NCT01319565
Background: \- An experimental treatment for metastatic melanoma involves cell therapy, in which researchers take white blood cells (lymphocytes) from the tumor tissue, grow them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then use the cells to attack the tumor tissue. Before receiving the cells, chemotherapy is needed to temporarily suppress the immune system to improve the chances that the tumor-fighting cells will be able to survive in the body. In some studies of cell therapy, individuals who have received total body irradiation (TBI) in addition to the chemotherapy (in order to increase the length of time that they do not produce white blood cells) seem to have a slightly better response to the treatment, but it is not known if adding radiation to the cell therapy will cause a better response for all individuals. Researchers are interested in comparing cell therapy given with the usual chemotherapy to cell therapy given with the usual chemotherapy and TBI. Objectives: \- To compare the effectiveness of cell therapy given with chemotherapy to cell therapy given with chemotherapy and total body irradiation in individuals with metastatic melanoma. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with metastatic melanoma. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical examination, medical history, blood tests, and tumor imaging studies. * Participants will be divided into two groups: cell therapy with chemotherapy alone (group 1) or cell therapy with chemotherapy plus TBI (group 2). * All participants will provide a tumor sample from either surgery or a tumor biopsy for white blood cell collection. * Participants will have leukapheresis to collect additional white blood cells for cell growth and future testing, and TBI group participants will also provide stem cells to help them recover after radiation. (TBI participants who cannot provide enough stem cells will be moved to the non-radiation treatment group.) * Participants will have chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide (two treatments over 2 days) and fludarabine (five treatments over 5 days) starting 7 days before the cell therapy. Participants in the TBI group will also have TBI for the 3 days immediately before the cell therapy. * All participants will receive the white blood cells, followed by high dose aldesleukin every 8 hours for up to 5 days after the cell infusion to help keep the therapy cells alive and active. Participants will also have injections of filgrastim to stimulate blood cell production, and participants in the TBI group will also receive their stem cells. * Participants will take an antibiotic for at least 6 months after treatment to prevent pneumonia and will be asked to return for regular monitoring and follow-up visits for at least 5 years to evaluate the tumors response to treatment.
NCT04079166
The purpose of this study is to find out if two new treatment cancer vaccines called SCIB1 and iSCIB1+ can be used safely when added to nivolumab (Opdivo) with ipilimumab (Yervoy), or SCIB1 with pembrolizumab (Keytruda). Pembrolizumab or nivolumab with ipilimumab are standard treatments approved for patients with advanced melanoma (skin cancer). The study will also look to see if SCIB1 or iSCIB1+ can increase the likelihood that melanoma patients will respond to the standard treatments, and also if SCIB1 and iSCIB1+ can help to make those responses last longer. SCIB1 and iSCIB1+ are considered experimental. SCIB1 has been given to melanoma patients in an earlier study. It was generally well-tolerated, and researchers saw some signs that it may help to stimulate the immune system, which is a way in which the body can fight the cancer. iSCIB1+ is similar to SCIB1 but might benefit more patients with melanoma.
NCT06994208
The primary objective of the study is to analyse a local cohort of patients aged 18-39 years with melanoma diagnosis in order to determine the prevalence of the disease in this age group. Secondary objectives are the following: * To identify risk factors associated with melanoma in young people. * To characterise the phenotype and dermoscopic features of melanoma in patients aged 18-39 years. * To analyse the relationship between the clinical and histopathological features of melanoma in young people. * To identify the mutational status of B-RAF in the sample of patients analysed.
NCT04198766
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, non-randomized, 4-part trial to determine the safety profile and identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of INBRX 106 administered as a single agent or in combination with the anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) pembrolizumab (Keytruda®). KEYTRUDA is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp \& Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck \& Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA.
NCT04091022
This is a single institution, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase IIB trial of 1) topical diclofenac and topical DFMO, or 2) placebo in participants with a history of non melanoma skin cancer/ keratinocytic cancers.
NCT02910700
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well nivolumab with trametinib and dabrafenib, or encorafenib and binimetinib work in treating patients with BRAF-mutated stage III-IV melanoma that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Trametinib, dabrafenib, encorafenib, and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known if nivolumab with trametinib and dabrafenib, or encorafenib and binimetinib may work better in treating patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma.
NCT07266142
The goal of this clinical trial is to set up a prospective, fit-for-purpose collection of human body material (HBM)-blood (serum, plasma, DNA) and tissue-and standardized clinical data of patients with cutaneous melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To create a biobank with samples of human body material (HBM): blood (serum/plasma/DNA) and tissue and clinical data of patients with cutaneous melanoma and non-melanoma. * To support future research questions (after specific approval of the Ethics Committee) by using the biobank (through satellite protocols). If there is a comparison group: Not applicable (umbrella protocol for collection only). Participants will: * Share demographics, medical and surgical history, risk factors. * Complete Cancer Worry Scale questionnaire. * Provide biological samples: * Blood samples (serum, plasma, DNA). * Tissue samples (residual tissue or additional biopsy if consented).
NCT02360579
Prospective, interventional multicenter study evaluating adoptive cell therapy (ACT) via infusion of LN-144 (autologous TIL) followed by interleukin 2 (IL-2) after a nonmyeloablative lymphodepletion (NMA LD) preconditioning regimen.
NCT03595683
This study is being done to determine if orally administered EDP1503 will enhance the response to standard immunotherapy treatment (pembrolizumab) in participants with advanced melanoma. The study will involve initial administration of EDP1503 for a run-in period (2 weeks) followed by administration of both EDP1503 (twice daily) and pembrolizumab (every 3 weeks). Mandatory biopsies are required before starting study treatment and after 2 weeks of EDP1503 dosing.
NCT04996823
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if taking axitinib with ipilimumab is effective in treating advanced melanoma.
NCT04844528
This is a randomized, phase II, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with planned crossover to the intervention arm after 1 year. Consenting patients with CLL who have had at least one NMSC diagnosed in the past year will be randomized to receive either oral nicotinamide 500 mg twice daily (BID) for 1 year or oral placebo 1 tablet twice daily for 1 year. Patients will be stratified according to CLL therapy and the number of prior NMSC. At the end of 1 year, patients will undergo dermatologic examination and the number of new NMSC will be quantified. The number of patients who develop new NMSC in each arm will be documented. At this time, patients will be unblinded and all patients will receive Nicotinamide 500 mg BID for an additional year. At the end of this second year, patients will again undergo dermatologic examination, and the number of new NMSC will be quantified. The number of patients who develop NMSC will be documented. Skin biopsies will be taken for correlative studies. Enrollment will be split into two parts separated by an interim analysis. Part 1 will accrue 40 patients: 20 to each arm. After 40 patients have completed their 12 month visit an interim futility analysis will be conducted prior to recruiting more patients. The study will stop if the difference in the number of patients with NMSC between control and treatment arms is 0 or less (i.e., absolutely no evidence that the treatment is better than control). If the trial is not stopped, the investigators will proceed with Part 2 and recruit 46 more patients.
NCT05393713
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of STI-3031 given directly into the into the lymph nodes or the lymph vessels (intra-lymphatic) using the Sofusa DoseConnect device in treating patients with melanoma that has spread through a lymph vessel and begins to grow more than 2 centimeters away from the primary tumor but before it reaches the nearest lymph node (in-transit). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as STI-3031, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
NCT04318717
This is an open-label, single center, one cohort, non-randomized, phase II study. The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of hypofractionated radiotherapy (HRT) and pembrolizumab on local tumor control in mucosal melanoma patients. Treatment effect will be compared with historical radiation therapy-alone control data.
NCT07252661
This is a research study of an experimental drug called ACC-1898. ACC-1898 is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that blocks several proteins kinases which may help cancer cells grow and spread. The purpose of this Phase 1 clinical trial is to find a safe dose of ACC-1898 and to understand how the body absorbs, distributes, and eliminates the drug (pharmacokinetics / PK). The study will also look for early signs that ACC-1898 may slow or shrink tumors and explore possible biological markers related to drug activity. Adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have no remaining standard treatment options may take part. All participants will receive ACC-1898 tablets by mouth once daily in repeating 21-day cycles. Treatment may continue for up to two years if the cancer does not worsen and side effects are manageable. Safety information, laboratory results and imaging scans (CT or MRI) will be collected regularly. The study will first test different dose levels (dose-escalation phase) and may later expand enrollment in selected tumor types once a recommended dose is found.
NCT07136181
This study is being done to find the best dose of an investigational drug called NBM-BMX for people with metastatic uveal melanoma, a type of eye cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The study will help doctors learn about the side effects of NBM-BMX, how the drug is processed in the body, and whether it may slow down or shrink tumors. Participants will take NBM-BMX as a capsule by mouth twice daily on an empty stomach with at least six ounces (180 mL) of water. No food or drink (other than water) should be consumed for at least two hours after each dose. Participants will visit the clinic about once every week or two for exams and blood tests while taking NBM-BMX. After stopping treatment, a follow-up visit will occur about 30 days later. Treatment may continue as long as the cancer does not get worse and side effects remain manageable.
NCT01134614
This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving ipilimumab with or without sargramostim (GM-CSF) works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Ipilimumab works by activating the patient's immune system to fight cancer. Colony-stimulating factors, such as sargramostim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of treatment. It is not yet known whether giving ipilimumab together with sargramostim is more effective than ipilimumab alone in treating melanoma.
NCT07106827
This is a single-arm, single-center study for multiple tumor indications to evaluate the safety of GV20-0251. The trial uses a 3 + 3 design and enrolls 3-6 patients in the 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg dose groups, respectively. The cancer types include solid tumors.
NCT04955743
This is a phase 2, Simon's 2-stage designed study with 2 cohorts of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 experienced patients with untreated brain metastases: 1) melanoma and 2) renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
NCT05770102
This clinical trial is looking at a drug called atezolizumab. Atezolizumab is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with urothelial cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and triple negative breast cancer. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Atezolizumab works in patients with these types of cancers which have certain changes in the cancer cells called high tumour mutational burden (TMB) or high microsatellite instability (MSI) or proven (previously diagnosed) constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD). Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which are also TMB/MSH-high or show CMMRD. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.
NCT01334008
