NCT02988817
The purpose of the trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and to establish the safety profile of HuMax-AXL-ADC in a mixed population of patients with specified solid tumors
NCT03419637
Part I of this study surveys patients in the Penn Dermatologic Surgery Clinic to evaluate if a need exists for increased patient understanding of their skin history and which factors, if any, related to the patient or their skin history are associated with this need. In part II, the study aim is to evaluate mobile technology as a way of improving patient understanding of diagnoses, treatments, and procedures. In this part of the study, eligible patients from part I will be randomized either to a control group that receives the current standard of care regarding in-clinic counseling, informational handouts, and access to their medical records, or to an intervention group that in addition to the current standard of care, is setup with a mobile app, allowing patients to view a skin history summary report and a reference on their skin findings and procedures. Patients then complete a survey to establish their baseline understanding of their clinic visit. Three weeks later the patient is emailed a follow-up survey to assess their understanding of their in-clinic visit. Differences in understanding between the two study groups will be assessed by comparing the number of correctly answered survey items regarding their in-clinic visit, both at baseline (immediately following their surgery) and three weeks later. Qualitative information regarding satisfaction and areas of improvement will also be collected via survey. Patients who have an appointment during the study period at the Penn Dermatologic Surgery clinic for a skin excision will be eligible for inclusion.
NCT00071981
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from peptides may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying four different vaccines using melanoma peptides from cytotoxic T cells and helper T cells to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic melanoma.
NCT03060356
This is a pilot study to evaluate feasibility, safety, and preliminary evidence of efficacy for intravenously administered, RNA electroporated autologous T cells expressing MET chimeric antigen receptors with tandem TCRζ and 4-1BB (TCRζ /4-1BB) co-stimulatory domains (referred to as "RNA CART-cMET") in patients with advanced melanoma or breast carcinoma.
NCT03849469
This is a Phase 1, multiple dose, ascending-dose escalation study and expansion study designed to define a maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose of XmAb22841 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab; to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and anti-tumor activity of XmAb22841 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with select advanced solid tumors.
NCT02178722
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy when combining MK-3475 and INCB024360 in participants with certain cancers. This study was conducted in 2 phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2.
NCT01391143
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of MGA271 when given by intravenous (IV) infusion to patients with refractory cancer. The study will also evaluate how long MGA271 stays in the blood and how long it takes for it to leave the body, what is the highest dose that can safely be given, and whether it may have an effect on tumors.
NCT02716077
Adult patients with histologically proven melanoma who will be treated with pembrolizumab will undergo FDG PET/CT scan as an early evaluation of response to therapy. Changes in FDG uptake will be correlated with lab and pathology results.
NCT03679767
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical activity and safety of INCMGA00012 in participants with advanced solid tumors where the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors has previously been established.
NCT02714218
The purpose of this study is to evaluate two different dose combinations of nivolumab and ipilimumab in the treatment of melanoma.
NCT02557321
This is an international multicenter, open-label, sequential phase study of intralesional (IL) PV-10 in combination with immune checkpoint inhibition. Metastatic melanoma patients (Stage IV or Stage III unresectable, in-transit or satellite disease) with at least one injectable lesion who are candidates for pembrolizumab (both treatment naïve patients and treatment refractory patients who have failed to achieve a complete or partial response to or previously progressed on one or more checkpoint inhibitor) will be eligible for study participation. In the Phase 1b portion of the study, all participants will receive the combination of IL PV-10 and pembrolizumab (i.e., PV-10 + standard of care). In the subsequent Phase 2 portion of the study participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either the combination of IL PV-10 and pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab alone (i.e., PV-10 + standard of care vs. standard of care).
NCT00730639
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of MDX-1106 in patients with certain types of cancer. Another purpose is to determine how MDX-1106 is absorbed and distributed within the body, and how it's eventually eliminated.
NCT00003308
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed brain metastases from kidney cancer, melanoma, or sarcoma.
NCT02376699
This study is being done to find out if SEA-CD40 is safe and effective when given alone, in combination with pembrolizumab, and in combination with pembrolizumab, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel. The study will test increasing doses of SEA-CD40 given at least every 3 weeks to small groups of patients. The goal is to find the highest dose of SEA-CD40 that can be given to patients that does not cause unacceptable side effects. Different dose regimens will be evaluated. Different methods of administration may be evaluated. The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic effects, biomarkers of response, and antitumor activity of SEA-CD40 will also be evaluated.
NCT03652077
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of INCAGN02390 in participants with select advanced malignancies.
NCT02404441
The purpose of this "first-in-human" study of PDR001 was to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and antitumor activity of PDR001 administered i.v. as a single agent to adult patients with solid tumors. By blocking the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, PDR001 inhibits the PD-1 immune checkpoint, resulting in activation of an antitumor immune response by activating effector T-cells and inhibiting regulatory T-cells.
NCT03602079
Open-label, Phase I-II, first-in-human (FIH) study for A166 monotherapy in HER2-expressing or amplified patients who progressed on or did not respond to available standard therapies. Patients must have documented HER2 expression or amplification. The patient must have exhausted available standard therapies. Patients will receive study drug as a single IV infusion. Cycles will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
NCT02857270
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of an extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK1/2) inhibitor LY3214996 administered alone or in combination with other agents in participants with advanced cancer.
NCT02835807
A sample of mothers in Tennessee are recruited to a group-randomized pretest-posttest controlled trial evaluating the effect of a social media campaign to decrease mothers' permissiveness for daughters to indoor tan. The primary outcomes is mothers' permissiveness for indoor tanning by daughters. Secondary outcomes are mother's indoor tanning prevalence and their support for stricter bans on indoor tanning by minors.
NCT02366195
The study is a phase 2, multi centered, single arm study designed to evaluate the correlation between cluster of differentiation 8-positive (CD8+) cell density and objective response rate in adults with unresected stage IIIB to IVM1c melanoma. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of talimogene laherparepvec.
