Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

This study aims to improve Skin Self-Examination accuracy by a simple cost effective intervention requiring participants to complete a mole-mapping diagram.

This study evaluates the efficacy of a passive versus an active educational intervention in increasing the ability of laypersons at low risk for melanoma development, in recognizing atypical skin melanocytic lesions. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to receive the active or the passive intervention.

Patients included will undergo biopsy and the molecular analysis will be discussed at the institutional molecular tumor board. The recommandation of the molecular tumor board will be provided to the physician in charge of the patient for final treatment desicion. The main endpoints are the number of patients with actionable molecular alterations, the number of patients with a treatment recommendation, the number of patients receiving the recommended therapy, overall survival of the patients treated according to recommendations or not. For patients treated according to the recommendations: Response rate and progression free survival at 6 months according to RECIST criteria.

This clinical trial studies how well an interactive tailored website works in promoting sun protection and skin self-check behaviors in patients with stage 0-III melanoma. An internet-based program may help individuals to perform skin self-checks and engage in sun protection behaviors.

Prospective, open labelled, monocentric trial to evaluation of the circulating tumor DNA rate in the blood, before and after curative resection of hepatic metastasis of uveal melanoma (HMUM) and during post-surgery follow-up

The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single intravenous (IV) infusion of 14C-labeled vemurafenib administered shortly after an oral dose of vemurafenib and following multiple oral doses of vemurafenib twice daily (BID) at steady state as well as to estimate the absolute bioavailability of multiple oral doses of vemurafenib BID at steady state in participants with BRAF^V600 mutation-positive malignancies. The study has two periods: Period A and Period B. During Period A, participants will receive vemurafenib BID orally from Day 1 to Day 20 and during Period B, participants will receive single IV infusion of 14C-labeled vemurafenib along with vemurafenib BID oral dose.

In patients with multiple metastatic nodules of melanoma, the investigators evaluated whether autologous cytokines injected into cutaneous metastases would induce a systemic immune response as evidenced by the accumulation of dense lymphocytic infiltrates in metastases that had never been injected. Such immune responses were observed, and often the never-injected metastasis regressed completely. 20% of patients remained free of disease for greater than 5 years.

Melanoma is nowadays an important public health problem because its growing incidence. Mass screening for melanoma is not recommended worldwide because of its low cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless targeted screening for patients at high risk for melanoma is promoted. This study is designed to assess the effectiveness and the acceptability of a melanoma targeted screening of melanoma, to estimate the risk function to develop a melanoma among patients at high risk according to the SAMScore and to estimate the ratio cost/ efficacy of the melanoma targeted screening. A cohort of 7700 patients is carried out in 2 departments covered by a registry of cancers. The recruitment had began in April 2011. Patients assessed at high risk according to the SAMScore were proposed a skin examination by their GP every year.

This open-label, multicenter, parallel study will evaluate the effect of multiple doses of vemurafenib on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of phenprocoumon in patients with BRAFV600 mutation-positive metastatic malignancies. Patients will be randomized to receive either treatment A: a single oral dose of phenprocoumon 6 mg on Day 1 (Eligible patients will have the option to continue treatment with vemurafenib as part of an extension study (NCT01739764).), or treatment B: vemurafenib 960 mg orally twice daily on Days 1-29 plus a single oral dose of phenprocoumon 6 mg on Day 22 (with the option to receive vemurafenib in the extension study after completion of pharmacokinetic assessments).

Primary objective: Determination of safety and tolerability of GV1001 administration combined with Temozolomide (based on blood samples and adverse events). Feasibility of combining active immunisation with Temozolomide treatment. Determination of immunological response after administration of GV1001 and Temozolomide as measured by presence of DTH skin test reaction and specific T-cell responses. Secondary: Evaluation of objective tumour response The trial is an exploratory study which main objective is to estimate safety and feasibility of combining active immunisation with chemotherapy. However, the trial may also indicate the efficacy of the combination.
