Filter by:This proof-of-concept study will evaluate the ability of vorinostat to induce the transformation of Class 2 uveal melanoma cells into a cell phenotype that resembles normal melanocytes.
Neoadjuvant Vemurafenib and Cobimetinib in BRAF V600 Mutant Stage IIIB-C Melanoma • To evaluate the overall radiological complete response rate in patients with stage IIIB/C melanoma after 8 weeks of neoadjuvant vemurafenib and cobimetinib
This study is being done to find out if the combination of dabrafenib, trametinib and digoxin will lessen the side effects that you may experience and to measure your response and duration of response to the combination of drugs.
This study is designed to investigate the biomarkers, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the liposomal micro-ribonucleic acid-34 (microRNA-34, miR-34). Melanoma patients with easily accessible lesions will undergo serial biopsies and serial blood samples will be collected.
The study is a global safety surveillance study of pregnancy outcomes in women who were exposed to ipilimumab during pregnancy and pediatric outcomes up to 5 years of age
Background: Most patients who have surgery for cancer that has metastasized (spread) to the lungs later get more metastases that cannot be treated with surgery or chemotherapy. The drug resistance may be due to DNA changes in cancer cells that activate some genes and turn others off. Researchers want to test a combination of drugs for people with metasteses. Decitabine (DAC) may reverse the DNA changes. Tetrahydrouridine (THU) makes DAC last longer. Celecoxib may slow the progression of cancer. Objectives: To determine a safe dose of DAC and THU by mouth. To see if DAC-THU with or without celecoxib reactivates genes in lung metastases. Eligibility: Adults 18 years and older, with cancer in both lungs that can be treated with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened with: Blood, lung, and heart tests Scans Tests for viruses Pregnancy test Participants will have blood and stool tests. They will have surgery to remove metasteses in 1 lung. About 3 weeks later, they will have lung scans. If the disease is not back, participants will get DAC and THU with or without celecoxib, by mouth for 6 weeks. Participants will have more scans. If the disease is not worse, they will continue the study drugs for 4 more weeks. Participants will have more scans and heart and lung tests. They will have surgery to remove metasteses from the other lung. Participants will have weekly blood and urine tests, plus several blood draws the first 2 days of taking the drugs. Participants will have exams and blood tests before each surgery. Participants will have follow-up visits 1 and 3 months after the second surgery.
This research trial studies the levels of a type of biomarker, circulating tumor cells (CTCs), in the blood of patients with stage I-IV melanoma. A biomarker is a biological molecule found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that is a sign of a normal or abnormal process, or of a condition or disease. A biomarker may be used to see how well the body responds to a treatment for a disease or condition. Studying samples of blood in the laboratory obtained before and after treatment from patients with melanoma may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in CTC levels and whether they may predict how well patients will respond to therapy.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well pembrolizumab and imatinib mesylate work in treating patients with melanoma with c-KIT mutation or amplification that has spread to nearby tissue or other places in the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and imatinib mesylate may work better in treating patients with melanoma with c-KIT mutation or amplification that has spread to nearby tissue or other places in the body.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of Infliximab and oral prednisone versus methylprednisolone and oral prednisone in patients with melanoma, lung cancer, or renal cell carcinoma who have immune related Grade 3-4 diarrhea for up to 3 days or persistent Grade 2 diarrhea for more than 5 days after treatment with Yervoy and/or Opdivo
This study plans to test the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of the combination biotherapy regimen consisting of nivolumab plus ipilimumab versus nivolumab alone in patients with advanced but operable melanoma. Evaluation of the presence of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells as well as that of PDL1 expression and IDO expression will be associated with clinical response (pathologic and/or radiologic). The study will test the radiologic/clinical preoperative response rate, recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). It will evaluate the safety of neoadjuvant nivolumab and neoadjuvant nivolumab-ipilimumab. Up to 66 patients will be randomized in 1:1 ratio.
