Filter by:This research study was intended to be a Phase I/II clinical trial, but the trial was terminated before the phase 1 portion was completed. Phase I clinical trials test the safety of an investigational combination of drugs. Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug combination to use for the Phase II portion of the study, which will enroll more participants and continue to study the effects of the drug and the safest dose. "Investigational" means that the combination of vemurafenib and leflunomide is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. It also means that the FDA has not approved this drug combination for your type of cancer. Genes are a specific part of your cell materials which send code messages to determine what the investigators bodies look like, such as eye color, and instruct cells to control growth and development of the body. Researchers have found that a large number of melanoma cells have mutations in the BRAF gene. Normally, the BRAF gene helps to control how cells grow. Mutations in the BRAF gene may disrupt this control and allow cells in the skin to change into cancer cells, in which case, the cells keep dividing and growing out of control. Specifically, it has been shown that vemurafenib blocks the effects of these mutations in the BRAF gene, and, as a result, may help to prevent cancer growth. The FDA has approved vemurafenib for use in patients with BRAF mutation positive melanoma that is unable to be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread (metastatic). Leflunomide is in a class of medications called disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). It is FDA approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and it is believed to decrease inflammation in that setting. However it is not approved for treatment of melanoma. The researchers of this study believe this agent may help prevent cancer growth as well as enhance the properties of drugs that target the BRAF gene (such as vemurafenib) based on recently published laboratory research, and would like to learn more about any effects this combination may have on your disease. The main purposes of this study are to determine the highest dose of vemurafenib and leflunomide that can be given in combination without causing severe side effects, to see whether the combination of vemurafenib and leflunomide is safe in participants with BRAF mutant metastatic melanoma and to learn if the combination of vemurafenib and leflunomide shows any signs of effectively treating your disease.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study to assess the PFS-6m of E7016 at the selected dose of 320-mg once daily (QD) in combination with 150-mg/m2 of Temozolomide (TMZ) in subjects with wt BRAF Stage IV or unresectable Stage III melanoma with disease progression. Eligible subjects must have measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).
The study design includes an open-label, dose escalation phase followed by a blinded, randomized phase, which combines epacadostat (an oral IDO1 inhibitor) with an approved therapy and compares to approved therapy plus placebo in metastatic melanoma patients.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of doxycycline that can be combined with temozolomide and ipilimumab in patients with advanced melanoma. The safety and level of effectiveness of the study drug combination will also be studied. Doxycycline is designed to treat bacterial infection. It also blocks a protein called iNOS that is important in tumor cell growth, which may slow the growth of or kill cancer cells. Temozolomide is designed to stop cancer cells from making new DNA (the genetic material of cells). This may stop the cancer cells from dividing into new cells. Ipilimumab is designed to block the activity of cells that decrease the immune system's ability to fight cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter, single-agent, phase II study of continuous oral Zelboraf (vemurafenib) in patients with locally-advanced, unresectable, stage IIIc or metastatic melanoma and activating exon 15 BRAF mutations other than V600E.
Background: - One possible treatment for advanced melanoma involves collecting white blood cells from the person with cancer and growing them in a laboratory. The cells can then be given back to the donor. This study will use this white blood cell treatment with the cancer treatment drug vemurafenib. Vemurafenib targets melanoma cells that have a mutation in the B-raf gene, and may be able to make them shrink. Objectives: - To see if vemurafenib and white blood cell therapy is a safe and effective treatment for advanced melanoma. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years and less than or equal to 66 years of age who have advanced melanoma that contains the B-raf genetic mutation. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. - White blood cells will be collected from tumor cells. These cells will be collected during surgery or a tumor biopsy. - Participants will have leukapheresis to collect additional white blood cells for the procedure. - Participants will take vemurafenib twice a day, starting 3 weeks before receiving the white blood cells. - Participants will have 1 week of chemotherapy to prepare their immune system to accept the white blood cells. - Participants will receive an infusion of their collected white blood cells. They will also receive aldesleukin for up to 5 days to boost the immune system s response to the white blood cells. They will remain in the hospital until they have recovered from the treatment. - Participants will have frequent follow-up visits to monitor the outcome of the treatment.
The purpose of this trial is to test the safety and tolerance of the combination therapy with cytarabine, lomustine and radiotherapy in patients with leptomeningeal metastasis from malignant melanoma.
This is a multi-center, open-label, phase Ib/II study. First, the aim of the phase Ib part is to estimate the MTD(s) and/or to identify the recommended phase II dose(s) (RP2D) for the combination of MEK162 and AMG 479 (ganitumab), followed by the phase II part to assess the clinical efficacy and to further assess the safety of the combination in selected patient populations. The dose escalation part of the study will be guided by a Bayesian Logistic Regression Model (BLRM). At least 18 patients are expected to be enrolled in the dose escalation part. Following MTD/ RP2D declaration, patients will be enrolled in three phase II arms to assess efficacy of the combination as well as to better understand the safety, tolerability, PK, antibody concentrations and PD of the combination at MTD/RP2D. Phase II arm 1 will consist of approximately 25 patients with KRAS-mutant colorectal adenocarcinoma. Phase II arm 2 will consist of approximately 20 patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Phase II arm 3 will consist of approximately 28 patients with mutant BRAFV600 melanoma. Patients will be treated until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity develops, or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first. All patients will be followed up - at minimum patients must complete the safety follow-up assessments 30 days after the last dose of the study treatment.
Patients who were previously enrolled in Study IMM-101-001 and who provided informed consent were eligible to participate in this study. Once eligibility was confirmed, a full medical history covering the period from completion of Study IMM-101-001 to date was taken. The treatment regimen with IMM-101 was one dose given every 4 weeks or as close to this interval as permitted due to practical or logistic considerations. The dose interval could be modified at the discretion of the Investigator provided the minimum period between doses was no less than 14 days. The overall objective was to determine the long term safety profile of IMM-101 administered intradermally for extended use.
This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients undergoing PET/computed tomography (CT). Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, may help doctors diagnose cancer or help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment
