Filter by:This clinical trial studies individualized temozolomide (TMZ) in treating patients with stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as TMZ, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving TMZ at different times, which are determined individually for each patient based on the phase (biorhythm) of the immune system response against the tumor may allow for a better drug response and may kill more tumor cells
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
This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of RO4929097 (gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097) when given together with whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery and to see how well it works compared to whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery alone in treating patients with breast cancer or other cancers (such as lung cancer or melanoma) that have spread to the brain. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Whole-brain radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays deliver radiation to the entire brain to treat tumors that can and cannot be seen. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to deliver x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known whether giving RO4929097 together with whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery may kill more tumor cells.
This pilot phase II trial is studying how well RO4929097 works in treating patients with stage III, or stage IV melanoma that can be removed by surgery. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
NILOMEL is a phase II multicentric uncontrolled open national trial assessing the efficacy of Nilotinib in first or second line treatment of primary melanomas , stage III unresectable melanomas, or Stage IV melanomas with c-KIT mutation or amplification. The primary objective is overall response rate (partial and complete response) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, assessed using CT-SCAN (stage IV melanoma) or MRI (unresectable melanoma) after 6 months therapy with Nilotinib 800 mg/d. Secondary objectives include: - Disease control rate (complete, partial response and stable disease) - Metabolic response - Tolerance NCI CTCAE Version 3.0 - Biomarkers associated to response and disease control.
The purpose of this study is to find out how often two investigational drugs that are given together will shrink the patient's tumor and how well they will prolong the time it takes their tumor to grow. The investigators also wish to find out how they affect certain substances in the patient's tumor and in their blood important for tumor growth. The combination of these drugs is experimental, and has not been proven to help treat melanoma
The purpose of this study is to assess the objective response rate of lenvatinib in previously treated participants with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma and disease progression.
Primary: - Phase Ib: To define the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of E7080 administered in combination with dacarbazine. - Phase II: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of E7080 administered in combination with dacarbazine, compared with dacarbazine alone. Secondary: -Phase II: to make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of E7080 administered in combination with dacarbazine, compared with dacarbazine alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether participants with Stage IIIC and Stage IV Melanoma experience benefit when treated with Denileukin diftitox in two different dosing schedules.
This phase II trial is studying how well gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma. Gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
