Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

T cell infiltration of tumor lesions is a known prognostic factor in several tumor types and is used as treatment mechanism in some of these tumor types. In metastatic melanoma, treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors induces clinical benefit in about 30-50% of the patients. These immune-based therapies are however accompanied by serious immune-related adverse events and high costs. Tumor infiltrating T cells express the high affinity interleukin-2 (IL2) receptor on their surface. These T cells could therefore be visualized by molecular imaging with a radio-labelled ligand for this receptor. For this purpose, the investigators have developed the PET tracer [18F]FB-IL2. The study commences with a biodistribution study (phase 1) in 5 subjects. Thereafter the main study (phase 2) starts, in which 25 subjects will receive two [18F]FB-IL2 PET scans at baseline and week 6 of treatment with either ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab or the combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab. If [18F]FB-IL2 PET is able to detect a response to treatment, it could serve as a non-invasive early indicator of T cell response to the treatment. Besides, accumulation of the PET tracer in non-target tissue could indicate infiltration of activated T cells in normal organs and thus may predict the development of an immune-related adverse event.

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab, ipilimumab, and aspirin work in treating patients with melanoma that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Aspirin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab, ipilimumab, and aspirin may work better in treating patients with melanoma.

Phase Ib/II open-label, multi-center study with a priming cycle of 4SC-202 to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of combination treatment with 4SC-202 and Pembrolizumab. A dose expansion cohort at the Recommended Phase Two Dose (RPTD) will be added. Adult patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) cutaneous melanoma primary refractory or non-responding to anti-PD-1 therapy as most current systemic anti-cancer therapy and for whom no standard therapy is available, will be enrolled. The last administration of anti-PD-1 therapy must have been performed within 6 months prior to screening.

This is an exploratory study and the primary objective is the immunogenicity and feasibility of combined chemotherapy-DC vaccination. The secondary objectives are the toxicity and clinical efficacy. This study will provide important data on the immunological efficacy of DC immunochemotherapy.

Open label, single arm study of intratumoral CVA21 and ipilimumab in advanced melanoma patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine if HF10 in combination with ipilimumab is effective in patients with stages IIIB, IIIC, or IV unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

Primary objective is to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for the combination of AEB071 and BYL719. Secondary objectives are to define the safety and tolerability of AEB071 and BYL719.

This is a study of Nivolumab combined with Ipilimumab followed by Nivolumab by itself for the treatment of patients with Melanoma that has spread to the brain. Patients with histologically confirmed Malignant Melanoma and asymptomatic brain metastases are eligible for the study.

The purpose of the study is to estimate the response rate and compare overall survival of patients taking BMS-936558 to those taking study physician's choice of either Dacarbazine or Carboplatin and Paclitaxel

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical benefit, as measured by overall survival, of nivolumab with that of. dacarbazine in patients with previously untreated, unresectable, or metastatic melanoma
