Filter by:This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase II clinical trial evaluating pembrolizumab in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel as a treatment in unresectable locally advanced or metastatic melanoma.
In patients with multiple metastatic nodules of melanoma, the investigators evaluated whether autologous cytokines injected into cutaneous metastases would induce a systemic immune response as evidenced by the accumulation of dense lymphocytic infiltrates in metastases that had never been injected. Such immune responses were observed, and often the never-injected metastasis regressed completely. 20% of patients remained free of disease for greater than 5 years.
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.
This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of a combination of ipilimumab and fotemustine in Patients with Unresectable Locally Advanced or Metastatic Malignant Melanoma.
In this trial the investigators want to combine chemotherapy with immunotherapy by giving the patients Temozolomide, before vaccination. The investigators have also included hTERT and survivin mRNA in the vaccine. Finally, the investigators want to introduce ex vivo T cell expansion after lymphodepletion for the patients who show an immune response.
To determine the tolerability, safety, end-organ toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of AS1409 in single and repeated doses.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the progression-free survival (PFS) of participants with previously untreated metastatic malignant melanoma when treated with IMC-1121B (ramucirumab) alone or in combination with dacarbazine.
The study is an open-label, single arm multicenter Phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of Abraxane and Avastin as first-line therapy for patients with unresectable metastatic malignant melanoma. The patient sample will be approximately 50 individuals, males and females 18 years of age or older with measurable metastatic melanoma. Patients will be treated with Abraxane administered weekly for 3 weeks via a 30-minute IV infusion at150 mg/m2 followed by 1 week rest (28-day cycle). Avastin will be administered in a dose of 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (without rest period). Patients will be evaluated for disease progression every 2 months and those who do not have disease progression or unacceptable toxicity will be offered ongoing therapy until they have progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and appropriate dose of the combination of Temodar and Sutent as first-line therapy for patients with metastatic malignant melanoma (Phase 1). Once the safety and appropriate dose is determined, additional patients will be studied at that dose to determine if there is clinical benefit as determined by the primary end-point of progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months and additional secondary endpoints (Phase II).
