Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human interferon-α1b (IFN-α1b) combined with toripalimab and anlotinib hydrochloride in patients with unresectable advanced melanoma. This study consists of 2 phases（ Ib / II）. Phase Ib will determine the recommended phase Ⅱ dose for anlotinib hydrochloride. Phase II will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the triple combination regimens.

Malignant melanoma, is a kind of malignant tumor derived from melanocytes. It is common in skin, mucous membrane, eye choroid and other parts. Melanoma is one of the fastest growing malignant tumors with an annual incidence rate of 3-5%. In 2012, there were 232000 new cases of melanoma and 55000 deaths worldwide. Though, the incidence rate of melanoma is relatively low in China, it has been increasing rapidly in recent years. Melanoma has seriously endangering the health of Chinese people. Patients with stage Ⅳ melanoma have a poor prognosis. According to statistics, the median survival time of stage M1a melanoma is 15 months, while stage M1b is 8 months. The median survival time of bone metastasis melanoma is 6 months, while liver and brain metastasis is 4 months. The overall median survival time of metastatic melanoma is only 7.5 months, and the 2-year survival rate is 15%. For patients with advanced melanoma, dacarbazine is the only chemotherapy drug approved by NMPA, but its overall effective rate is only 13.4%, and the median survival time is 5.6 ~ 11 months. Therapies(new drugs or new combination treatments)with higher remission rate and longer survival are urgently needed for patients with advanced melanoma.

Non-interventional (observational) cohort prospective real life study with primary and secondary data collection from patients on adjuvant treatment with dabrafenib + trametinib in patients with completely resected high-risk stage III (stage IIIA [lymph node > 1mm], IIIB, IIIC and IIID according to AJCC 8th edition) melanoma in Turkey.

This trial is a multicenter, single arm study of efficacy of vactosertib in combination with pembrolizumab in advanced acral or mucosal melanoma patients progressed prior treatment including immunotherapy or targeted therapy and chemotherapy. This trial will be conducted though Korean Cancer Study Group (KCSG). The KCSG is responsible for the project management of the trial. Patient recruitment will take at 4 institutions. Participants will be treated for up to 35 cycles (approximately 2 years) after initiation of treatment with intravenous 200mg of pembrolizumab every 3 weeks in combination with vactosertib. Vactosertib will be given orally for 200mg, bid for 5 days (from Mon. to Fri.) per week. This study will use ORR based on RECIST 1.1 and modified RECIST 1.1 (immune related RECIST) criteria as the primary endpoint and the tumor assessment will be done every 6 weeks. Secondary endpoints are DCR, PFS, OS, and safeties. Exploratory biomarkers predictive biomarker candidates (e.g., level of PD-L1 tumor expression, EMT marker, PD-L1, TGF-β RII, and pSMAD2) in tumor tissue and ctDNA in blood will be investigated in both pre-treatment and post-treatment periods.

This study will enroll metastatic (Stage IV or inoperable stage III) melanoma (MM) patients carrying a BRAF V600E/K mutation with confirmed primary resistance to standard of care immunotherapy (single agent PD-1 or a combination of CTLA-4/PD-1 blockade). Patients must be naïve to therapy with BRAF+MEK inhibitors, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.

Describe the safety, tolerability, efficacy and approaches to prescribing prolgolimab in the standard dosing regimen of 1 mg / kg every 2 weeks in patients with advanced melanoma in routine practice. Prolgolimab (Forteca, formerly BCD 100) is an IgG1 anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1) monoclonal antibody containing the Fc-silencing 'LALA' mutation.

This study evaluates the immune related toxicity and symptom burden in chronic cancer survivors with melanoma who are receiving adjuvant immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Information collected in this study may help doctors to learn more about the side effects caused by immunotherapy, and to learn if there are any relationships between these side effects and immune and genetic biomarkers found in the blood that may be related to patient's reaction to immunotherapy.

Background The purpose of this study is to describe the profile of patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma treated with BRAF/MEK inhibitors combination and using the Tavie Skin application. TavieSkin app, a digital solution developped by Pierre Fabre, is dedicated to all BRAF-mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma patients who are treated with "any" targeted therapies. Study objectives The primary objective of the survey is to describe the demographics and clinical characteristics of patients with unresectable or metastatic BRAF-mutated melanoma treated with targeted therapy (BRAFi/MEKi) and using the TavieSkin application The secondary objectives include: To assess the use of TavieSkin app in patients with unresectable or metastatic BRAF-mutated melanoma treated with BRAFi/MEKi combination; To assess the treatment adherence of patients using TavieSkin app including treatment interruption or permanent discontinuation; To assess the health-related quality of life of patients using TavieSkin app (FACT-M); To assess work productivity and activity impairment over the treatment duration To assess the patient satisfaction toward the TavieSkin application; To assess the patient satisfaction toward the treatment. Research methods 3.1 Study design This prospective, longitudinal, survey will be conducted in Europe to characterize BRAF-mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma patients using TavieSkin app designed for accompanying patients treated with targeted therapies. To date, there are three combinations of BRAFi/MEKi available in routine practice for the treatment of BRAF-mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The survey does not provide or recommend any treatment or procedure; all decisions regarding treatment are made at the sole discretion of the treating physicians in accordance with their usual practices. The patients initiating any BRAFi/MEKi combination will be invited to use the TavieSkin app by their healthcare provider (HCP) (i.e. oncologist, dermatologist, nurse…). Once the patient has installed and started to use the application, an e-survey will be proposed to the patient via the app. A detailed information letter about the data collection, data privacy and analysis will be displayed to the patient via the app along with an e-consent for data collection. The patient will be able then to provide an e-signature, if he/she accepts to take part of this survey. The survey will collect anonymized data about health status, QoL data and satisfaction. These data will be collected by the patient only. The physician will not be involved in this e-survey (including e-consent), nor in data collection. Only patients having given consent (e-consent) to data collection and analysis will be included. Data will be collected at baseline and at different subsequent timepoints during the BRAFi/MEKi treatment duration only. Only data reported by the patients in the application will be collected and analyzed. The patient will discontinue the study in case of definitive withdrawal of BRAFi/MEKi treatment, or if he/she decides to withdraw the study and to stop data collection. The target countries for patient enrollment will include Germany, Belgium, Portugal, France, Spain, Italy and Sweden with the additional possibility of including patients from other EU countries. At least, 400 adult patients (≥18 years) will be enrolled. 3.2 Population (see section: Eligibility) 3.3 Study outcomes (see section: Outcome measures) 3.4 Statistical considerations Statistical analyses will be fully described in a written statistical analysis plan (SAP). The study endpoints will be analysed overall and by country. Analyses will be descriptive in nature, as no hypothesis will be tested. The treatment patterns of patients, baseline demographics and clinical characteristics, and reasons for treatment discontinuation will be described using summary statistics. Categorical variables will be summarized by frequencies and percentages. Continuous variables will be summarized by descriptive statistics (mean, and standard deviation, median, 25th and 75th percentiles, minimum and maximum). The number of missing observations for each variable will also be reported. Change in health-related quality-of-life scores (i.e. (FACT-M) will be summarised at baseline and at each timepoints. The change from baseline will be assessed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). Time to event data (i.e. time to treatment discontinuation, time QoL deterioration) will be evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Median survival estimates will be reported along with the 25th and 75th percentiles and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Cox regression analysis may be performed to adjust for predefined (baseline) covariates. If the sample size is adequate, subgroup analyses using variables at baseline might be conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the objective response of GB1211 and pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab and placebo in patients with advance metastatic melanoma or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults. The local treatment is effective, but patients still die of metastatic disease. It has been shown that early diagnosis of a few isolated metastases can result in a clean surgical excision of the metastases and an extension of the expected survival from 7-12 months to over 10 years on some patients. Many serum biomarkers are employed in Oncology. It makes sense to try the relevant ones in the diagnosis of metastatic uveal melanoma. The investigators hypothesis is that a soluble serum biomarker level changes upon development of metastatic disease either by secretion by the tumor cells themselves or by their environment. Detection of changes in biomarker level may lead to the diagnosis of metastases before they can be detected by imaging modalities, thus allowing for early treatment of the metastases and a better chance of success.
