NCT02388906
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nivolumab is better than ipilimumab to prevent recurrence of melanoma.
NCT03958383
This phase I/II trial is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose or the maximum administered dose of intratumoral administration of hu14.18-IL2 and to evaluate side effects of intratumoral hu14.18-IL2 when given alone, after radiation therapy, after radiation therapy and in combination with nivolumab, and after radiation therapy and in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with melanoma that is advanced (stage IV) or with melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery and is considered surgically incurable. Hu14.18-IL2 is a molecule called a fusion protein that can bind to some tumor cells and cause immune cells to become activated to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses beams of high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, can help the body's immune system attack cancer by releasing the "brakes" on the immune system to allow cancer fighting immune cells to remain activated. This study will evaluate whether giving intratumoral hu14.18-IL2 with radiation therapy, nivolumab and ipilimumab has antitumor activity for participants with advanced melanoma. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30 days, every 12 weeks for up to 2 years, and then every 6 months thereafter.
NCT06613230
The goal of this observational study is to learn if so called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in blood can be used for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: Can OC Detect, a new in vitro diagnostic instrument, distinguish between VOC patterns in blood plasma from women with ovarian cancer (especially in early stage) and VOC patterns in helthy women? Participants are previosuly diagnosed patients with ovarian cancer, who agreed to store their blood samples in biobanks for future medical research purposes. Healthy female blood donors serve as benign control blood samples.
NCT05275374
This is a first-in-human multi-center study which will be conducted in advanced malignant solid tumors patients. The solid tumor type is limited to melanoma, colorectal, non-small-cell lung, and thyroid cancer with positive BRAF V600 mutation. This study is divided into three stages: Phase Ia: a dose-escalation phase of XP-102; Phase Ib: a dose-escalation and sample size expansion phase of XP-102 plus trametinib; Phase IIa: an expansion phase of XP-102 plus trametinib.
NCT05900102
Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer and is the 5th most common cancer in the United Kingdom (UK). It can affect anywhere on the skin including on the head and neck. The cancer often is first noticed as an abnormal mole. Treatment is by removing the cancer with surgery. Early spread of the cancer can be found by testing nearby glands called lymph nodes. This operation is called a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). If the cancer has spread then new treatments, such as immunotherapy, can be given to help the person live for longer. The sentinel lymph nodes are usually in the armpits or groin for melanoma on the body, arms or legs. For cancers in the head and neck the sentinel lymph nodes will usually be in the neck. For several reasons SLNB in the neck is not offered in every hospital that manages patients with melanoma. The problem with this is that some patients who could benefit are not offered the new treatments that extend life because it is not known that their cancer has spread. In this study we aim to gather national data on the management of melanoma of the head and neck including variation in practice between different hospitals. We will use routinely collected anonymous data called 'Hospital Episode Statistics' to look at who is offered SLNB after melanoma of the head or neck, what treatments they have, if their melanoma comes back and how long they survive for. By doing this, we hope to identify whether SLNB should be made available to everyone diagnosed with melanoma of the head and neck.
NCT06046625
The care of patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in the head-neck area is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. A key component in this care is the need and experience of patients. However, studies on the experiences and needs of patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in the head-neck region are lacking.
NCT05498792
Phase I, open label, dose-escalation, and safety study designed to assess the safety and biologic activity of the investigational agent CBL0137 in combination with standard of care drugs, ipilimumab and nivolumab in sequential cohorts of adult patients with locally advanced and metastatic melanoma who are candidates for immune checkpoint blockade and have tumors accessible for serial biopsies.
NCT06014619
Mohs micro-graphic surgery (Mohs) is a tissue-sparing, surgical treatment for different types of skin cancer (e.g. basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, lentigo maligna (melanoma). It is a procedure performed with frozen sections. Slow Mohs, a variant of micro-graphic surgery, is performed by formalin fixation and paraffin-embedded sections. Both in Mohs and Slow Mohs tumor margins are assessed to achieve complete removal. This study aims to investigate the clinical presentation and outcomes (i.e. complications and recurrence rates) in patients treated with Mohs or Slow Mohs in the dermatology department of the Maastricht University Medical Center+ in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
NCT06908720
This is a prospective study aimed at evaluating the diagnostic accuracy (compared to histopathological diagnosis) and clinical utility of optical super-high magnification dermoscopy (OSHMD) in detecting and differentiating skin tumors, including both benign and malignant lesions, particularly in nevi/melanoma and basal cell carcinoma, in patients with suspicious lesions at a magnification of 20x. Additionally, the characteristics of skin lesions will be analyzed using OSHMD, and their distribution in skin tumors will be assessed. The agreement between the examiners' evaluations and the concordance between dermoscopic diagnoses at 20x and 400x compared to histopathological diagnosis will also be examined. The hypothesis is that OSHMD could assist in identifying malignancy features, thus improving the diagnostic accuracy of skin tumors and potentially leading to earlier and more precise detection of neoplasms
NCT03894618
This is a Phase 1 first in human, open label, multi-center, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, anti-tumor activity and pharmacodynamic effects of SL-279252 in subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas.
NCT06899789
This is a multicentric, observational study, including all European centres willing to take part. The multicentre nature is necessary for enhancing the generalisability of our results, and due to the rarity of this condition. The study is observational including both retrospective and newly diagnosed cases of CIC with an endoscopically/histologically-proven diagnosis. Detailed characteristics will be collected, with the aim of classifying the disorders from a clinical, endoscopic, and pathological point of view. Age, sex, localisation, and histology of tumour, stage of tumour, oncological response to immune checkpoint inhibitors-induced colitis, colonoscopy, histology, inflammatory parameters, and clinical manifestations will be assessed for each patient, as well as therapy and outcome. The study will consist of 2 part: the first one will be retrospective, while the second one will be prospective al will include all incident patients diagnosed with CIC during the enrolment period.
NCT04291105
This is a Phase 2 study designed to determine the preliminary anti-tumor activity and confirm the safety of VV1 in combination with cemiplimab. The study will enroll patients with three distinct separate tumor cohorts. The cancers types are colorectal, head and neck carcinoma, and melanoma that are progressing on CPI treatment.
NCT03906253
This study is following up on previous studies that have demonstrated that geriatric subjects respond different to ultraviolet B (UVB) light than young subjects. The treatment of geriatric skin with dermal rejuvenation therapies (dermabrasion, fractionated laser resurfacing) restores the appropriate UVB response. Ongoing studies have tested the ability of fractionated laser resurfacing (FLR) to assess how long this wounding effect lasts-and have found that this appears to be a durable response which lasts for at least two years. The findings that FLR protects geriatric skin at two years is the impetus for this study. This study is an interventional study to assess if FLR treatment of one forearm of geriatric subjects with multiple actinic keratosis will result in the short-term removal of actinic keratosis, and the long-term decrease in levels of future actinic keratosis and other non-melanoma skin cancers in comparison to the untreated arm. Study length and visit: The first part of the study is completed in 1 day then there are follow up visits at 90 days and every 6 months for 5 years.
NCT03195699
Many patients have cancers that have increased activity of a protein called STAT3 that contributes critically to the development and growth of their cancer. Despite our knowledge of STAT3's importance to cancer, scientists and doctors have not developed a drug that targets it and that patients can take to treat their cancer more effectively than treatments that are now available. Tvardi Therapeutics, Incorporated has developed a compound, TTI-101, which can be given by mouth and acts as a direct inhibitor of STAT3. Administration of TTI-101 to mice demonstrated that it blocked growth of cancers of the breast, head and neck, lung, and liver and it was safe when administered at high doses to mice, rats, and dogs. In this application, Tvardi is proposing to further develop TTI-101 for treatment of solid tumors for which the prognosis is dismal. The investigators will determine how safe it is when administered to patients with cancer, determine whether an adequate dose can be administered to patients with cancer that will block STAT3 in their cancer, and determine whether treatment with TTI-101 leads to reduced growth of their cancer.
NCT04990479
From Protocol v3.0 dated 16Jun2022. This is an international, multicenter, open-label, multiple cohort, First in Human, phase 1b clinical study, designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity, and to detect any preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity of a personalized vaccine (PEV) based on GAd-PEV priming and MVA-PEV boosting, combined with SoC first-line immunotherapy using an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor in patients with unresectable stage III/IV cutaneous melanoma or with stage IV NSCLC (PDL1 ≥ 50%). The PEV vaccines will be prepared on an individual basis, following a tumor biopsy performed at the time of screening and subsequent NGS analysis, to identify patient-specific tumor mutations. Both neoantigen-encoding genetic vaccines are administered intramuscularly using 1 prime with GAd-PEV and 3 boosts with MVA-PEV in combination with the licensed programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody pembrolizumab in adult patients in patients with unresectable stage III/IV cutaneous melanoma (Cohort a) or with stage IV NSCLC (PDL1 ≥ 50%) (Cohort b).
NCT03493230
The main objective of this project is to perform a longitudinal monitoring of BRAF and NRAS cell-free DNA in a large cohort of metastatic melanomas patients before treatment and during the follow-up. Results will be compared with clinical data as imaging (based on RECIST criteria) and the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in serum (LDH).
NCT02437136
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of entinostat used in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with NSCLC. Additionally, the purpose of the study is to assess how effective entinostat and pembrolizumab are in combination in participants with NSCLC, Melanoma, and Mismatch-Repair Proficient CRC.
NCT01416831
The purpose of this study is compare the response rates in patients with metastatic melanoma treated with high-dose IL-2 to patients treated with high-dose IL-2 along with radiation therapy.
NCT03236935
The purpose of this Phase Ib study is to test the safety of NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) and pembrolizumab when used together in participants with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), urothelial carcinoma, Cervical Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, Gastric Cancer, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Merkel Cell Carcinoma, Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Lymphoma, Renal Cell Carcinoma, Small Cell Lung Cancer, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) cancer or for the Treatment of Adult Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Tumor Mutational Burden-High Solid Tumors. Pembrolizumab is a type of treatment that stimulates the immune system to attack cancer cells. The immune system is normally the body's first defense against threats like cancer. However, sometimes cancer cells produce signals like programmed death-1 (PD-1) that prevent the immune system from detecting and killing them. Pembrolizumab blocks PD-1 so your immune system can detect and attack cancer cells. To help further boost the cancer-fighting ability of your immune system, L-NMMA will be used along with pembrolizumab. L-NMMA is a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. The presence of nitric oxide synthase in the area around the cancer cells blocks the cancer-fighting ability of the immune system. Thus, the use of L-NMMA and pembrolizumab together may make the immune system work harder to attack and destroy the cancer cells.
NCT04032704
This trial will study ladiratuzumab vedotin (LV) alone and with pembrolizumab to find out if it works to treat different types of solid tumors. It will also find out what side effects may occur. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer.
