Regorafenib, C-kit Mutated Malignant Melanoma, 2nd Line Therapy
MelanomaThis is a phase II trial of regorafenib in patients with metastatic melanoma harboring c-Kit mutations and/or amplifications of c-Kit gene copy number. The primary end point is disease control rate (DCR), and the secondary end points are safety, response rate (RR), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).
In-hospital Neutron Irradiator (IHNI)-Based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) in the Treatment...
MelanomaBoron Neutron Capture TherapyBoron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) has been used in the treatment of several types of malignant tumors, including malignant melanoma, high-grade gliomas, and advanced head and neck cancers. Theoretically, it represents a more precise radiotherapy in that it could spare normal cells while destroy malignant ones. However, its value is largely restricted by the fact that it could only be performed in the nuclear research reactors, the only neutron source at the time. In 2010, the world's first in-hospital neutron irradiator (IHNI) had been constructed in Beijing, China, and this study aims to evaluate whether IHNI has the potential to serve as an effective in-hospital neutron source for BNCT.
A Study Investigating SGI-110 in Combination With Ipilimumab in Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma...
Metastatic MelanomaThi pahse I, dose-escalation trial will determine the MTD, safety and the additional benefit achieved from adding SGI-110 to ipilimumab therapy in metastatic melanoma patients. Preclinical evidence generated with SGI-110 in vivo demonstrated that besides having a direct activity on tumor growth as a single agent, SGI-110 was able to "sensitize" neoplastic cells to the anti-tumor activity of CTLA-4 blockade, providing a sound scientific rationale to develop new immunotherapeutic approaches combining SGI-110 with therapeutic mAb to immune check-points.
Early FDG PET in Melanoma
Clinical Stage III Nodal or Intransit Disease or Resectable Stage IV MelanomaAdult patients with histologically proven melanoma who will be treated with pembrolizumab will undergo FDG PET/CT scan as an early evaluation of response to therapy. Changes in FDG uptake will be correlated with lab and pathology results.
Everolimus in Selected Patients With Metastatic Melanoma: Efficacy and Safety Study
MelanomaTOR Serine-Threonine Kinases1 moreThis is a single-armed, open-labeled and single-centered study of everolimus in selective patients with metastatic melanoma for evaluation of the efficacy and safety. The study objective is to evaluate efficacy profile of everolimus. The patients who comply with the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled. The estimated recruiting duration is 18 months. Everolimus will be given in the dose of 10 mg orally each day at lease 6 months unless disease progression or intolerance. The follow-up is till death(at least 1 year).
Radiation Therapy and MK-3475 for Patients With Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer, Renal...
Head and Neck Squamous Cell CarcinomaMetastatic Renal Cell Cancer7 moreThis randomized clinical trial studies radiation therapy and MK-3475 in treating patients with head and neck cancer, kidney cancer, melanoma, or lung cancer that has returned, has spread to other parts of the body, or cannot be removed by surgery. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as MK-3475, may block tumor growth by targeting certain cells and causing the immune system to attack the tumor. Studying the effects of MK-3475 with radiation therapy on the body may help doctors learn whether it may be an effective treatment for these solid tumors.
Study With T-cel Receptor Gene Therapy in Metastatic Melanoma
Stage IV Skin MelanomaEye; MelanomaPatients with stage IV melanoma (also eye melanoma) will be treated with TCR transduced cells.
