A Phase I/II Study of CR011-vcMMAE in Subjects With Unresectable Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma...

Unresectable Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of CR011-vcMMAE in patients who have unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma and have failed no more than 1 line of prior cytotoxic therapy. CR011-vcMMAE will be administered intravenously (IV) once every 3 weeks at escalating doses until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached. Once the MTD is defined, 18-32 patients will be enrolled to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of CR011-vcMMAE at this dose level. Additional dosing schedules of CR011-vcMMAE will also be explored.

Phase II Study of Metastatic Melanoma With Lymphodepleting Conditioning and Infusion of Anti-MART-1...

MelanomaSkin Cancer

Background: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes have been engineered to express a T-cell receptor (TCR) that recognizes a blood type,HLA-A 0201 (human leukocyte antigen) derived from the gp100 protein. A retroviral vector was constructed that can deliver the T-cell receptor (TCR) to cells. Patients' cells will be converted into cells able to recognize and fight melanoma tumors. Objectives: To determine whether TCR-engineered lymphocytes can be put in cells removed from patients' tumors or blood and then reinfused, with the purpose of shrinking tumors. To evaluate safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Eligibility: Patients 18 years of age or older with metastatic cancer melanoma (cancer that has spread beyond the original site). Patient's leukocyte antigen type is HLA-A 0201. Design: -Patients undergo the following procedures: Leukapheresis (on two occasions). This is a method of collecting large numbers of white blood cells. The cells obtained in the first leukapheresis procedure are grown in the laboratory, and the anti-MART-1 protein is inserted into the cells using an inactivated (harmless) virus in a process called retroviral transduction. Cells collected in the second leukapheresis procedure are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the study treatment. Chemotherapy. Patients are given chemotherapy through a vein (intravenously, IV) over 1 hour for 2 days to suppress the immune system so that the patient's immune cells do not interfere with the treatment. Treatment with anti-melanoma antigen recognized by T-cells (MART)-1. Patients receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of the treated cells containing anti-MART-1 protein, followed by infusions of a drug called IL-2 (aldesleukin), which helps boost the effectiveness of the treated white cells. Patients are given support medications to prevent complications such as infections. Patients may undergo a tumor biopsy (removal of a small piece of tumor tissue). Patients are evaluated with laboratory tests and imaging tests, such as CT (computed tomography) scans, 4 to 6 weeks after treatment and then once a month for 3 to 4 months to determine the response to treatment. Patients have blood tests at 3, 6, and 12 months and then annually for 5 years.

Abraxane and Avastin as Therapy for Patients With Malignant Melanoma, a Phase II Study

Metastatic Malignant Melanoma

The study is an open-label, single arm multicenter Phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of Abraxane and Avastin as first-line therapy for patients with unresectable metastatic malignant melanoma. The patient sample will be approximately 50 individuals, males and females 18 years of age or older with measurable metastatic melanoma. Patients will be treated with Abraxane administered weekly for 3 weeks via a 30-minute IV infusion at150 mg/m2 followed by 1 week rest (28-day cycle). Avastin will be administered in a dose of 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (without rest period). Patients will be evaluated for disease progression every 2 months and those who do not have disease progression or unacceptable toxicity will be offered ongoing therapy until they have progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.

Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma That Cannot Be Removed...

Acral Lentiginous Malignant MelanomaRecurrent Melanoma4 more

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.

Pegylated Arginine Deiminase in Treating Patients With Metastatic Melanoma That Cannot Be Removed...

Melanoma (Skin)

RATIONALE: Pegylated arginine deiminase may stop the growth of tumor cells by taking away an amino acid needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well pegylated arginine deiminase works in treating patients with metastatic melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.

Therapeutic Autologous Lymphocytes, Cyclophosphamide, and Aldesleukin in Treating Patients With...

Recurrent MelanomaStage IV Melanoma

RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as therapeutic autologous lymphocytes, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cyclophosphamide may also stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Aldesleukin may stimulate white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Giving therapeutic autologous lymphocytes together with cyclophosphamide and aldesleukin may be an effective treatment for melanoma. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of giving therapeutic autologous lymphocytes together with cyclophosphamide and aldesleukin in treating patients with stage IV melanoma

Phase 1 Study of MPC-6827 and Temozolomide in Metastatic Melanoma

Metastatic Melanoma

This is an open-label, dose finding, multiple-dose study in subjects with metastatic melanoma. Three dose levels of MPC-6827 will be administered with temozolomide to three separate cohorts. Study endpoints will include determination of the maximum tolerated dose, determination of dose limiting toxicities, and evaluation of evidence of anti-tumor activity of MPC-6827 when given with temozolomide.

Efficacy and Safety Study of Talimogene Laherparepvec Compared to Granulocyte Macrophage Colony...

Melanoma

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.

Ranibizumab in Combination With Proton Beam Irradiation for Choroidal Melanoma

Choroidal Melanoma

The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of the anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial cell growth factor) treatment, ranibizumab, in combination with proton beam irradiation for the treatment of choroidal melanoma by determining the incidence and severity of ocular adverse events. Systemic adverse events will also be evaluated. A secondary objective is to assess the efficacy of ranibizumab in reducing ocular complications that can occur after irradiation.

CY503 for the Treatment of Malignant Melanoma Stage IV After Failure of Prior Therapy

Melanoma

The trial is designed as a phase II evaluation of the effect of CY-503 on progression free survival (PFS) in patients with stage IV malignant melanoma after failure of prior therapy. The aim of the study is at least a rate of 25% (PFS >/= 3 months).
