The MTD of QBS10072S will be confirmed in patients with relapsed or refractory grade 4 astrocytoma.

NCT ID: NCT04420273 Completed - Melanoma Clinical Trials

Targeted Melanoma Detection With Skin Self-Examination During COVID-19 Restricted Physician Access

TMD
Start date: July 2, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to reduce melanoma mortality by improving early detection of melanoma with skin self-examination (SSE) among people who self-identify as being at risk and seek care for a concerning mole. Because women are more likely than men to perform SSE, women who are engaged in health promotion by having a recent screening mammogram are the focus of this research. Self-management of melanoma detection with SSE depends on ready access to dermatologists when a concerning mole is detected. In March 2020, the Illinois stay at home order (COVID-19) prohibited non-essential health care, including screening mammography and dermatology office-based care, and both are expected to remain limited until fall 2020. This submission explores a) the effectiveness of targeted melanoma detection (TMD) among women, who identify their risk of having a melanoma, learn to perform SSE, and perform SSE, and b) the effectiveness of adhesive patch-based home sample collection for genomic analysis to rule out melanoma in moles identified by women (who received the intervention) as concerning will be explored.

This study will explore the Efficacy and Safety of UV1 administered with GM-CSF in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab.

NCT ID: NCT04334824 Completed - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Hydrochlorothiazide and Risk of Skin Cancer

Start date: May 27, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of hydrochlorothiazide is associated with an increased risk of skin cancer compared with the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. More specifically, the investigators will assess the risk of non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer. The investigators hypothesize that the use of hydrochlorothiazide is associated with an increased risk of skin cancer compared with ACE inhibitors. The investigators will carry out separate population-based cohort studies using administrative health databases from seven Canadian provinces and the United States. The study cohort will be defined by the initiation of hydrochlorothiazide or an ACE inhibitor, with follow-up until an incident diagnosis of non-melanoma or melanoma skin cancer. The results from the separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer in users of hydrochlorothiazide.

NCT ID: NCT04310397 Completed - Clinical trials for Pathologic Stage IIIC Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8

Dabrafenib, Trametinib, and Spartalizumab for the Treatment of BRAF V600E or V600K Mutation Positive Stage IIIB/C/D Melanoma

Start date: January 29, 2020
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well dabrafenib, trametinib, and spartalizumab works in treating patients with BRAF V600E or V600K mutation positive stage IIIB/C/D melanoma, who do not achieve a pathologic complete response after 8 weeks of dabrafenib and trametinib treatment. Patients who achieve a pathologic complete response after 8 weeks of neoadjuvant dabrafenib and trametinib will receive adjuvant dabrafenib and trametinib. Dabrafenib and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as spartalizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving dabrafenib, trametinib, and spartalizumab may help to control melanoma.

NCT ID: NCT04293289 Completed - Malignant Melanoma Clinical Trials

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Using CICS-1 and SPM-011 for Malignant Melanoma and Angiosarcoma

Start date: November 19, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Among skin malignancies, patients with malignant melanoma or angiosarcoma are treated with BNCT using CICS-1 and SPM-011 (borofalan (10B)). Through this trial, safety and appropriate treatment dose will be determined.

NCT ID: NCT04274816 Completed - Cutaneous Melanoma Clinical Trials

Intradermal Injection of Anti-CTLA-4 in Patients With Stage I/II Melanoma

Start date: July 10, 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This study evaluates the clinical safety and tolerability, and the immunological effects of local intradermal injection of tremelimumab in patients with clinical stage I/II melanoma patients undergoing a sentinel node biopsy (SNB). Patients will be treated by local intradermal injections around the excision site of the primary tumor with escalating doses of 2, 5, 10 or 20 mg tremelimumab.

NCT ID: NCT04253574 Completed - Malignant Melanoma Clinical Trials

Comparison of PET/CT and Ultrasound in Staging of Malignant Melanoma

Start date: September 1, 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is the first study which evaluates the different staging modalities 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose PET/CT (PET/CT) and diagnostic ultrasound (US) in a single patient cohort with malignant melanoma (MM). Previous analyses are ambivalent regarding the modality of choice. These analyses, however, compared separate patient cohorts for each modality. Inclusion criteria were a primary staging or re-staging of suspected or confirmed MM with one or more PET/CT and/or one or more US. Exclusion criteria were the non-existence of a malignancy or a malignancy other than MM, alone or in combination with an MM. The analysis includes the calculation of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy in a per-patient (PPA), per-examination (PEA) and per-lesion analysis (PLA). This was done individually for PET/CT and US, and in PLA also for the combination of these two radiological modalities. Furthermore, US was divided into US as a whole (wUS), peripheral lymph nodes (pUS) and/or abdomen (aUS). The principle equivalence of the two imaging modalities is set up as a null hypothesis H0 in all three analyses. As a further null hypothesis H0, the equivalence of the combined application compared to the sole applications of the two imaging modalities is asserted. The aim is the refutation of the null hypothesis H0 by significant differences in sensitivity and specificity.

NCT ID: NCT04229277 Completed - Malignant Melanoma Clinical Trials

Fast Track Diagnosis of Skin Cancer by Advanced Imaging

Start date: September 9, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Aim of study: To collect data for a new image-guided diagnostic algoritm, enabling the investigators to differentiate more precisely between benign and malignant pigmented tumours at the bedside. This study will include 60 patients with four different pigmented tumours: seborrheic keratosis (n=15), dermal nevi (n=15), pigmented basal cell carcinomas (n=15), and malignant melanomas (n=15), these four types of tumours are depicted in Fig.1, and all lesions will be scanned by four imaging technologies, recruiting patients from Sept 2019 to May 2020. In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (CM) will be used to diagnose pigmented tumours at a cellular level and provide micromorphological information5;6. Flourescent CM will be applied to enhance contrast in surrounding tissue/tumours. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), doppler high-frequency ultrasound (HIFU) and photoacustic imaging (also termed MSOT, multispectral optoacustic tomography) will be used to measure tumour thickness, to delineate tumours and analyze blood flow in blood vessels. Potential diagnostic features from each lesion type will be tested. Diagnostic accuracy will be statistically evaluated by comparison to gold standard histopathology
