Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

Phase 1b of the study will evaluate the safety of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with ipilimumab. Phase 2 is a randomized study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with ipilimumab versus ipilumumab alone.

This open-label, multi-center, three-period, one sequence study will investigate the effect of vemurafenib on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin in patients with unresectable BRAFV600-mutation positive metastatic melanoma or other malignant tumor type that harbors a V600-activating mutation of BRAF without acceptable standard treatment options. Patients will receive multiple doses of vemurafenib in Periods B and C and a single dose of digoxin in Periods A and C. Eligible patients will have the option to continue treatment with vemurafenib as part of an extension study (NCT01739764). The anticipated time on study treatment is approximately 36 days.

Isolated limb perfusion (ILP) results in good response rates for locally advanced melanoma (stage IIIB and IIIC, AJCC 2009). Outcome is influenced by stage of disease, reflecting the aggressiveness of the melanoma. Our objective is to demonstrate at least a doubling of the progression free survival for the patients having an adjuvant treatment by Ipilimumab in this patient population with unfavourable characteristics. PFS ranges from 10-12 months. So at least a doubling of this period would be a clinically highly significant result.

The primary objective was to estimate the proportion of participants with detectable talimogene laherparepvec deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the blood and urine at any time after administration of talimogene laherparepvec within the first 3 cycles.

This pilot phase II trial studies how well epacadostat and vaccine therapy work in treating patients with stage III-IV melanoma. Epacadostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Vaccines made from peptides and antigens may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving epacadostat with vaccine therapy may be an effective treatment for advanced melanoma.

The hypothesis of this study is to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of Vemurafenib/PEG-interferon combination and the IFNAR1 upregulation lead by this treatment.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of Ipilimumab monotherapy in Japanese subjects with advanced melanoma

Clinical first-in-human study evaluating the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of intra-nodal administration of a personalized vaccination with IVAC MUTANOME vaccine with or without initial treatment with RBL001/RBL002 vaccine in patients with advanced melanoma

Vaccine adjuvants are compounds used to increase specific immune responses to antigens, but have minimal toxicity or lasting immune effects on their own. This study investigates the use of dendritic cells as an adjuvant for NY-ESO-1 and Melan-A/MART-1 peptides compared to Montanide® in study subjects with melanoma in complete clinical remission.

Background: Adoptive T cell therapy with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) has been reported to induce durable clinical responses in patients with metastatic melanoma. From patients own tumor material T cells are extracted, expanded and activated in vitro in a 4-6 weeks culture period. Before TIL infusion patients are preconditioned with a lymphodepleting chemotherapeutic regimen. After TIL infusion, patients are treated with IL-2 to support T cell activation and expansion in vivo. The BRAF inhibitor is an approved treatment of metastatic melanoma and functions by selectively inhibiting the BRAF mutated enzyme, consequently halting the proliferation of tumor cells. Furthermore, in vitro tests have shown that vemurafenib has immunomodulatory effects that are hypothesized to synergize with TIL therapy, which has been confirmed in animal studies. Objectives: To evaluate safety and feasibility when combining vemurafenib and ACT with TILs. To evaluate treatment related immune responses To evaluate clinical efficacy Design: Patients will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, blood samples and ECG. Patients will start vemurafenib 960 mg BID and will continue during TIL preparation. 7 days after start of vemurafenib, patients will undergo surgery to harvest tumor material for TIL production. Patient stops vemurafenib and is admitted day -8 in order to undergo lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludara starting day -7. On day 0 patients receive TIL infusion and shortly after starts IL-2 infusion continually following the decrescendo regimen. The patients will followed until progression or up to 5 years.
