Filter by:A phase Ib dose-escalation study of the AEB071 and MEK162 combination in adult patients with confirmed metastatic uveal melanoma. Cohorts of 3-6 patients will be assessed for dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) during Cycle 1 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination therapy is determined. The MTD or Phase 2 Recommended Dose (P2RD) will be used in a Phase II part of the study, which will enrol 55 patients each into two randomized groups: the combination therapy or MEK162 alone. The Phase II part will continue until proof of concept is established. Patients will continue treatment as long as clinical benefit is seen and no limiting adverse toxicity is observed
This study is for subjects with a type of skin cancer called melanoma. The main purpose of this study is to examine the safety of the study drug (Poly-ICLC) in patients with your disease. The study team would like to know about any side effects a patient may have when given the study drug. Another goal of the study is to determine if combining dendritic cells and the study drug can be possibly used as a vaccine for your disease.
This pilot phase 1-2 trial studies the side effects and best of dose ipilimumab when given together with local radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colon, or rectal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill cancer cells. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy together with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colon, or rectal cancer. - The phase 1 component ("safety") of this study is ipilimumab 25 mg monotherapy. - The phase 2 component ("treatment-escalation") of this study is ipilimumab 25 mg plus radiation combination therapy.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with stage III-IV melanoma that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Vaccines made from peptides or antigens may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to see whether the combination of low-dose Cyclophosphamide and Anti-CTLA4 (Ipilimumab) will stop tumor growth in patients with advanced skin cancer. The investigators expect to see an increase in response rate of the combination over Anti-CTLA-4 alone and estimate a response rate of approximately 20 % in the proposed population.
This pilot clinical trial studies radioembolization and ipilimumab in treating patients with uveal melanoma with liver metastases. Radioembolization kills tumor cells by blocking the blood flow to the tumor and keeping radioactive substances near the tumor. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving radioembolization together with ipilimumab may kill more tumor cells in patients with uveal melanoma
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the intravenous and/or GM-CT-01 administration can correct Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) anergy and induce a more efficient and long-lasting anti-tumoral immune response following peptide vaccination.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and find out what effects, good and/or bad, dabrafenib (a BRAF inhibitor) alone or dabrafenib when given in combination with gamma knife radiosurgery has on participants with a certain type of skin cancer (BRAFV600E melanoma) and brain metastases (tumors that have spread to the brain).
The purpose of the study is to determine whether additional doses of ipilimumab have a positive effect on survival in the treatment of advanced melanoma that has progressed after successful initial treatment with ipilimumab.
The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy of bevacizumab monotherapy with standard chemotherapy (DTIC) in patients with metastatic malignant melanoma. In addition, we want to evaluate the predictive value of a set biomarkers associated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) dependent angiogenesis. Also, we aim to identify mechanisms causing acquired resistance to treatment with bevacizumab and escape mechanisms caused by other angiogenic growth factors than VEGF. Finally, we want to analyze safety and influence on outcome variables by primary prevention of bevacizumab induced hypertension by low dose beta blockers in comparison with an ACE inhibitor.
