NCT ID: NCT02744209 Terminated - Stage IV Melanoma Clinical Trials

Immune Predictors of Response to Pembrolizumab Therapy in Stage IV Melanoma Patients

Start date: April 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study will test whether immune functions in individual cancer patients can be characterized in a quantitative manner using new technologies that analyze nucleic acids from peripheral blood cells and whether those quantitations can be used to predict the response outcomes of patients being treated with Pembrolizumab.

NCT ID: NCT02327390 Terminated - Stage IV Melanoma Clinical Trials

Ex Vivo-Activated Lymph Node Lymphocytes in Treating Patients With Stage IIIC-IV Melanoma

Start date: March 17, 2015
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the safety and best dose of ex-vivo activated lymph node lymphocytes (X-ACT) as well as how well the immune system responds to X-ACT treatment in participants with stage IIIC-IV melanoma. X-ACT treatment involves removing a participant's lymph node(s) close to a melanoma tumor. These lymph nodes contain special kind of cells (called T cells) which can be activated (getting the cells to start up certain responses in the immune system) outside of the body in an approved laboratory. The activated T cells are then injected back into the same participant using an i.v. to help the participant's immune system to target melanoma. The participant will undergo regular blood testing to determine whether the X-ACT treatment has resulted in changes to the immune system and also whether the T cells which were given back to the patient persist in the blood stream over time. In addition, the effect of the X-ACT treatment on the growth or shrinkage of the participant's melanoma will be measured.

NCT ID: NCT02236546 Terminated - Stage IV Melanoma Clinical Trials

FDG-PET in Advanced Melanoma

Start date: May 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This clinical trial studies how well FDG-PET/CT measures early response in patients with stage III-IV melanoma who are receiving chemotherapy. Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) uses a metabolic imaging radiotracer, [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), which selectively accumulates in tumors. FDG-PET/CT of advanced melanoma before, during, and after treatment may improve methods for predicting which patients may benefit from therapy.

NCT ID: NCT02203604 Terminated - Stage IV Melanoma Clinical Trials

High-Dose Aldesleukin and Ipilimumab in Treating Patients With Stage III-IV Melanoma That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery

Start date: November 26, 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well high-dose aldesleukin and ipilimumab works in treating patients with stage III-IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Biological therapies, such as aldesleukin, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving high-dose aldesleukin together with ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with melanoma.

NCT ID: NCT02054520 Terminated - Metastatic Melanoma Clinical Trials

Immunotherapy Study for Patients With Stage IV Melanoma

Start date: June 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors (drugs called ipilimumab, nivolumab, or pembrolizumab), either given alone, or in combination with the experimental immunotherapy drug, dorgenmeltucel-L, for melanoma. We hypothesize that this form of combinatorial immunotherapy will result in tumor stabilization or shrinkage, significant prolongation of progression-free, disease-free or overall survival compared to the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors alone.

NCT ID: NCT01875653 Terminated - Stage IV Melanoma Clinical Trials

Autologous Dendritic Cell-Tumor Cell Immunotherapy for Metastatic Melanoma

Start date: October 2014
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tumor cell therapy. This research study is evaluating if a patient-specific experimental therapy for metastatic melanoma will lengthen survival with minimal harmful effects. It is called an experimental therapy (or "study therapy") because it is not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This research study will use the patient's own tumor cells,the patient's own dendritic cells (a type of immune cell), and a granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF, a type of growth factor). GM-CSF is a natural growth factor that stimulates growth of white blood cells in the body. Since 1991, GM-CSF has been used as a standard treatment to help increase the number of white blood cells after chemotherapy. The patient's dendritic cells are grown in a test-tube with the patient's tumor cells and the growth factor. The resulting solution is called the study therapy. The intent of the study therapy is to make the dendritic cells more effective at fighting the tumor when they are injected back into the patient.

NCT ID: NCT01835184 Terminated - Clinical trials for Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

Cabozantinib-S-Malate and Vemurafenib in Treating Patients With Solid Tumors or Melanoma That is Metastatic or That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery

Start date: May 2013
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cabozantinib-s-malate when given together with vemurafenib in treating patients with solid tumors or melanoma that is metastatic or that cannot be removed by surgery. Cabozantinib-s-malate and vemurafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

NCT ID: NCT01533948 Terminated - Stage IV Melanoma Clinical Trials

Axitinib in Treating Patients With Melanoma That is Metastatic or Cannot Be Removed by Surgery

Start date: January 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well axitinib works in treating patients with melanoma that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

NCT ID: NCT01519427 Terminated - Stage IV Melanoma Clinical Trials

Selumetinib and Akt Inhibitor MK2206 in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma Who Failed Prior Therapy With Vemurafenib or Dabrafenib

Start date: January 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well selumetinib and Akt inhibitor MK2206 works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma who failed prior therapy with vemurafenib or dabrafenib. Selumetinib and Akt inhibitor MK2206 stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet know whether giving selumetinib and Akt inhibitor MK2206 together is an effective treatment for advanced melanoma.

Aurora A Kinase Inhibitor MLN8237 in Treating Patients With Unresectable Stage III-IV Melanoma

RATIONALE: Aurora A kinase inhibitor MLN8237 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well Aurora A kinase inhibitor MLN8237 works in treating patients with unresectable stage III-IV melanoma Funding Source - FDA OOPD
