Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known if chemotherapy is more effective with or without radiation therapy in treating brain metastases. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy to the brain in treating patients who have stage IV melanoma with asymptomatic brain metastases.

RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells and decrease the recurrence of melanoma of the eye. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who are at high risk for recurrent melanoma of the eye.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow doctors to give higher doses of chemotherapy and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with metastatic melanoma.

In this study, participants with advanced melanoma will be treated with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) and their tumors and blood will be analyzed for changes related to pembrolizumab therapy. The primary hypotheses are that participants who respond to pembrolizumab have: a higher fraction of cytotoxic tumor-infiltrating T-lymphocytes (FCT) at baseline compared to those who do not respond to pembrolizumab a higher fold-increase in FCT compared to baseline than those who do not respond to pembrolizumab a higher Average Specific Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte Frequency Ratio (ASCTFR) compared to those who do not respond to pembrolizumab

Safety evaluation of combined immunogene therapy in patients with advanced melanoma.

This study is a phase I/II, multicenter, open-label study starting with a phase I part followed by a Phase II part. The phase I part of the study aims at evaluating the safety and efficacy (in terms of abscopal effect at week 6) of the treatment combination schema of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and PD-1 plus CTLA-4 inhibitors in patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients will be assigned in one of 3 cohorts depending the metastatic site. 18 patients will be enrolled in each cohort. Once the recommended optimal radiotherapy dose has been declared for the 3 cohorts, patients will be enrolled in the phase II part of the study in order to evaluate the activity (progression-free survival at 6 months) of SBRT given in combination with immune checkpoints inhibitors in patients with metastatic melanoma. 66 patients will be included in the phase II.

This is a multicenter Phase 1b, open-label study to evaluate the pharmacokinetic, safety and efficacy of binimetinib and encorafenib co-administered to adolescent patients with BRAF V600-mutant advanced/metastatic melanoma. The study consists of a Safety Run-in Phase to determine the RDE (recommended dose in expansion), followed by an Expansion Phase.

The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab treatment, either in monotherapy or in combination with ipilimumab, overall and according to various subgroups of interest, in participants with advanced melanoma and in participants with adjuvant nivolumab therapy.

IMCgp100-401 is a rollover study that is designed to provide continued access to IMCgp100 for eligible participants with advanced melanoma who have previously participated in an IMCgp100 study (parent study).

This is an observational, multicenter study in participants treated with nivolumab for the approved indications of melanoma and Lung cancer in Australia, the EU, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US). The targeted countries in the EU for study participation include Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, and Spain. Study objectives are to assess the safety experience, survival, adverse event management, and outcomes of adverse events associated with nivolumab in routine oncology care facilities.
