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.
NCT00110994
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter, phase II study to compare the anti-tumor activity as measured by progression-free survival (PFS) and the tolerability of Sorafenib in combination with Dacarbazine (DTIC) versus DTIC in combination with placebo in subjects with unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma who have not received prior cytotoxic chemotherapy. A total of approximately 98 subjects will be randomized to receive DTIC + Sorafenib or DTIC + Placebo.
NCT00623766
To assess the response of melanoma with brain metastases to ipilimumab treatment while maintaining acceptable tolerability.
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.
NCT00003715
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's melanoma cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of the cancer cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of melanoma vaccine with that of interferon alfa-2b in treating patients who have stage III melanoma that has spread to regional lymph nodes following surgery.
NCT00084214
This study is designed to assess the efficacy of a weekly treatment regimen of STA-4783 and paclitaxel in comparison to paclitaxel alone on tumor response in metastatic melanoma patients.
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.
NCT01709162
The purpose of the study is to determine whether additional doses of ipilimumab have a positive effect on survival in the treatment of advanced melanoma that has progressed after successful initial treatment with ipilimumab.
NCT00563290
This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic squamous cell skin cancer or RAI Stage 0-I chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
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
NCT00441337
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of MDX-1106 when administered to patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, malignant melanoma, clear cell renal cell cancer or hormone refractory prostate cancer
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.
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.
NCT00017121
RATIONALE: Inhaling sargramostim may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for melanoma that has spread to the lung. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of inhaled sargramostim in treating patients with melanoma that is metastatic to the lung.
NCT00003274
RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known what preparation of vaccine therapy is most effective for treating melanoma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of tyrosinase/gp100 peptide vaccine in treating patients who have stage II melanoma that can be removed by surgery.
NCT00005057
RATIONALE: Inserting a modified herpesvirus gene into a person's melanoma cells may make the cancer more sensitive to the antiviral agent ganciclovir. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of gene therapy in treating patients who have stage IV melanoma.
NCT00004025
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells combined with melanoma antigens may make the body build an immune response to tumor cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill melanoma cells. Combining vaccine therapy with interleukin-2 may be an effective treatment for stage III or stage IV melanoma. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy with or without interleukin-2 in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be surgically removed.
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.
NCT00261365
The purpose of this study is to identify candidate markers predictive of response and/or serious toxicity to BMS-734016 (MDX-010).
NCT01077050
The purpose of this clinical investigation was to determine the safety and effectiveness of the SciBase III device (Test) designed to help distinguish between malignant melanoma and benign lesions, using electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) relative to the histological gold standard (Reference). The purpose of the study is to collect data to support a Pre-market Application(PMA) to obtain Food and Drug Administration(FDA) approval to market the SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer.
