Active clinical trials for "Melanoma"

The goal of this prospective observational study is to learn about patient quality of life and experience and medical information needs during uveal melanoma post-treatment surveillance. Participants have previously undergone treatment for non-metastatic uveal melanoma and have integrated a oncological and / or ophthalmic surveillance protocol based on their individual genomic and / or clinical risk of recurrence. The main objectives it aims to assess are: To evaluate the effect of satisfaction with communication with the oncologist/ophthalmologist during the oncology/ophthalmology surveillance visit 6 months after the start of surveillance (T1) on the overall level of health status/quality of life (QoL). To explore the impact on psychosocial resources and needs such as fear of recurrence, anxiety and depression 6 months after the start of surveillance (T1) and 12 months after the start of surveillance (T2). To document patients experience of care and communication during the first 12 months of surveillance. Participants will fill in quality of life questionnaires at two timepoints. A sub-sample will be offered to participate in qualitative research interviews. Researchers will compare data from patients at low risk of recurrence with those at high risk of recurrence to see if there are significant differences with regards to quality of life, satisfaction with care and medical information needs.

The purpose of this study is to determine wether cobimetinib + vemurafenib combination treatment is effective in the treatment of BRAFV600-mutated melanoma patients with brain metastasis

This study will employ a phase Ib design using the established dose of CAVATAK with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced melanoma for whom pembrolizumab would be considered standard of care. Our hypothesis is that oncolysis of melanoma cells by CAVATAK will be important in amplifying the T-cell potentiating effects of pembrolizumab.

This is an open label Pilot study to evaluate the combination of Vigil™ and pembrolizumab in patients with incurable locally advanced or metastatic melanoma. Patients undergoing a standard of care surgical procedure (e.g., tumor biopsy, palliative resection) and meeting procurement eligibility criteria may have tumor harvested for Vigil™ vaccine manufacture. This study evaluates the hypothesis that vaccination with Vigil™ will induce cancer-specific T cell immunity in these patients. Addition of pembrolizumab to Vigil™ treated patients will further augment these immune changes on sequential biopsy when comparing post-Vigil™ but pre-PD-1 inhibitor to post-PD-1 inhibitor biopsies, and the combination therapy will be associated with reduction of tumor volume on clinical exam and/or imaging.

This study is a dose escalation of GR-MD-02 with the standard therapeutic dose of pembrolizumab in patients with advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and head and neck squamous cell cancer.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab when given with or without ipilimumab to see how well they work in treating younger patients with solid tumors or sarcomas that have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether nivolumab works better alone or with ipilimumab in treating patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors or sarcomas.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I/II trial designed to characterize the safety and estimate the efficacy of nintedanib when combined with paclitaxel chemotherapy compared with paclitaxel chemotherapy alone in patients with BRAF wild type metastatic melanoma not previously treated with taxanes or kinase inhibitors.

The study is a phase 2, multi centered, single arm study designed to evaluate the correlation between cluster of differentiation 8-positive (CD8+) cell density and objective response rate in adults with unresected stage IIIB to IVM1c melanoma. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of talimogene laherparepvec.

The study is a first in man, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and how the drug works in the body in patients with all solid tumours. The aim of this study is to determine the most effective dose of the study drug that can then be further investigated in patients with advanced melanoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of enoblituzumab (MGA271) in combination with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) when given to patients with B7-H3-expressing melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Urothelial Cancer and other B7-H3 expressing cancers. The study will also evaluate what is the highest dose of enoblituzumab that can be given safely when given with pembrolizumab. Assessments will also be done to see how the drug acts in the body (pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics) and to evaluate potential anti-tumor activity of MGA271 in combination with pembrolizumab. Safety and efficacy of enoblituzumab in combination with MGA012 (anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody; also known as INCMGA00012) will also be evaluated.
