Filter by:Phase IV, open-label, randomized, two-arm, multi-center study in patients with metastatic melanoma who are treatment naïve or have previously received a single non-immunologic therapy. Treatment Arm 1: "HD IL-2 first, then ipilimumab" Patients will receive two courses (four cycles) of High Dose Interleukin-2 (HD IL-2) followed by one course (four doses) of ipilimumab. Treatment Arm 2: Ipilimumab first then HD IL-2 Patients will receive one course (four doses) of ipilimumab followed by two courses (four cycles) of HD IL-2.
This was a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, single-center study in patients with histologically confirmed Stage III or IV melanoma and at least 3 metastatic cutaneous or subcutaneous lesions that were suitable and accessible for intralesional (IL) injection (1 lesion), biopsy (1 lesion), and response evaluation (1 lesion). The primary objective was to determine the safety of IL administration of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) followed by oral dosing with an antibiotic (isoniazid) and intravenous (IV) infusions of ipilimumab. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the clinical efficacy (induction of tumor response) and immunogenicity (induction of immune response against the tumors) of the combination regimen.
The purpose of this study is to determine response rates by administering low dose cyclophosphamide on day 1, followed by 5 days of outpatient IL2.
This phase II trial studies how well tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) after combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with melanoma that has spread to other places in the body. Biological therapies, such as TIL, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine phosphate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving TIL after combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
A phase I-II study of treatment of metastatic melanoma using induction therapy with Biochemotherapy plus Bevacizumab followed by consolidation therapy with Ipilimumab (BBI).
This phase I/II trial studies how well genetically modified therapeutic autologous lymphocytes (patient's own white blood cells) followed by aldesleukin work in treating patients with stage III melanoma or melanoma that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Placing chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 2 (CXCR2) and nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) into lymphocytes (white blood cells) may help the body build an immune response to kill melanoma cells. Aldesleukin may enhance this effect by stimulating white blood cells to kill more melanoma cells. Giving genetically modified therapeutic autologous lymphocytes together with aldesleukin may be a better treatment for melanoma.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ipilimumab and imatinib mesylate in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and 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 ipilimumab and imatinib mesylate may work better in treating patients with solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the intravenous and/or GM-CT-01 administration can correct Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) anergy and induce a more efficient and long-lasting anti-tumoral immune response following peptide vaccination.
Purpose of this Pilot Study: The investigators want to study the safety, side effects, and benefits of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), when they are given with the drug ipilimumab. Ipilimumab is a type of immunotherapy - a drug that is used to boost the ability of the immune system to fight cancer, infection, and other diseases.
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]
