selected therapies. Cancer included in the analysis are NSCLC, renal cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
Study CJB-101-01 will be conducted at multiple centers in the USA and Republic of Korea as an open-label safety and preliminary efficacy study of CJRB-101 in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with selected types of advanced or metastatic cancer. The proposed study intends to address the unmet medical needs of low response rate and refractoriness to immune checkpoint inhibitors typically observed in this subject population by performing assessments of response, dose limiting toxicities, pharmacodynamic, and the effect on microbiome biomarkers at different dose levels of CJRB-101 combined with pembrolizumab.
This was a retrospective cohort study using Truven Health Analytics' MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters and Medicare Supplement and Coordination of Benefit administrative claims databases. The analysis was conducted using the most recent 5 years of data from the database, 01 January 2015, to 28 February 2021 (study period). Included patients were followed for outcome evaluation from the index date (first prescription of treatment, immunotherapy [IO] or targeted therapy [TT] following diagnosis of non-metastatic malignant melanoma and evidence of first lymph node resection), until the first occurrence of end of continuous eligibility or end of the study period.
In this study we aim to investigate safety and tolerability of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) adoptive cell therapy (ACT) incorporation in-vivo TIL expansion with ANV419 in patients with advanced melanoma
To evaluate the efficacy of OH2 injection in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma who have failed at least second-line standard therapy, using investigator-selected salvage chemotherapy or best supportive care (BSC) as controls.
Safety study of RC198 in Subjects with Solid Tumors.
Cutaneous melanoma is a bad prognosis skin cancer, which can be treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), such as anti-PD-1 (nivolumab, nivo) and anti-CTLA-4 (ipilimumab, ipi). However, about 50% of patients do not respond or relapse within 3 years post therapy induction, and immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as colitis, are triggered and can be treated with TNF inhibitor (TNFi; ie, infliximab, inflix). The pharmacodynamic impact of TNFi on the immune and clinical responses remain to be clarified. The investigators previously demonstrated that TNFi enhance the efficacy of ICI in mouse melanoma models. Based on preclinical findings, the investigators implemented two clinical trials in advanced melanoma patients, TICIMEL and MELANFalpha. In TICIMEL, patients are concomitantly treated with TNFi [certolizumab (certo) or inflix] and ICI (ipi+nivo). In MELANFalpha, patients are treated with ICI alone. Preliminary results show both tritherapies promote systemic MART-1 specific CD8 T cell responses and that certo but not inflix may improve ICI efficacy and Th1 responses. In mouse melanoma models, TNFi enhance the response to ICI. Investigators' primary objective is to decipher how certolizumab and infliximab influence ICI-dependent anti-tumor immune responses in advanced melanoma patients. The secondary objectives are to analyse the cellular and molecular impact anti-TNF have on ICI-dependent anti-melanoma immune responses and clinical activities (irAEs and efficacy). By combining mouse and human data as well ex vivo functional assays, the investigators will dissect the impact treatments have on anti-melanoma immune responses by flow cytometry and transcriptomic analyses. The investigators expect to clarify (i) the mechanisms by which TNFi enhance ICI efficacy, (ii) identify the best TNFi to be combined with ICI in advanced melanoma patients and (iii) discover TNF-dependent biomarkers of resistance.
