This phase II trial studies how well giving dabrafenib alone and in combination with trametinib before surgery works in treating patients with advanced melanoma that can be removed by surgery. Studying samples of tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients receiving dabrafenib and trametinib may help doctors learn more about the effects of these drugs on cells and help identify biomarkers that determine which patients will respond to these drugs best.
The purpose of this study is to collect data to describe the real-world use and safety and effectiveness of MelaFind® in a post-approval clinical setting.
The purpose of the study is to comply with the Pediatric Investigation Plan requirements of Ipilimumab
The purpose of this study is to determine whether dacarbazine and carmustine at the doses and schedule used in this study will help to increase tumor shrinkage.
An attractive area of research regards immune manipulations to recover some of the patient's immune response to his/her tumor, a strategy that has the advantages of being both natural and potentially long-lasting.[1] We propose to combine immunotherapy with radiotherapy directed to a metastatic site, to create a "hub" for in vivo immunization to the tumor, to enable "tumor rejection" at the other metastatic sites. This "in vivo immunization" is explored as a viable alternative to an individualized vaccine approach. Preclinical data generated by us and others support a "proof of principle" clinical trial that may open the field to an alternative use of radiotherapy in a novel partnership with cancer immunotherapy.[2]
This is a research study to evaluate treatment of metastatic melanoma patients with a combination of drugs. The combination being studied is vemurafenib (also known as Zelboraf®) and High Dose Interleukin-2 (abbreviated as HD IL-2 and known as Proleukin®). The combination of vemurafenib and HD IL-2 immunotherapy may enhance the response.
will scientifically evaluate whether Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) has activity in refractory solid tumors within the context of a phase II clinical study
This is a study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of peginterferon alfa-2b (PegIFN alfa-2b) as adjuvant treatment in Japanese participants with malignant melanoma after definitive surgical resection including complete lymphadenectomy. Participants on this study will initially receive PegIFN alfa-2b for 8 weeks (Induction Phase) and then may continue to receive PegIFN alfa-2b (Maintenance Phase) as long as they are experiencing clinical benefit (Up to 252 weeks). The primary hypothesis is that peginterferon alfa-2b administered on a weekly basis is safe and tolerated.
The purpose of the phase 1 portion of the study is to determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended dose (RD) and the safety/tolerability of PX-866 in combination vemurafenib in patients with any advanced BRAF-mutant cancer. The purpose of the phase 2 portion of the study is to compare progression free survival (PFS), antitumor activity (response rate), disease control rate (DCR), and the safety and tolerability of PX-866 in combination with vemurafenib vs. vemurafenib alone in patients with advanced BRAF-mutant melanoma at the doses recommended from Phase 1.
