NCT01495988
This phase 2 clinical trial randomizes patients with BRAF mutant melanoma to either (1) standard of care (SOC) - BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib in combination with MEK inhibitor cobimetinib; or, (2) SOC plus bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF antibody that suppresses new blood vessel formation and can stimulate the immune system. Previous clinical studies in melanoma have shown that bevacizumab may improve clinical benefit (progression free survival) if combined with ipilimumab or abraxane. Preclinical studies suggest that VEGF increase plays a role in resistance to BRAF inhibitors. This randomized study will ask whether the addition of bevacizumab to targeted therapy SOC in BRAF mutant melanoma can improve response rates and clinical benefit. Patients may have received no therapy for advanced disease or up to 2 prior therapies, excluding BRAF and MEK inhibitors.
NCT00405587
The primary objective of this FIH study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of PLX4032 in patients with solid tumors. The secondary objective is to assess the pharmacodynamic activity in paired biopsy specimens obtained from patients with malignant melanoma who have the V600E BRAF oncogenic mutation.
NCT01001299
This open-label single-arm study will evaluate the effect of RO5185426 \[RG7204; PLEXXIKON: PLX4032\] on the pharmacokinetics of five CYP450 substrates (caffeine, warfarin + vitamin K, omeprazole, dextromethorphan, midazolam) administered as a drug cocktail to patients with metastatic melanoma. The study will also evaluate efficacy and safety of RO5185426. On day 1, patients will receive the drug cocktail. On days 6 to 19, patients will receive RO5185426 twice daily. On day 20, patients will receive RO5185426 and the drug cocktail and on days 21 to 25, patients will receive RO5185426. Assessments will be made at regular intervals during the dosing periods and at follow-up. Patients may continue on study treatment (RO5185426) until the development of progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. Target sample size \<50.
NCT00769704
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with talimogene laherparepvec compared to subcutaneously administered GM-CSF in patients with unresectable Stage IIIb, IIIc and Stage IV melanoma. The efficacy endpoints of the study aim to demonstrate overall clinical benefit for patients treated with talimogene laherparepvec as compared to GM-CSF.
NCT00110019
This randomized phase III trial studies carboplatin, paclitaxel, and sorafenib tosylate to see how well they work compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether giving carboplatin and paclitaxel together with sorafenib tosylate is more effective than carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating melanoma.
NCT00612664
The main purpose of this study is to estimate the proportion of patients with a type of skin cancer called melanoma who are progression free, (that is, the cancer has not gotten substantially worse), when treated with Anti-CD137 (4-1BB) (BMS-663513) at 0.1 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg every 3 weeks or 1 mg/kg every 6 weeks
NCT00022464
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of CCI-779 in treating patients who have metastatic melanoma.
NCT00429312
The purpose of this research study is to find out whether JX-594 (Pexa-Vec) is safe and effective for treating surgically unresectable malignant melanoma.
NCT00470470
This phase II trial is studying how well imatinib mesylate works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT00111007
The objectives of this study are to compare the anti-tumor activity as measured by Progression Free Survival (PFS) and tolerability of Sorafenib in combination with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin versus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in combination with placebo in subjects with unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma who progressed after receiving only one prior therapy containing Dacarbazine (DTIC) or Temozolomide (TMZ).
NCT00920907
The purpose of this clinical research study is to compare pharmacokinetics of ipilimumab manufactured by two different processes
NCT00623766
To assess the response of melanoma with brain metastases to ipilimumab treatment while maintaining acceptable tolerability.
NCT00261365
The purpose of this study is to identify candidate markers predictive of response and/or serious toxicity to BMS-734016 (MDX-010).
NCT02147951
Expanded access of Talimogene Laherparepvec for subjects with unresected, stage IIIb to IVM1c Melanoma.
NCT00256230
Melanoma remains a malignancy that is largely resistant to chemotherapy. Metastatic disease responds poorly to the treatments used today with only 2 out of 30 drugs tested, DTIC and nitrosoureas, showing response rates greater than 10%, and complete responses are rare. DTIC-based regimen has been recognized as a standard chemotherapy for advanced melanoma, and temozolomide demonstrated efficacy equal to that of DTIC and is an oral alternative agent that also crosses the blood brain barrier. Randomized phase III trials have shown no survival benefit of adding other agents (cisplatin, BCNU, and tamoxifen). Biochemotherapy is being developed extensively with moderate improvement in the responsive rate (approximately 50%) and is under evaluation in randomized trial to identify whether there is survival benefit to this strategy, compared with chemotherapy alone. Recently, a randomized phase III study comparing chemotherapy (cisplatin, dacarbazine, and tamoxifen) with biochemotherapy (the same chemotherapy regimen plus high-dose IL-2 and interferon alfa) have shown 44% response rate for biochemotherapy vs. 27% for chemotherapy. However, the tendency toward an increased response rate in patients who received biochemotherapy did not translate into an increase in overall survival, and there was, in fact, a trend for a survival advantage in patients receiving chemotherapy alone (median survival: 10.7 vs 15.8 months). New agents (or combinations) need to be developed for this refractory malignancy. The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate and evaluate the toxicity of disulfiram (DSF) in the treatment of Stage IV melanoma. The advantages of using DSF in this phase I/II trial are the following: * DSF has been used as a drug for many years for the treatment of alcoholism. Its mechanism, pharmacokinetics, toxicity/tolerable dose are well known, and this drug is relatively non-toxic by itself at therapeutic dose. Doses of greater than 3000mg/m2 can cause reversible confusion. * DSF can be taken orally; therefore, it is convenient to administer. * DSF can penetrate the blood-brain barrier (unlike dacarbazine and many other chemotherapy agents); therefore, it might have an active effect on CNS metastasis. This study is designed to include women and minorities, but is not designed to measure differences of intervention effect.
NCT01120275
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.
NCT00533702
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.
NCT01841463
* An Open Label, Multicenter, Phase I Extension Study of an Oral Cdk Inhibitor P1446A-05 Administered with an Oral BRAF Inhibitor Vemurafenib (Zelboraf®) in Patients with Advanced or Inoperable Malignant Melanoma with BRAF Mutation * The primary objective is to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of the co-administration of P1446A-05 with vemurafenib, in melanoma patients with BRAF mutation
NCT01765543
This open-label, multi-center, three-period, one-sequence study will investigate the effect of rifampin on the PK of vemurafenib in participants with unresectable BRAFV600-mutation positive metastatic melanoma or other malignant tumor type that harbors a V600-activating mutation of BRAF without acceptable standard treatment options. Eligible participants will have the option to continue treatment with vemurafenib as part of an extension study GO28399 (NCT01739764).
NCT01435369
The purpose of this research study is to see if the study drug, CT-011, is safe to give and if it helps people with melanoma that has spread to other areas of their body. CT-011 is a monoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies are a type of drug that is typically given by infusion into a vein (intravenously). Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies made in a lab instead of by the immune system which then recruit the immune system to help fight cancer cells. All final eligible subjects will receive an intravenous infusion of CT-011. This study will test two dose levels of the study drug: Group 1: Patients in this group will be given the study drug at dose level 1 (1.5 mg/kg). Group 2: Patients in this group will be given the study drug at dose level 2 (6.0 mg/kg). Each group will be given the study drug through an IV (a needle put into a vein in the arm) on day 1. After day 1, the study drug will be given every other week. Patients may be given a total of up to 27 study drug infusions for about 12 months while they are in the study. Approximately 100 patients will participate in this study.
