Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells and melanoma cells may make the body build an immune response and kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have metastatic melanoma.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of interleukin-12 and interferon alfa in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer or malignant melanoma. Interleukin-12 may kill tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by stimulating a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells. Combining interleukin-12 and interferon alfa may kill more cancer cells.

This is an open-label Phase 1b clinical study of ipilimumab in combination with intravenous CVA21 in subjects who have uveal melanoma metastatic to liver.

Six patients will receive IFx-Hu2.0 on an outpatient basis at a single time point in a single lesion, two lesions, or three lesions, as a monotherapy (a maximum of three lesions could be injected). These patients will be assessed for any immediate adverse reactions and at Week 4 (Day 28+/-7 business days for any delayed adverse events.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of INCAGN02390 in participants with select advanced malignancies.

In this phase I first-in-humans-study a vaccine consisting of arginase-1 (ARG1) peptides and the adjuvant Montanide ISA-51 will be tested in ten patients with metastatic solid tumors. Patients will be treated with an ARG1 vaccine every third week for 45 weeks.

This study is a Phase I study of oncolytic polio/rhinovirus recombinant (PVSRIPO) to primarily characterize the safety and tolerability of PVSRIPO in patients with AJCC Stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV melanoma in a modified 3+3 phase 1 trial design. Lesion biopsies and blood samples will be obtained pre- and post-injection throughout the study for routine histology/molecular genetic testing and immunologic analysis, respectively. Exploratory objectives include describing the response rates of PVSRIPO-injected versus non-injected lesion(s), the number of CD8 positive T cells present in the tumor biopsies before and after injection of PVSRIPO, and after PVSRIPO administration: the pathologic response in tumor biopsies, changes in the tumor microenvironment, and how systemic immune cell populations may change.

The purpose of the study is to test the effectiveness (how well the drug works), safety, and tolerability of the investigational drug called NKTR-214, when combined with nivolumab versus nivolumab given alone in participants with previously untreated melanoma skin cancer that is either unable to be surgically removed or has spread

This study is being conducted to compare the relationship of patient response to treatment to changes in tumor environment.

This Phase 1 study is designed as a cell dose escalation trial in HLA-A*02:01 and HLA-A*02:06 subjects with MAGE-A10 positive urothelial, melanoma or head and neck tumors. The study will enroll subjects between the ages of 18 and 75 using a modified 3+3 cell dose escalation design, to evaluate dose limiting toxicities and determine the target cell dose range. Following the dose escalation phase, additional subjects will be enrolled at the target cell dose range to further characterize safety and the effects at this cell dose. The study will take the subject's T cells, which are a natural type of immune cell in the blood, and send them to a laboratory to be modified. The changed T cells used in this study will be the subject's own T cells that have been genetically changed with the aim of attacking and destroying cancer cells. When the MAGE-A10ᶜ⁷⁹⁶T cells are available, subjects will undergo lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, followed by T cell infusion. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of genetically changed T cells and find out what effects, if any, they have in subjects with urothelial, melanoma or head and neck cancer. Subjects will be seen frequently by the Study Physician after receiving their T cells for the next 6 months. After that, subjects will be seen every 3, 6, or 12 months according to the Schedule of Procedures. All subjects completing or withdrawing from the interventional portion of the study will enter a long term follow-up phase for observation of delayed adverse events and overall survival for 15 years post-infusion.
