Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

This is a phase one trial to determine if genetically engineered lymphocytes can be safely delivered to patients with metastatic melanoma.

To characterize and quantify immune cells expressing the Interleukine 4 induced gene 1 (IL4I1) immunosuppressive enzyme in the blood and in tissue of melanoma patients (primary tumor, sentinel lymph nodes and cutaneous metastases). Then, to compare the results obtained in different clinical settings: in cases of progression of the disease slower or faster compared to the prognosis established by clinical and pathological data before and after treatments with immunotherapy (anti Programmed Death ligand 1 (anti-PD1) or anti-PD1 and anti Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte associated protein 4 (anti-CTLA-4)) and / or targeted therapies (BRAF inhibitors and /or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)).

Prospective, monocentric clinical study. Patients selected for nivolumab therapy in AP-HM for melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer will be eligible. Do not include patients with conditions that do not allow MRI, prior cardiovascular disease with LVEF<50%, cardiomyopathy, history of cardiac arrhythmia, history of cardiovascular toxicity under anticancer therapy, coronary artery disease or stroke less than 3 months Therapeutic management will not be modified and treatment will be administrated as usual. Cardiovascular follow up will be identical to that recommended and realized in current care in the Cardio-Oncology unit of AP-HM. It will include clinical, biological (BNP and troponin) and trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) at baseline and then at 1, 3 and 6 months. Auto-antibodies against troponin I assay will be performed to avoid false negatives of normal blood level of troponin I at baseline and then at 6 months. Cardiac MRI will be performed as well at baseline and at the end of the study (6 months). MRI is the gold standard for ventricular function evaluation. Primary endpoint will be left ventricular function evolution evaluated by global longitudinal strain (GLS, 2D speckles tracking) in TTE. Secondary endpoints will be left and right ventricular function parameters: LEVF by TTE and MRI, left ventricular indexed volumes by TTE and MRI, right ejection ventricular function and indexed volumes by TTE and MRI, systolic pulmonary arterial pressure by TTE, serum troponin I and BNP, arrhythmias and conduction disorders on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Number of required subjects: GLS is recommended for following up left ventricular function under anticancer treatments. Based on the hypothesis of a significant GLS decrease (15%) in 20% of cases with alpha risk of 0.05 and accuracy of 0.12 which means expected confidence interval of 0.08-0.32, then the number of required subjects is 50 patients. The inclusion period will be 18 months with a follow up if 6 months, ie a total duration of the study of 24 months.

This clinical trial studies the use of 7-Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting melanoma that has spread to the brain (melanoma brain metastases). The standard MRI brain imaging is done on 3T or similar MRI machine, but the 7T MRI machine has a larger magnet which has been shown to have superior resolution of the brain and of non-cancerous brain lesions. Diagnostic procedures such as 7T MRI may help find and diagnose melanoma brain metastases earlier than standard 3T MRI.

This is a 2-armed randomised controlled trial comparing surgery alone with surgery plus post-operative radiation therapy for patients with completely resected primary melanoma showing histological features of neurotropism. Uncontrolled studies suggest that this form of primary melanoma has a high risk of local recurrence and that postoperative radiation therapy may substantially reduce that risk. Patients who are eligible on the basis of the pathology of the excised melanoma will be offered the opportunity to take part in the trial. Those randomised to receive radiation therapy will be treated with a simple technique encompassing the surgical bed plus a margin. Radiation will commence within 3 months of surgery (maximum of 14 weeks from surgery to start of radiotherapy).

The aim of this study is to find out whether the combination of two approved drugs, ipilimumab and nivolumab, in combination with cryoablation are safe and effective for participants who have an unresectable melanoma that is resistant, or is growing, after receiving immunotherapy with a PD-1 inhibitor. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: Cryoablation (an interventional radiology procedure that freezes part of a tumor) Ipilimumab (an immunotherapy) Nivolumab (an immunotherapy)

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of T3011 in combination with Cobimetinib in patients with advanced melanoma.

PROQEM is a prospective cohort study among patients diagnosed with uveal melanoma to assess quality of life before and in the first five years after treatment.

The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera Inc. in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from various specimen formats including malignant fluids such as pleural effusions and ascites, core needle biopsies, fine needle aspirates, or resections.
