Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

This is a prospective multicenter, group-matched study of patients with primary indeterminate lesions or choroidal melanoma who receive treatment with belzupacap sarotalocan (bel-sar; AU-011) and patients who are planned to receive standard of care (SOC) treatment with plaque radiotherapy (plaque) to compare the visual outcomes of AU-011 and plaque radiotherapy.

The purpose of this study is the validation of MMS test to detect active tumor growth in different cancer types before and after therapy, as well as in the course of therapy and for subsequent relapse control compared to standard methods (clinical examination, imaging, tumor markers). It should be consider whether the MMS test has comparable diagnostic accuracy, and thus can replace more expensive or invasive procedures in future.

This study is designed to collect information about melanoma using a research probe, a device placed only on the skin. This study will investigate whether using the probe to examine skin lesions could improve the accuracy of identification pre-cancerous melanoma lesions or to predict the risk melanoma in the skin of subjects. Ultimately, we would see this technique used routinely as a non-invasive device during subjects' skin examination to aid dermatologists to identify pre-cancerous (melanoma) lesions without taking tissue samples of the skin. Alternatively, this technique would, in the future, also be used to screen patients at risk for melanoma.

100 subjects who have a family history of pancreatic cancer (PC), or known genetic syndromes associated with increased risk of pancreatic cancer, will be followed for five years. This data will be used to determine the pancreatic cancer and precancerous lesion detection rate in High Risk Individuals (HRIs). Subjects may agree to annual imaging and annual biomarkers or to biomarkers only.

The INTEGRATE Registry Study follows patients with cutaneous melanoma who have had the DecisionDx-Melanoma gene expression assay performed. Data will be collected through review of medical records from clinical visits with physician. The purpose is to document the clinical application of results obtained from the DecisionDx- Melanoma multi-gene assay and to track outcomes of patients for whom DecisionDx-Melanoma testing has been completed. Additionally the study will assess the health economic impact of DecisionDx-Melanoma testing as it relates to the Melanoma population.

The EXPAND Registry Study follows patients with cutaneous melanoma who have had the DecisionDx-Melanoma gene expression assay performed as part of their clinical care. Data will be collected through review of medical records from clinical visits with physician. The purpose is to document the clinical application of results obtained from the DecisionDx- Melanoma multi-gene assay and to track outcomes of patients for whom DecisionDx-Melanoma testing has been completed. Additionally the study will assess the health economic impact of DecisionDx-Melanoma testing as it relates to the Melanoma population.

The primary objective of this study is to obtain de-identified, clinically characterized, whole blood specimens to evaluate biomarkers associated with cancer for diagnostic assay development.

During regularly scheduled appointments, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is performed on consented subjects. The OCT is a new type of camera that takes very detailed pictures inside of the eye and deeper into eye tissues. Optical Coherence Tomography imaging of intraocular tumors may lead to improved diagnosis and monitoring of tumors within the eye.

Therapy with Interleukin-2 stimulates lymphocytes in humans to become Lymphokine-activated Killer cells (LAK). This study will determine if these killer cells are able to kill certain standard cell-lines in the laboratory.

This was a retrospective cohort study using the MarketScan health care administrative claim databases: Truven Health Analytics' MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters; MarketScan Medicare Supplement and Coordination of Benefit. We conducted this analysis using the most recent available data from the MarketScan database at the time of analysis, which was 01 June 2018 to 31 December 2020. We initiated this analysis from 01 June 2018 as encorafenib + binimetinib (enco/bini) was approved for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAF mutation at this time.
