Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

The purpose of the study is to assess whether a vaccine containing a small fragment of the protein IDO, which may be present in cancer cells and cells of the immune system, is safe to use in combination with either Ipilimumab or Vemurafenib in the treatment of malignant melanoma that has metastasized.

Phase 1b/2a, open-label, sequential dose escalation and expansion study of AMG 232 in combination with trametinib and dabrafenib in subjects with metastatic melanoma followed by a direct comparison of AMG 232 combined with trametinib and dabrafenib versus trametinib combined with dabrafenib alone.

Primary Objectives Determine the response rate associated with treatment of refractory disseminated malignant melanoma with disulfiram and chelated zinc. Secondary Objectives Determine the progression-free survival associated with treatment of refractory disseminated malignant melanoma with disulfiram and chelated zinc. Determine the overall survival associated with treatment of refractory disseminated malignant melanoma with disulfiram and chelated zinc. Determine the toxicity associated with treatment of refractory disseminated malignant melanoma with disulfiram and chelated zinc Determine the effect of disulfiram and chelated zinc on in vivo protein S-glutathionylation.

This was a two-arm, open-label, randomized, Phase III study comparing dabrafenib (GSK2118436) and trametinib (GSK1120212) combination therapy with vemurafenib.

The purpose of this this study is to determine if a structured educational training program is successful in teaching surgeons a new operative technique. It will then be determined if this new operative technique is safe.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety profile of vemurafenib, 960 mg, administered for 6 weeks, followed by ipilimumab monotherapy in patients with BRAF V600 mutated advanced/metastatic melanoma.

Objectives: This is an exploratory study, consisting of two parts. In part I dose escalation is performed and the primary objective is the safety of different doses of TLR-DC and Trimix DC. In part II Trimix DC vaccination will be compared with TLR-DC vaccination and the primary objective of this part is the immunological response, with toxicity and clinical efficacy being secondary objectives. These studies will provide important data on the safety and immunological effects of TLR-DC and Trimix DC. Study design: Part I of this study is an open label dose escalation study. Part II of this study is an open label randomized phase II study. Study population: Our study population consists of melanoma patients, with proven expression of melanoma associated tumor antigens gp100 and tyrosinase. Melanoma patients with regional lymph node metastasis in whom a radical lymph node dissection is performed within 2 months of inclusion in this study (further referred to as stage III) and melanoma patients with measurable distant metastases (further referred to as stage IV) will be included.

This was a two-arm, randomized, double-blind Phase III study of dabrafenib in combination with trametinib versus two placebos in the adjuvant treatment of melanoma after surgical resection. Patients with completely resected, histologically confirmed, BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive, high-risk [Stage IIIa (lymph node metastasis >1 mm), IIIb or IIIc] cutaneous melanoma were screened for eligibility. Subjects were randomized to receive either dabrafenib (150 milligram (mg) twice daily [BID]) and trametinib (2 mg once daily [QD]) combination therapy or two placebos for 12 months.

BRF113683 is a Phase III, randomized, open-label study comparing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of GSK2118436 to dacarbazine (DTIC), in subjects with BRAF mutant advanced (Stage III) or metastatic (Stage IV) melanoma. Subjects will be randomized to receive 150 mg of GSK2118436 twice daily or 1000 mg/m2 DTIC every 3 weeks and continue on treatment until disease progression, death, or unacceptable adverse event. Subjects who progress on DTIC will be allowed to crossover to an optional extension arm of the study to receive GSK2118436.

IMCgp100 is a new biological therapy designed for the treatment of melanoma skin cancer. The drug is designed to target melanoma cells and stimulate immune cells to kill them. This trial is designed to establish the level of drug that can be given to a patient that is tolerable. It also designed to establish the best dosing schedule for the drug and to look for signals that the drug is working as intended.
