Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

A phase 1, multicenter, open label, non-randomized dose escalation and dose expansion study to examine the maximum tolerated dose, (MTD), minimum effective dose (MED) and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of intratumoral ONM-501 as monotherapy and in combination with a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas.

In this study the aim is to investigate whether transfer of the microbiota of either responder or non-responder patients via fecal microbiotica transplantation (FMT) can convert the response to immunotherapy in immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) refractory metastatic melanoma patients. This is a randomized double-blind intervention phase Ib/IIa trial in ICI refractory metastatic melanoma patients receiving either FMT of an ICI responding or FMT from an ICI non-responding donor, in combination with ICI. Following randomization, patients will receive vancomycin 250 mg, four times daily for 4 days (day -5 up until day -2), and undergo bowel clearance on day -1 (in total 1L MoviPrep). The FMT, either derived from donor group R (who showed a good response on anti-PD-1 therapy) or donor group NR (who showed progression on anti-PD-1 therapy), will be performed by a gastroenterologist using esophagogastroduodenoscopy. A total amount of 198mL (containing a total of 60 gram feces) will be used for transplantation. Anti-PD-1 treatment will be continued according to the patient's regular treatment schedule. Evaluation of safety and response to treatment will be performed.

The main purpose of this study is to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of the combination of HL-085 and Vemurafenib in Advanced Melanoma Patients with BRAF V600E/K Mutation. This study includes IIa and IIb phase. Phase IIa will determine the dose regiment for Phase IIb. Phase IIb part will evaluate the efficacy and safety with this combination regiment.

This is a Phase 2/3, multi-arm, multi-stage, open-label study of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*02:01 negative participants with metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM) who will be randomized to receive either IDE196 + crizotinib or investigator's choice of treatment (pembrolizumab, ipilimumab + nivolumab, or dacarbazine).

This is a patient oriented translational research project aiming to improve clinical outcomes for patients with BRAF and NRAS wild-type unresectable Stage III or Stage IV metastatic melanoma who have progressed on, or are unable to receive standard therapy (in general, immunotherapy). Consecutive patients seen at three major clinics and fitting the broad eligibility criteria will be invited to participate. The approach is designed to test the impact of different targeted drugs on different mutations in a single type of cancer. In this project, patients will have tumour tissue genetically profiled to determine which mutation(s) are present, and will then be assigned to receive a matched drug expected to target the mutation(s) in the tumour. Where multiple targets are identified in one patient, or where multiple potential therapies would be appropriate for a single tumour mutation, the treating clinician may determine the appropriate therapeutic approach after consultation with the study team, using the latest version of library of matched therapies.

The purpose of this phase 2 trial is to study the activity of pembrolizumab in combination with bevacizumab in patients with untreated brain metastases from melanoma or NSCLC to determine activity and safety of the drug combination. Furthermore, in patients who undergo resection of biopsy of a brain metastasis, we will evaluate biomarkers predictive of treatment benefit, and will also conduct correlative biomarker studies on extra-cerebral specimens in all patients in whom a systemic biopsy is feasible or in archival tumor tissue when available. A total of 53 eligible patients will be enrolled on this trial (40 with melanoma and 13 with NSCLC). Individual cohorts of the study can be stopped if insufficient activity is observed in the first stage of that cohort. The study will accrue for approximately 84 months, and will be open for approximately 12 additional months as patients on study are being followed.

The purpose of this study is to learn if dendritic cell vaccine will increase the effect of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes given with chemotherapy and interleukin-2 in patients with melanoma.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of Vemurafenib in combination with Metformin in melanoma patients. The phase II part of the study will also evaluate the clinical activity of the combined regiment. Based on pre-clinical studies and a phase I trial, the investigators hypothesize that the combination of an FDA-approved non-toxic dose of oral Metformin with Vemurafenib will yield little toxicity and improve clinical outcomes in terms of objective response rates and survival in metastatic melanoma patients.

Background: Cell therapy is an experimental cancer therapy. It takes young tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (Young TIL) cells from a person s tumors and grows them in a lab. Then they are returned to the person. Researchers think adding the drug pembrolizumab might make the therapy more effective. Objective: To test if adding pembrolizumab to cell therapy is safe and effective to shrink melanoma tumors. Eligibility: People ages 18-70 years with metastatic melanoma OF THE SKIN Design: Participants will be screened with: Physical exam CT, MRI, or PET scans X-rays Heart and lung function tests if indicated Blood and urine tests Before treatment, participants will have: A piece of tumor taken from a biopsy or during surgery in order to grow TIL cells Leukapheresis: Blood flows through a needle in one arm and into a machine that removes white blood cells. The rest of the blood returns through a needle in the other arm. An IV catheter placed in the chest for getting TIL cells, aldesleukin, and pembrolizumab (if assigned) Participants will stay in the hospital for treatment. This includes: Daily chemotherapy for 1 week For some participants, pembrolizumab infusion 1 day after chemotherapy TIL cell infusion 2-4 days after chemotherapy, then aldesleukin infusion every 8 hours for up to 12 doses Filgrastim injections to help restore your blood counts Recovery for 1-3 weeks After treatment, participants will: Take an antibiotic and an antiviral for at least 6 months, as applicable If assigned, have pembrolizumab treatment every 3 weeks for 3 more doses. They may have another round. Have 2-day follow-up visits every 1-3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months

The trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Daromun neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery and adjuvant therapy to improve in a statistically significant manner the recurrence-free survival (RFS) of Stage IIIB/C melanoma patients with respect to the standard of care (surgery and adjuvant therapy).
