Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

Objective: To determine the Overall Response Rate (ORR) to Imprime PGG + pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced melanoma or metastatic TNBC Safety: To characterize the safety of Imprime PGG + pembrolizumab given in combination Hypothesis: Restore (for melanoma) or enhance (for TNBC) sensitivity to checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) by appropriate and effective stimulation of the subject's innate and adaptive immune systems in those subjects who have failed 1st line therapy The study will incorporate Simon's optimal 2-stage design with sample size fixed at 12 subjects each in Stage 1 for advanced melanoma and for Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) subjects. The safety criterion of ≤ 4 (or ≤ 33%) subjects with Grade 3/4 adverse events in Cycle 1 within either tumor type must be met in order to proceed to Stage 2. The starting dose is 4 mg/kg for Imprime PGG. In the event there are a total of > 4 (or > 33%) of subjects with Grade 3/4 adverse events in Cycle 1, the dose of Imprime PGG will be reduced to 2 mg/kg, and Stage 1 will be repeated at a dose of 2 mg/kg with an additional cohort of n=12 subjects. For the dose that meets the safety criterion in Stage 1, at least 1 response in melanoma subjects and 2 responses in TNBC subjects amongst the 12 subjects within each tumor type must be observed in order to proceed to Stage 2. Stage 2 will enroll an additional 17 subjects with melanoma, and 30 subjects with TNBC. For the dose that meets the Stage 1 safety criterion, success will be declared if at least 4 amongst the total of up to 29 subjects with melanoma, and 13 amongst the total of up to 42 subjects with TNBC achieve an objective response.

This study will evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of cobimetinib and atezolizumab in participants with advanced BRAF V600-wild type (WT), metastatic, or unresectable locally advanced melanoma who have progressed on prior anti-PD-1 therapy. In addition, this study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab monotherapy in participants with BRAFV600-WT metastatic or unresectable locally advanced melanoma, who have not been previously treated.

This is a prospective, double-blind placebo-controlled, multicenter, randomized phase II trial testing the adjuvant immunotherapy with Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab Placebo or Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab versus Double Placebo Control as a post-surgical/post-radiation treatment for stage IV melanoma with no evidence of disease (NED).

The prognosis of advanced metastatic melanoma remains poor although a breakthrough has been achieved with the novel anti-CTLA-4 treatment (ipilimumab) for a subset of patients. Unfortunately, due to immune resistance, the majority of patients do not obtain long-lasting clinical benefit. Radiotherapy is able to interfere with immune resistance by inducing immunogenic cell death. Preclinical evidence indicates that combining radiotherapy with anti-CTLA-4 treatment increases response rates compared to single agent treatment. These data are supported by several spectacular clinical cases and one retrospective study. The investigators hypothesize that combining ipilimumab with radiotherapy will result in a higher response rate compared to ipilimumab or radiotherapy in monotherapy. Given the complexity of the interaction in anti-tumor immunity, the first goal of this project is to assess the safety of the combined treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of entinostat used in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. Additionally, the purpose of the study is to assess how effective entinostat and pembrolizumab are in combination in patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Melanoma, and Mismatch-Repair Proficient Colorectal Cancer

This study evaluates the safety as well as the potential clinical efficacy of an adoptive transfer of CD8+ T cells, sorted with HLA-peptide multimers and specific for Melan-A and MELOE-1 melanoma antigens, to patients suffering from advanced metastatic melanoma (stages IIIc and IV).

This study is sponsored by Sierra Oncology, Inc. formerly ProNAi Therapeutics, Inc. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety of the investigational drug PNT2258 in patients with advance tumors and see how it acts in the body.

The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to investigate whether intravenous administration of REOLYSIN therapeutic virus in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin is effective and safe in the treatment of metastatic melanoma.

Based on data demonstrating synergy between paclitaxel and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition, the investigators propose that the addition of everolimus to paclitaxel with carboplatin should lead to improvements in efficacy as measured by progression-free survival and response rate.

This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 1, dose escalation study that will evaluate the safety profile, establish Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), and inform the recommended phase 2 dose of MLN4924 as well as evaluate antitumor activity in patients with metastatic melanoma.
