Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

The skin self-examination for melanoma (SSE) educational materials were developed with the input provided by women undergoing screening mammograms. The investigators seek to evaluate the performance of SSE by women and find out if women seek care with a dermatologist for a concerning mole or for a melanoma screening examination by a dermatologist after reviewing the materials received during the mammogram visit. The purpose of this study is to enhance the early detection of melanoma among women who are engaging in health promotion by having mammograms. The investigators specifically aim to evaluate the performance of SSE by women, who receive information during their mammogram appointment, and then follow-up with dermatology for a melanoma screening examination.

The investigators aim to include 100 local participants over the next 5 years in a two-stage sequential randomized interventional study of intralesional Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) to assess the utility of treating cutaneous metastatic melanoma (CMM).

This is a Phase 1b open-label dose escalation trial of Ad/MG1-MAGEA3 and Pembrolizumab in patients with Metastatic Melanoma or Cutaneous Squamous Cell Skin Cancer that has failed prior standard of care treatments. Upon determination of a Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Feasible Dose (MFD) the study will be expanded into up to 24 additional Metastatic Melanoma patients.

This phase Ib/II trial studies the best dose of glembatumumab vedotin when giving together with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with solid tumor that has spread to other places in the body and cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as glembatumumab vedotin, nivolumab, and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This is a phase II placebo-controlled intervention trial assessing aspirin (ASA) as a UV protectant in patients at risk for melanoma.

Phase II clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of cediranib and durvalumab in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) with biopsiable disease at first line of after failure to first line systemic or liver directed therapy.

This research study is testing the combination of two drugs, sargramostim and pembrolizumab. The study is designed to see if the combination of these study drugs would improve the control of unresectable or metastatic melanoma cancer when compared to use of these drugs alone. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: Pembrolizumab Sargramostim (GM-CSF)

The proposed study is a continuation of a research program (STU00017005: Interventions to teach melanoma patients skin self-examination) designed to increase early detection of melanomas before they metastasize. In 2015, approximately 73,870 individuals in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive melanoma and about 9,940 will die from the disease. During 2002-2011, melanoma incidence increased at an average annual rate of 1.6% for men and 1.5% for women. People with a history of melanoma have a 10 times greater risk of developing a second primary melanoma relative to the general population. Early detection with surgical excision at an earlier stage when treatment is usually more effective is the only proven curative strategy. Relationship factors to help sustain skin self-examination will also be evaluated. The study has been amended to include an administrative supplement, which builds upon the pilot research completed during the summer of 2017 that measured the efficacy of two wearable UV sensors (Shade and Wearifi) and a survey assessing sun protection along with the quality of life. See Detailed Description for a description of amendment addition. This research was expanded to distance (remote) learning provided by mailing the same workbook used in the in-office training.

A one-arm, single center phase 2 trial of SAbR plus ipilimumab plus nivolumab in advanced metastatic melanoma patients

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerated dose of rAd.CD40L (also called ISF35) when given with pembrolizumab to patients with melanoma. Researchers also want to learn if the highest tolerated dose of ISF35 and pembrolizumab can help to control the disease. The safety of this drug combination will be also be studied.
