NCT00495950
The goal of this study is to measure the amount of limb swelling (lymphedema) that sometimes occurs after melanoma treatment, and to find out how people feel and react to the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma.
NCT01092728
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare how the drug Sprycel (dasatinib) can help to control the tumor in Patients With Acral Lentiginous, Mucosal, or Chronic Sun-damaged Melanoma. The safety of this drug will also be studied. Objectives: Primary Objectives: 1\. To compare the biological response of tumors With and Without Resectable Tumors from patients with acral, or mucosal melanomas after treatment with dasatinib. Secondary Objectives: 1. To assess the safety and tolerability of dasatinib in this patient population Completely Resectable Acral, Chronic Sun-damaged (CSD), and Mucosal Melanoma: 2. To assess the median time to recurrence and overall survival of patients with completely resectable acral, CSD, and mucosal melanoma treated with dasatinib 3. To assess whether FDG-avidity and KIT phosphorylation responses after treatment with dasatinib predicts prolonged time to recurrence and/or overall survival in patients with completely resectable acral, CSD, and mucosal melanomas Not Completely Resectable Acral, CSD, and Mucosal Melanoma: 4. To assess the response rate, progression free survival, and overall survival of patients with acral, CSD, and mucosal melanoma treated with dasatinib 5. To assess whether FDG-avidity and KIT phosphorylation responses after treatment with dasatinib predicts response rate, progression free survival, and/or overall survival in patients with acral, CSD, and mucosal melanomas
NCT01993654
This study aims to validate the use of laser in vivo confocal microscopy as an early diagnostic and differentiation tool of pigmented conjunctival lesions, evaluate the efficacy of in vivo confocal microscopy for follow-up (as a visualizing tool) after tumor resection for early detection of tumor recurrence, and to evaluate the use of in vivo confocal microscopy in evaluation of response to treatment. The modified technique with Heidelberg Retina Tomography (HRT) confocal microscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) are non-invasive, no-touch, imaging techniques that may help in differentiation of benign lesions like nevi or racial melanosis, from malignant lesions like primary acquired melanosis and malignant melanomas. The OCT will potentially allow to estimate tumor depth in vivo as preliminary studies have shown.
